CLASH of spears is a fast paced wargame to be played in 4’ by 4’ tables over 1 to 3 hours.
It was designed to be fast and intuitive while providing tactical depth and high impact split second decision making.
Gritty and personal, CLASH relies on command points and fatigue management to represent the chaos and desperation of small scale conflict. And uses special skills to represent the different specialties and fighting styles of the ancient world.
CLASH moves away from the traditional massed ranks approach of ancients rule sets and has beenthought of specifically for small actions, giving flexibility to units of closing and opening ranks as needed, and according to their preferred fighting style.
Very much a game designed by wargamers for wargamers CLASH is able to achieve tactical depth through the value of combination of arms and terrain management rather than retorting to board game mechanics and game specific game aids.
CLASH of spears is initially set on the Rise of Rome, the Punic wars and other conflicts in the western Mediterranean 4th to 2nd century BC, and its 12 army lists have been extensively playtested by 60+ people in seven countries over the last 9 months to guarantee balanced gaming whether in club or competitive environments. But with CLASH’s release we will provide full visibility into the point system and guidelines for players to quickly adapt CLASH to any period or armies of their liking.
