The last part of the tutorial has you fighting a draugr and a skeleton archer.
SKYRIM CALL TO ARMS FULL
Once you finish the tutorial, you’re supposed to be ready to begin playing with the full ruleset, but as a first-time wargamer, I found that highly debatable. The entire tutorial, called Escape from Helgen, takes about thirty minutes to complete, including set up and reading through the booklet. And while there were issues understanding many of the rules (more on that later!), I’m happy overall with how my first wargaming experience went.Ĭall to Arms has a very short and simple tutorial to help learn some of the very basic game mechanics, such as using weapons and moving. That said, my familiarity with RPGs made the transition to playing a wargame easier than it could have otherwise been. Those that are used tend to be for tabletop RPGs, rather than for wargames.
Although I love collecting and painting miniatures, I’m ashamed to admit that many of them go unused. The core rules and quest book included in the Core Set, as well as the card decks and tutorial booklet.
While not as streamlined as I would have liked, The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms has a lot to offer for both competitive and cooperative play. For those familiar with The Elder Scrolls video games, this board game takes place all across the world of Tamriel, and some familiar faces and monsters make their appearance in either the core rules or in expansions.
Today I’ll be reviewing The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms, a tabletop wargame released in March of 2020 by Modiphius.
