Outremer: Faith and Blood cover

This game allows players to develop small warrior groups into powerful warbands while navigating the challenges of the Crusades in Outremer: Faith and Blood.

In Outremer: Faith and Blood, players are immersed in a 28mm skirmish wargame set during the Crusades, where small groups of warriors engage in intense battles across the region of Outremer. The game is designed for both one-off skirmish encounters and a more extensive, structured campaign that allows players to witness the evolution of their forces. Starting with a modest group of five soldiers, players can gradually build their warband into a formidable force, showcasing the growth and development of their characters through various scenarios.

Character development is a pivotal aspect of Outremer: Faith and Blood, offering a diverse array of troop options and factions that encourage individuality and personalization. Players can tailor their warbands to reflect their strategic preferences and play styles, enhancing the overall gaming experience. The inclusion of mercenaries and unique agents, such as the Hashashin and Varangian survivors, introduces additional layers of strategy, as these powerful but costly units can significantly impact the outcome of encounters.

The ruleset of Outremer: Faith and Blood is finely crafted to facilitate engaging skirmishes set against the backdrop of the Crusades. The combination of character progression, diverse troop options, and strategic depth makes this game a captivating choice for wargaming enthusiasts looking to explore the intricacies of historical battles and campaign narratives.
