Silver Bayonet: Britain: Bones of Albion
Britain faces invasion and conquest – from Napoleon and from the undead – in this supplement for The Silver Bayonet, featuring a competitive campaign and a horde of new monsters.
As the spectre of invasion looms from across the Channel, the ghosts of Britain’s ancient past return to haunt the living. Centuries ago, as the Romans advanced across the land, a desperate druid attempted to wield a terrible power to curse the invaders… but the spell failed, Rome claimed another province, and the magic lay dormant. Now, as preparations are made for Napoleon’s seemingly inevitable arrival on these shores, labourers have uncovered a mysterious black stone and unleashed that fell curse. From Shetland to the Kentish coast, the undead of Britain’s past – Saxons, Vikings, Normans, and others – rise to march and conquer once more.
The Bones of Albion brings the action of The Silver Bayonet to the British Isles, a land under siege from both without and within. In a competitive campaign, specialist units will be called upon to investigate increasingly disturbing reports of restless ghosts and revenants. Faced with rival units and a bestiary of menacing foes, they must discover why the dead are rising in such numbers and put a stop to it before Britain falls before a horde of the undead…
