Trench Crusade

About this board game

Trench Crusade is a skirmish-scale tabletop miniatures game for two players, with battles lasting about 120 minutes. Set in a horrifying alternate 1914, it casts the forces of Heaven and Hell into an 800-year war that threatens the fate of humanity’s soul.

The conflict began in 1066, when a heretical band of Templars defied the Almighty and unleashed Hell upon Earth. Centuries later, the brutal war still rages across a blasphemously altered version of the First World War, where survival demands daring assaults and devious counter operations.

Players build and command skirmish-sized warbands, tailoring each troop’s loadout to suit their preferred play style and miniatures. Equipment can range from a humble bolt-action rifle to the bones of cursed saints, allowing every model to feel distinct on the battlefield.

• Two-player tabletop miniatures battles
• Alternating model activations across the battlefield
• Actions resolved with two six-sided dice
• Customizable troop loadouts and unique fighters
• The shifting Blood and Blessings mechanic

Models activate in alternating order as warbands fight for position and press their attacks. Actions are resolved by rolling two D6s, while unpredictable modifiers ebb and flow throughout the battle through the game’s central Blood and Blessings mechanic.

Released in 2025, Trench Crusade combines grim alternate-history warfare, supernatural horror, and flexible skirmish combat. Take command of Heaven or Hell and enter a merciless struggle unlike any ordinary battlefield encounter.
