Small Wars Historical & Fantasy
About this game
Small Wars Historical & Fantasy is a tabletop wargame system designed to provide a standardised core ruleset for skirmish-scale battles across historical and fantasy settings, set prior to the widespread use of firearms. Small Wars enables players to quickly get models on the board and start playing with minimal preparation. The system serves as a flexible toolkit for creativity and experimentation. It offers a robust framework for building custom units, contingents, armies, and scenarios supporting everything from historical reenactment to fantasy conflicts. —description from the publisher
