No Dragon at Frontier allows a 'free turn' for Campaign army.

This post is an advertisement for our solo variant designed to be launched in time for Gencon. This is as a result of my previous posts for the Punt your Dragon variant.

Here I have done a run through of the variant by way of introduction. We are still finishing off the rules, but we can assure you that these will be published in the Esfah Chronicles in the very near future.

In the meantime, we hope that this photo story generates enough interest to help launch our Gencant competition which, I believe, will have an interesting prize for the winner.
