Bill Hook Games: Axe Age has been worked on for several years now. Extensivly playtested, the system holds up well to both skirmish level and large scale battle level. The system uses d10s, and was designed with 25mm-28mm scale models in mind. In addition to extensive folklore research, we had a very good official/unofficial historical consultant with a lot of knowledge and practical ideas on warfare back in the day, and we actually listened to him. For this reason, the combat system is fairly realistic and plays well.
The game takes place in a dark age fantasy setting. Law and order have broken down and you, the player, are a small time warlord trying to carve out a kingdom for yourself. Multiple tribes, weapons, armors, and much more are the tools of your trade. The various tribes that make up your warband are all drawn from history and folklore, with special abilities and available gear that reflect this. Your warband can be made up of units from diferant tribes, or from only one, it's all up to you.
