Knights and Terrors (KATS) is an army level high fantasy wargame which focuses on ease of play, tactical decision making, and broad support for your existing fantasy army. Key points include;
Alternating Activations keep both Players involved as the battle develops.
The Readied mechanic allows Units to support each other and react to enemy actions.
Base and Model agnostic. Use what you’ve got.
I’m looking for feedback of any kind to improve the game, so feel free to join me in the Discord group or leave comments on the documents. In particular, I want to hear about any fantasy army concept that isn’t well represented with the existing rules and army books. The Core Rules are also open to Google Drive comments.
Thanks for playing,
-Jake (Arkalark)
