About

Hex Tactical War

Features
Read full description

Hex Tactical War is a quick hex-grid conquest game where every move resolves at the same time. Plan your attacks, end the turn, and find out if your plan held. You start with a castle and a handful of units. Tap a tile and send troops to a neighbor, or drag one tile onto another. Set up supply routes that feed the front every turn. When you press End Turn, your orders and the enemy's orders resolve together: armies clash, tiles change hands, and every owned tile grows. Capture an enemy castle and that faction falls. Lose yours and the battle is over. Combat has no dice. The bigger effective army wins and keeps what is left, so every attack is a calculation you can make before you commit. FEATURES • Three modes: Easy, Medium and Hard maps with 1 to 3 enemy factions • A new random battlefield every time you play • Painted terrain tiles: forests, mountains, lakes, villages and ruins • Special tiles: crystals that speed up growth, forts that defend, war camps that strike harder • Supply routes and "send all" orders that repeat each turn • Your battle is saved, so you can pick it up where you left off • Quick matches of 5 to 20 minutes • Free to play, with one purchase to remove ads
