Wow. I gotta say this may be the best simplified ttrpg war/skirmish game I've seen yet.

For years I've been trying to find some way to play out commanding a troop of units or how to run a battle with a lot of units without having to keep track and move every single one without the game turning into a massive slog.

For years, I've had players complain about the methods I would try and use to simplify the process and in the end I just run it as an Abstract thing where multiple units just acted as a blob of hit points and dealt damage depending on how many hit points are left.

I have no idea when I'll use this game or even if I'll ever use it, but I gotta say it again, this is hands down the best low number, low maintenance war/skrimish game I've seen and I've collected a lot of mass combat rules just to figure out how to actually run it.

I just have to say this. As someone who has burnt himself out on multiple TTRPG's including D&D 5e and multiple OSR games, this is by the far the best simplified OSR game I have seen since White Box: Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game. It satisfies that itch that I've been craving for a long time and presents all the rules in a straightforward way. In a way I already simplified my own games similar to this, but it didn't "click" until I found this.

In all seriousness, thanks for this game. My bookshelf is breaking under the number of books I have and I don't have anymore space, but I'm definitely buying this book POD. 10/10! It doesn't have everything, but it has just the right stuff to get you where want to be.

I can't overstate this enough. Huge thanks!
