A Game of Knights and Knaves: The Basic Game

A Game of Knights and Knaves is a set of miniatures wargames rules covering medieval warfare and medievalesque fantasy.

The basic rules mechanics will be familiar to players of the DBX family of games: figures are grouped onto stands of uniform width classed into a number of generic types (heavy infantry, light cavalry, knights, etc) and combat is resolved stand by stand, each rolling a die, adding a combat factor depending in its type and opposition, and comparing to the opponent's. Each turn a player rolls a die to see how many command points he has to move his troops with, any within range of enemy then fighting automatically.
