## Description
Real Time Wargaming is a war game that takes place in real-time, without turns or phases. Here, chaos is the order of the day: everyone acts at the same time, and everything happens simultaneously. The goal? To defeat the enemy, of course! Battles can range from small skirmishes, like a group of Vikings facing local troops, to epic large-scale battles with over 100,000 men. The core mechanics revolve around leadership, decision-making, and compromise. Units represent organized formations, such as brigades or battalions, and you decide their size and scope. The rules are written concisely, aimed at experienced wargamers, but if you're new to the genre, it might be helpful to have someone guide you through the basics. Two key concepts are essential: Commanders and Sand Timers. Commanders don't fight but are crucial for coordinating units within their command range. When a Commander is activated, all nearby units can perform an action (move or attack). After all units have acted, the Commander is moved, and their sand timer is flipped, marking the time for the next action. Get ready for the adrenaline rush of real-time battle!
