ChessWar (English & Spanish)

Description
Chess like game based on the board game "ChessWar".

Introduction:
ChessWar is a strategic game for two (or more) players. It is meant to be played on a standard chessboard with standard chess pieces although it can also be used on any kind of battlefield. It is NOT chess with dice and some extra rules! Instead, it is strategic game played with chess pieces. So, pieces are not automatically captured, some pieces (units) have ranged attacks, spells, and all your pieces (units) may move during your turn.
Object in ChessWar is similar to standard chess: Defeat enemy king, called General or Warlord etc. in ChessWar.

Armies:
  • Chaos: the dreadful and evil army of Chaos Lords come from the Chaos Wastes far beyond any civilization. The army includes lots of potent close combat units but is usually few in numbers. Like the army, their foul chaos magic is aimed for destruction and attack, not defense.
  • Dwarves: slow but tough, all dwarf units are heavily armored and powerful in close combat. Their real weakness is in speed as they have no cavalry and all units are very slow because of their small feet.
  • Elfs: from the deep forest come the race of pointy-eared fellows. Unlike other armies their basic infantry are all armed with bows, filling the sky with long arrows. And when the enemy army closes, the excellent cavalry and mighty treemen can stop it in tracks.
  • Humans: the armies of the human kingdoms and empires has perhaps the most versatile army, with possibility to yield lots of cavalry, bows, Artillery or plain infantry, backed with wide variety of spells.
  • Orcs: the green-skinned big and tough but a bit slow and stupid warriors of the barren lands are fierce opponent, coming in great numbers and taking lots of punishment. Along their army come regenerating, acid-bomiting trolls and the fastest cavalry of the world, Boar Riders.
  • Ratmen: from underground caves and tunnels arrive a race of human-like big rats with long legs and many relatives. Rats come in vast hordes, but have no real artillery nor cavalry. However, even the basic infantry is far faster than melee infantry of the other armies, except for the long-legged elfs with their bows.
  • Undead: Last but not least, the scary undead army led by an undying liche lord arrives from the lost cities and cemeteries. Only the bravest can stand the unnatural horrors of the living dead who walk the earth again. But if the opponent can overcome the fear of the dead, they find that normal zombies and other undead units are very weak and slow in combat.

Say what you like, but having seen the original ChessWar, I'd say your version has the sweeter concept.

Question for you Franco: EVERY "Miniature / Models" mod link listed in the description no longer exists in the Workshop. Do you remember the names of these specific mods? I'd especially like to know where you got the Beastman and Treant from.
