Swordpoint is a new set of “Big Battle” game rules for fighting actions in the ancient and medieval periods. Games of Swordpoint involve between 100 and 250 figures per side arranged into multiple units. The game is designed to last about 2 hours and encourages the use of historical tactics and emphasizes the need to maintain cohesion  in the army’s battle line, without being prescriptive. An extensive series of publications is planned and the game will enjoy the support of web downloads, living FAQ and a range of supported events.
