Hearts of Battle
Further, this game tries to hold on to some of the tactical play and granular decision making of wargames—the meat, if you will. The players may even be prepared for such a fight, with a company of mercenaries or followers in their retinue. How then would be best to play out this battle at the table?  Instead of trying to deploy a traditional wargame approach that would require lots of miniatures and a large table of terrain which may take much time to set up and even longer to play the battle out, this system is designed like a simple hex and counter wargame, one that can be set up quickly and without much planning ahead.
