This video showed almost exactly what I wanted to see before buying the game:  how it's fundamentally different from other war games like Axis & Allies or Risk (such as Dungeon-crawling), it has a lot of dice of various different side types, and gave some details on the miniatures.

Unfortunately, I'd have liked to see what each of the different faction's figurines categorised as.  Guess I'll find out when I buy it.


Definitely worth a purchase, and not just for that beautiful game board.  I have a lot of family and friends that like Risk, and probably would be willing to take the plunge into this sort of board game.

So are the minis in the proper scale with the old minis line? At least the hero figures of the board game... the monster look like there are large monsters scaled down to medium...

Conquest of Nerath Exclusive Unboxing - This is How We Roll unboxing was terrible. The amount of actual information about the game and game mechanics was miniscule and I found myself disliking the people that were pretending to play. Is a guy acting like a childish spoiled prat and tossing the game board really representative of the D&D community? I for one have never seen such behavior.
