Strength & Honour

Strength and Honour is a fast-playing, high-level, 2mm-6mm miniature wargame focused on large-scale Ancient battles (105 BC–200 AD). It emphasizes strategic command over small-unit tactics, allowing for massive engagements like Cannae in a few hours on a small table. The game uses a grid-based system for movement, unit-level cards for fog of war, and has a strong focus on Roman legionary command.

Key Features and Mechanics:

Scale: Designed primarily for 2mm figures, though 6mm, 10mm, and 28mm can be used.
Game Area: Uses a grid-based system for movement, reducing the need for tape measures and allowing for a smaller, cleaner tabletop footprint.
Army Scope: Players command large armies (8-14 units), with each unit representing a significant force, such as a Roman legion or a large tribal contingent.
Setback/Disaster Cards: Introduces unpredictability, representing the chaos of battle and forcing players to make risky decisions.
Period Focus: Covers the late Roman Republic to the 2nd Century AD (Marian Reforms to 200 AD).
Contents: Includes 20 army lists and 10 historical scenarios.

The game allows for highly tactical, asymmetric battles, with a focus on maneuvering large formations rather than managing individual soldier details.
