As general of the Orc army you will keep your enemies constantly on the defensive and no faction is better at turning a break in enemy lines into a victory. Skillful, but often cowardly, goblins round out your basic forces while the mighty, regenerating trolls are an almost unstoppable force.
Leaders of the Orc hordes can Lash your troops. For one command action, Lashing a unit increases its movement class by one and gives it an extra attack die for the turn. When battle lines turn into rough melees, this ability will let you take quick advantage of broken formations to overpower enemy units and direct your troops to quickly flank or pinch the enemy.
Each Battleground army comes in two different decks. Army Starter Decks contain eighteen unit cards, a thirty-card Command Deck and two quickstart reference cards, plus the basic rules. Each unit card is the equivalent of a boxed set of miniatures. The starter deck gives you all the cards you need to get started. You will also need two dry-erase markers.
