Throne Tactics: A Modular Historical Wargame

About this game

Throne Tactics'' is a high-stakes, miniatures-agnostic tabletop wargame designed to bring sweeping maneuvers and brutal clashes to your tabletop. Whether you command a raiding party of the Dark Ages, a disciplined Roman Legion, a thundering Macedonian Phalanx, or a desperate Crusader host, Throne Tactics provides a streamlined, tactical engine that rewards positioning, morale management, and decisive leadership. The Core Experience Built on an Alternating Unit Activation system, the game eliminates the "wait-and-see" of traditional turn-based games. Every decision matters as you and your opponent trade blows, reacting in real-time to shifting front lines and sudden charges. Miniatures Agnostic: Use any historical or fantasy miniatures in your collection. The game supports individual model basing or "multi-basing" (diorama-style movement trays) without changing the core mechanics. Leadership Matters: Your Commander isn't just a stat-block; they are the "beating heart" of the army, providing an Aura of Command that keeps nearby units from breaking under pressure. Morale & Break Tests: Units don't just fight to the last man—they break. Managing the Broken status and successfully Rallying your troops is the difference between a tactical withdrawal and a total rout. Advanced Regimental Facings: For players seeking deeper simulation, optional rules for Flanking and Rear Attacks reward clever maneuvering with significant combat bonuses. The Armory: Customize your warbands with unique War Gear like War Banners, Pavise Shields, or Master-Forged Weapons—but choose wisely, as army-wide limits apply. Solo & Campaign Play Throne Tactics includes a robust Solo Automata Engine, allowing you to fight against a "Decisive AI" that follows a unified doctrine based on unit roles. Grand Campaigns: Embark on a 10-battle narrative journey. Manage your Treasury, track Experience Points (XP) for veteran units, and deal with the aftermath of Battle Scars and injuries. Historical Tracks: Structure your games around themed campaigns like Alexander’s Conquest, Caesar in Gaul, or The Crusades, each with unique special rules and scenarios. Digital Integration: The Forge & Automata App Included in your purchase is access to the Throne Tactics Forge and the Automata Engine App. The Forge: A browser-based army builder that calculates points automatically and generates beautiful, print-ready Unit Cards. Automata Engine: A digital companion that walks you through AI decision trees for seamless solo play. —description from the publisher
