This is the full cover (front and back) of BYV. Note how the art gracefully transitions from historical to fantasy as you wrap around the cover.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you bear yourselves valiantly you will obtain victory, honour and riches. If not, you will be ruthlessly butchered, or else led ignominiously captive into the hands of pitiless enemies.\u201d\u00a0-William the Conqueror, before the battle of Hastings, 1066<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bear Yourselves Valiantly<\/em> is the fourth rule set to feature the Look, Sarge, No Charts!(TM)<\/em> rule system. BYV features dynamic mechanics that allow the players to fight the battle, not the rules. In these rules \u201crealism\u201d is gained through simple mechanics that stress the players\u2019 decision making. BYV provides period feel without pages of onerous charts or cumbersome rules.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 … And best of all, there are NO CHART CARDS to detract from the fun, clutter the aesthetics of your table, or slow down the game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Whether you are new to the Look, Sarge, No Charts!TM rule system or a fan, whether you are an aficionado of the period or a newcomer, when you play BYV, you will be challenged and excited.<\/p>\n
