War in Hell

Fantasy figure game deliberately designed to use any figure scale, of any historical period all at the same time – set around battles between unimaginable forces taking place in Hell. Not entirely serious.

Scale

Resolution:
Forces are represented by figures. This representation is different for different teams in the game:
Major Entities (i.e. players) are separately represented as individuals
Heavenly Hosts are represented by 1 figure = 100, and organised into choirs of roughly 10 figures.
Hordes of Hell are represented as 1 figure = 1,000, and organised into legions of roughly 20 figures.
Time:
Time has no meaning in the context of this conflict. However, to enable mortal players to grasp the enormity of the events depicted, we have converted events into linear time-slices of roughly equal length, known as ‘EONS’

Distance:
Distance is a flexible concept as well, but in order to allow mortal players to conceive of the enormity of the scale of this conflict, we have adopted a ground scale of 1”= A Certain Distance.
