Lion Rampant: Second Edition

Lion Rampant is a simple yet tactically deep tabletop wargame that lets players command small “warbands” of miniatures during medieval skirmishes, focusing on quick, engaging battles rather than complex historical simulation. It’s flexible for any medieval era, from the Dark Ages to the Hundred Years’ War, and even fantasy settings, using a streamlined ruleset with dice to activate units and determine actions like moving, shooting, and attacking. The game is designed for ~48-60 miniatures, offering a fun experience for both new and experienced gamers without requiring large forces or complex rules.

Lion Rampant: Second Edition is a new, updated version of the hit Osprey Wargames series title, and retains the core gameplay while also incorporating a wealth of new rules and updates from several years’ worth of player feedback and development.
