About Trench Crusade
Trench Crusade is a skirmish-scale tabletop miniatures game that will plunge players deep into a horrifying alternate timeline. During the Crusades at 1066, a heretical band of Templars dared defy the Almighty and, casting aside their sacred vows, unleashed the forces of Hell upon the Earth. Over 800 years later, in the Year of Our Lord 1914, this brutal, merciless war between the forces of Heaven and Hell rages on. This is not just a fight for survival, but a cataclysmic struggle that will decide the very fate of humanity's soul. Set in a blasphemously alternate WW1 era, players take command of the forces of heaven and hell, leading skirmish size warbands in daring assaults and devious counter operations. From the humble bolt action rifle to the bones of cursed saints, you can tailor each loadout to complement your play style and your miniatures, making each of your troops unique. Players activate their models in alternating order to fight their way across the battlefield. Actions are resolved by rolling two D6s. There are more unpredictable modifiers, however, that will ebb and flow as the battle draws on and these come from the game’s main mechanic: Blood and Blessings. —description from the publisher
