About the game
What you do in a play session
In Defending the Realm, peace is an illusion. You are the last bastion against an impending invasion, and the fate of the realm lies in your hands. This solo wargame puts you in command of an army that must protect cities, maintain supply lines, and negotiate with nomadic tribes. Battles are determined by dice rolls, which dictate the composition and movements of enemy forces. The campaign system creates unique scenarios where every decision can lead to victory or the downfall of the realm. The combat rules are flexible, allowing the use of miniatures of different scales, from 6mm to 15mm. Prepare for an intense strategic experience where every move counts and the survival of the realm depends on your tactical skills.
