How it feels

A deliberate, historically grounded wargame where you methodically maneuver units on a hex grid, feeling the weight of tactical decisions and historical stakes.

What players say

Players praise this as a faithful digital adaptation of Mark Herman's board game, simple enough for wargame newcomers but with enough depth for veterans. They consistently mention fast 30-40 minute sessions, a surprisingly competent AI, and smooth Steam Deck performance, and many eagerly await the promised Waterloo follow-up. A few note luck from dice rolls can be frustrating.
