Description: In The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles, two armies opposing each other on the Battlefield must have roughly the same Point Cost. This is to ensure that the battle will be decided through clever strategies and tactics rather than unfair differences in army size.
The first step to setting up a game is to agree on the Army Points (see ), which will determine the size of the game. The size of the game is typically between 1500 and 3000 points for small engagements, between 3000 and 8000 points for serious battles, and beyond 8000 points for mighty clashes between epic armies. For an optimal gaming experience, we recommend playing at 4500 points.
