KILLCHAIN™οΈ is the product of wanting a streamlined and fast version of 1971βs Chainmail or one of its many, many clones and hacks…but without being a full blown miniature wargame.
KILLCHAIN offers simple and fast rules for engaging in mass combat at any scale using theater of mind or graph paper.
Includes prices for hiring and maintaining your own mercenary group, a few optional rules, and a d20 table for mercenary jobs for your campaign.
This will be added to in the future and will get more art etc but for now itβs free to download, playtest, hack and enjoy!

I really enjoyed using this for my first battle! I've been looking for something like this for a long time.
awesome! So glad you found it useful!!
Been looking for something like this! Nicely done!
This is great! Quick and easy without tons of rules to bog you down. Makes me want to do a solo wargame.
thanks. For a full on wargame itβs tough to beat dedicated systems like chainmail, hobgoblin, etc.
Thanks!!! I'm always looking for rules for mass combat, sieges, naval combat, aerial combat, and administration of kingdoms, fortresses, and guilds.
Hell yeah this is rad! Definitely got me wanting to put together a list of monsters to hire and spells for sorcerers! If I put some stuff together for it and post it on itch is that cool by you? Amazing work though forsooth!

that would be awesome id love to see it!
I might expand these out into a full hack and post that at some point, but for now here's a few special troop types to field, as well as some specialty hirelings for campaign play!
The cost listed is for individual troops, not entire units! So ten Questing Knights would cost 240c. I haven't played with these units yet so they might be too expensive/cheap.
