Every piece is a secret. Two armies face each other across the board, and neither side can see the other's ranks. Is that piece marching towards you a lowly scout or the Marshal himself? Attack and find out, or bluff and make your opponent guess. Heroic Battle is the classic board game of hidden ranks, played on a 10×10 battlefield with 40 pieces a side. Capture the enemy flag to win. Watch out for bombs, send your miners to defuse them, and remember: even the mighty Marshal falls to the Spy. Face a world champion - Your computer opponent is Probe, a three-time world champion AI. It bluffs, it remembers, and it punishes careless moves. Three skill levels take you from first game to serious challenge. Play online - Find a random opponent in seconds, matched by Elo rating - Climb the online leaderboard in Classic and Barrage - Create a private room and invite a Steam friend - Emoji chat, draw offers, and a move timer that keeps games moving Or play on the sofa - Pass and Play lets two players share one screen, hiding each army in turn. Study your games - Replay any finished game move by move, with every piece revealed - Memory aids mark revealed pieces and pieces that have moved, if you want them - Detailed statistics and 25 achievements to earn Your army, your way - Build and save your own starting setups, or let the game deal a random one - Barrage mode: 8 pieces a side for a fast, sharp game - Two piece sets and two rank-numbering styles - An interactive tutorial for new commanders - Leave any game against the AI and resume it later
