🔷 Banners of War: Skirmish

Banners of War: Skirmish is a slow, deliberate turn-based wargame fought on a pointy-top hex map — a clash of medieval banners. Each turn you select a unit, move it across the hexes within its range and attack an enemy in reach: infantry are sturdy melee all-rounders, archers strike from two hexes away with no counterattack, and cavalry sweep three hexes to flank. Terrain matters — forest and hill hexes blunt the damage you take but cost extra movement, and water blocks the way entirely, so position before you strike. The mode is Conquest: destroy every enemy unit on the field. When you've spent your units, end the turn and the AI maneuvers and attacks by the same rules, so every move is a small puzzle of reach, terrain and counterattacks. Field tip: every unit acts once per turn; spend them all before pressing end turn. Wipe out the entire enemy army to win. It plays instantly in your browser on phone or desktop with tap-to-move-and-attack, highlighted movement and target ranges, WebAudio sound you can mute, pause and a one-tap restart — no download, no sign-up.
