Pike & Saber

A 3D tabletop wargame in your browser. Lead the winged hussars of the 17th century against pike squares, musket lines, Cossack ramparts and the Ottoman army at Vienna.

Every figure, tree, village and tent is built in code. Watch the volleys smoke, villages burn and lance pennons ripple as banners charge across the field.

Why it's fun

• Hidden orders. Each unit gets a secret order before the round: Assault, Maneuver, Defense or Reorganize. Your opponent only sees it when the unit acts.
• Every charge is a gamble. The target can fire, wheel to face you, countercharge, or fake a retreat. Lances hit hard once, then they're spent.
• Morale matters more than casualties. Hits push units from Steady to Wavering to Broken. When an army's motivation hits zero, it quits the field.
• Commanders change everything. They spend Command Points to roll for initiative, change orders mid-battle or rally a shaken unit.

What's inside

• Tutorial: a 10-minute guided battle that teaches the rules one step at a time.
• Wings of Victory campaign: five historic hussar battles on a period-style map. Fight at Kircholm 1605, Kłuszyn 1610, Chocim 1621, Trzciana 1629 and Vienna 1683. Each battle has its own armies, terrain, objectives and special rules.
• Skirmish at Windmill Hill: a fictional battle to practise against the AI.

Goal

Break the enemy's will to fight. Each army has a motivation bar at the top of the screen. It drops when its units break and flee. From round 2 it also drops each round the army holds fewer objectives than the enemy. An army at 0 motivation leaves the field. If neither army breaks, the higher motivation wins when night falls.
