Occasionally a core rulebook for a new tabletop war game will simply become too popular to deny further expansions. That’s exactly what happened with Joseph A. McCullough’s The Silver Bayonet, a gothic horror system which immediately captured the imagination of war gamers who were looking for a way to repurpose their Napoleonic miniatures. Those who played the initial game could see the universe had a potential to grow and The Carpathians: Castle Fier, is the first piece of additional material that builds upon that rich world.
While newcomers will not be able to play directly from this expansion pack with no room to go back over the rules, veterans to the series will appreciate this much-needed continuation.
