Futile War - v1.0
This set of missions wants to be the when in doubt objective games for
Heralds of Ruin, as those from TT dont work quite well here.
Sometime players just want a simple excuse to deploy their armies, and
have a simple but engaging battle.
As so, these mission are made to be symmetrical, easy to learn, fast to
enact, and dont require the Objective Cards.
Have fun.
