About this board game
Warzone: Universe Under Siege is a comprehensive 25mm, or heroic 28mm, skirmish battle system for 2–8 players, with games lasting about 240 minutes. Set in a violent retro-world of science fiction, it uses the miniatures from the original Warzone and is designed for two or more players.
The game combines an accessible rules foundation with an evolving level of strategy. A single twenty-sided die supports the system, providing simplicity and ease of play while allowing a high degree of flexibility and realism in tactical decisions.
Players can build forces from fifteen complete army lists, including vehicles and artillery. The structure of play emphasizes tactical timing through alternate activation and the separate activation of squads, creating opportunities to respond to changing conditions on the battlefield.
- Fifteen complete army lists with vehicles and artillery
- Alternate activation and separate squad activation
- Expanded Art, Dark Symmetry, and Ki Powers

Beyond its battle rules, Warzone: Universe Under Siege presents the wider Mutant Chronicles setting through a thorough historical overview and fantastic artwork. Its scenarios and campaign rules support both individual engagements and linked play, while the expanded powers add further possibilities to the setting and its conflicts.
Released in 2004, Warzone: Universe Under Siege brings together miniatures combat, army-building options, and a richly developed science-fiction world in one complete game system. It is a substantial skirmish experience for groups seeking detailed battles with room for strategic development.
