Dragons of Glory

Published 1986

Dragons of Glory is a simple wargame set in the fantasy world of the Dragonlance fantasy series. Players take the roles of the the evil Dragon Highlords who try to conquer the nations of Ansalon, or the Whitestone forces, who try to stop the Dragon Highlords. Game consists of four scenarios and a campaign game. The game system is built around the standard wargame, with a hexgrid overlaid mapsheet, counters representing the armies and fleets of both sides and the leaders who led them, combat charts. The turn sequence is the standard you-move-I-move kind. One interesting thing about the game is that both players start with minimal forces (The Whitestone player actually starts with none!), and try to activate allied nations as the game progresses. Game component consists of one mapsheet depicting the continent of Ansalon in the fantasy world of Krynn, counters, rules and numerous charts.
