''This campaign series uses the [[Chaos Campaign]] rules and gives players the option of fighting individual battles, following a campaign arc, inserting it into their own campaigns and even create their own scenarios with optional rules to give their games a “Liao flavor.” The ebook includes a detailed map of the world of Liao, a run down of the forces involved in the conflict, and several tracks that players can use to run simple [[lance|lance-on-lance]] battles, or stage up to a world-wide invasion. Only the players' imaginations are the limits.''}}
