Battle Brothers (2017)

A shield line, a spear's reach and a patch of higher ground can decide whether your mercenaries hold together or become surrounded. Engagement zones and fatigue make withdrawing or extending a formation consequential. Choose it for terrain-led melee tactics connected to a demanding company-management campaign. Chance, equipment, injuries and permanent deaths remain central, so sound positioning improves your odds rather than guaranteeing a clean battle; knowing which contract to avoid is also a tactical skill.
