About this board game

Horizon Wars: Science-Fiction Combined-Arms Wargaming is a two-player, company-level tabletop wargame with an approximately 120-minute play time. It brings imagined future conflicts to the battlefield, combining the feel of real-world combat and tactics with versatile, quick-to-learn rules.

Designed for 2-10mm miniatures, Horizon Wars supports a broad range of science-fiction battlefields and visions of future warfare. Players can command ground forces, aircraft, and the titans of the battlefield: mechs. The rules are intended to keep battles fast-moving and enjoyable, whether the forces are small or large.

  • Fight quick clashes of patrols with a handful of mechs.
  • Deploy combined-arms forces in huge battles.
  • Use ground forces, aircraft, and mechs together on the tabletop.
  • Build units from the ground up to suit mission objectives or available figure collections.

This flexibility makes the game suitable for players with different ideas about the future of warfare. Rather than requiring one fixed setting or a specific collection of miniatures, the unit-building rules let players tailor their forces to the battle they want to play and the figures they already own.

From a focused mech confrontation to a full combined-arms engagement, Horizon Wars provides a framework for bringing imagined wars to the tabletop. Its combination of accessible rules, tactical combat, and adaptable force construction supports both quick encounters and expansive battles.
