A 2-player game, with asymmetrical sides, both in units and victory conditions: The Spanish are conducting a desperate defense.

The board is divided into zones, and you will have other types of resources such as cannon batteries, walls, bastions, trenches, etc.

Battles are played by rolling 6-sided dice and using a deck of cards for each side, allowing you to give orders, improve your battles, dig trenches and trigger special events.

  • 1 Game Board (74 x 54 cm)
  • 16 Six-sided Dice
  • 72 Command Cards
  • 1 Sticker Sheet for the wooden blocks
