GUIDED BATTLE SETUP Choose your battle size, muster your armies, select your mission, set up the battlefield, select fixed or tactical secondary missions, deploy your units, determine who will go first, and even remember to resolve your pre-battle abilities! Then hit that start button to begin the fight for glory! PHASE BY PHASE CONTROL Step through the phases of each player's turn as intended by the rules and objectives. Your CP each turn is automatically added so you'll never forget, score primary and secondary objective points at the correct times, get prompted to select secret missions, and more! VICTORY POINT SCORING Simply tap to score points for primary and secondary missions at the correct time. See your overall score and progress for each mission during the battle, and know when you've hit the limit! COMMAND POINT AND STRATAGEM USAGE Automatically gain your CP at the start of your turn, check how many CP you have, see the specific stratagems available to you for the current phase, and simply click a button to activate them and spend your CP. Per-phase limits stop you accidentally using a stratagem twice (we're looking at you, Command Re-roll!). CONNECT WITH FRIENDS Connect with your friends to start a battle that's linked to each of your accounts, see overall stats of your battle history with each friend, and see your friends' battles against other players through our updates feed. BATTLE EVENT LOGS See exactly when that stratagem was used, review the points that were scored, confirm you actually did get your additional CP at the start of your turn (until you realise BattleBase doesn't make mistakes and you stop checking), and more! A HISTORY OF ALL YOUR BATTLES See the full history of your previous battles against your friends, including names, scores, and events. SHARED EXPERIENCE Enable both players to easily access information about the state of the battle, including the primary objective, each player's selected secondary objectives, victory and command points, and stratagems available to their opponent. MULTI-DEVICE SUPPORT The ultimate large screen shared experience via a large screen next to your gaming table. Don't have a large screen? Each player can control the battle using their smartphone. Or for the ultimate experience, use phones or tablets alongside your large screen. BattleBase will keep them all in sync. DICE ROLLER Quickly roll those 100 attacks, rerolling the 1s or all fails, and with exploding sixes! CHESS TIMER Train for that tournament, or just ensure you and your friend can get through that game before your better half threatens to leave you... again! ...and much more!
