The Warhammer game is very detailed and it would be a mammoth task to learn every rule before you begin to play. Fortunately this isn't really necessary. We suggest that you read through the rulebook to familiarise yourself with the basic game mechanisms and then get stuck into your first battle, because the best way to learn is by playing. The contents of this box provide an excellent start, and once you have mastered the command of the forces supplied you'll be ready to tackle larger and different forces.
