Like a wall of living, riding steel, the enemy knights came on, and though the mud of Marshcourt slowed their progress somewhat, their speed was disconcerting.'Fire at will!' Jacks commanded desperately, 'Fire at will, lads! No quarter, for they're flying the Red Banner!'   Need expendable heroes? Chaps and lasses willing to risk life and limb for king and coin? Need fortresses taken, and enemy territory raided? Then send Dead Company! War looms over the animal kingdoms of Anglemar and Fortune, and a brave band of mercenaries heads south on a critical mission. Some will find themselves pitted against the wolf captain who lurks along the road south, while others will face the army of Fortune, on a battlefield known only as Marshcourt.
