What is For Reign or Ruin: Fantasy Mass Combat Rules

For Reign or Ruin is a set of miniature wargame rules for historical ancient, medieval and fantasy battles between armies.

It was written for 15 mm fantasy and in addition to rules for all historical troop types such as infantry, cavalry, artillery and commanders, it also contains rules for heroes, monsters, swarms, undead, magic and flyers. it is independent from a specific line of miniatures or background so you can recreate your favourite battles and armies. You can download the rules, counters and army lists for free and start playing.

For Reign or Ruin is a miniature wargame simulating large scale battles with thousands of soldiers on each side, organised in units, brigades, etc. The player takes the role of army commander trying to win the battle.

For Reign or Ruin is a wargame that focuses on command rather than combat. Therefore, orders, morale and the influence of commanders requires most of your attention. Combat is simplified and is mostly used to determine the outcome of those command decisions. If you prefer complete control over your troops for movement, combat, etc. this is not the game for you. If you appreciate both the tactical challenges and the struggle of a general to stay in control, you might like it.
