Use this play mat to record accumulated battle points as well as which side wins each turn. One-inch square markers are die-cut (perforated) to separate easily.
The play mat and markers will be included as part of the basic game once we reach our Kickstarter goal of $18,000. Spread the word!

Watch the introductory video at the top of the Kickstarter page. After my introductory remarks, starting at the 3:15 point and ending at 6:45, I explain how a turn works.

Brian Hart and other supporters asked about add-ons for this Kickstarter. YES! We will offer extra sets of dice and extra decks of cards. Plus we have 2 other special add-ons to be announced soon. You can also buy a second copy of the game at any time simply by increasing your pledge amount. For example, if you chose the $35 pledge level, you can change it to $70 and we will ship 2 copies of the game to you. If both copies of the game go to the same address, there should be a savings in the shipping cost. We should be able to confirm the discount when we get the final weight of the game.
What other nations/leaders will be in the game?

“I had the pleasure of learning the game from Dana Lombardy
himself. It's a fun light wargame. Neat tactical choices with a fun bluffing element. Also doubles as a deck of playing cards.”
