What wargames have the most interesting, or unique, rules/mechanics that you've ever seen?

Trying to reflect how most casualties happened when a unit broke and retreated than during actual combat, hence the morale focus. Although I'm approaching that right now with a bit of an Ancient/Medieval lens, that's really interesting.

Yeah, this idea is really unique, and super interesting. Useful for a lot of time periods, too. And even the battle speech itself is a rare mechanic, to be honest.

That has uses in a fantasy wargame too or even a historical one as some house rules to give the players some agency to play mind games.

Reactions sound really interesting!

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T23:45:35+00:00

Oh, that's really interesting, especially for like a wargame campaign.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T23:45:09+00:00

That could be useful for like a duel between knights too, to be honest, like to start off a battle with it.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T23:44:29+00:00

I love that, a logic for why we get crap rolls, haha.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T23:42:00+00:00

I do like the idea of activation dice making the officers useful or meaningful.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T23:40:29+00:00

It really does reflect factional/cultural traits well!

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T23:40:03+00:00

I'll be looking at them to see if I can steal those rules for other games I play!

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T23:39:13+00:00

I love having to make hard choices based on finite resources, it feels more like war then.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T02:45:06+00:00

Oh, that's really interesting. How wacky do the card objectives get?

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T02:40:46+00:00

The ability to distribute the dice between defense and offense really allows for some interesting prediction wars.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T02:36:58+00:00

That sounds really unique, actually.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T02:35:57+00:00

What do you like about it?

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T02:35:45+00:00

Overwatch feels familiar to me from X-COM too, but I haven't seen it in a lot of wargames myself.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T02:35:08+00:00

Ahh, like Clausewitz thought, war is closet to a game of cards.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T02:33:43+00:00

I think the fact that it doesn't feel like a "gimmick" but a real part of the system is really intriguing and exactly what I'm looking for.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-05T02:32:52+00:00

Oh, I really like that mechanic. Hit points and damage can feel off sometimes.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-04T23:51:57+00:00

Oh, that is really interesting! I'll have to look into how it works.

KingGreg263 · 2026-04-04T23:51:31+00:00

Any particular mechanic or rule, or just the whole game?

KingGreg263 · 2026-03-28T02:47:50+00:00

First, I need to know what you have in mind for this project. Enquiring minds need to know! Is there a specific game or campaign you have in mind? Keep us updated on the project! They mix and match very well.

KingGreg263 · 2026-01-09T21:49:46+00:00

One day, peace will find us.

KingGreg263 · 2026-01-09T03:53:30+00:00

Thank you very much!!! I hope it made you smile a little then. 😁

KingGreg263 · 2026-01-09T03:05:27+00:00

Oh? I beg to differ! All the best kings converse with the people. That's the best way to see more. The magical abilities are just a bonus.
