EnGarde: The Battle for the Tron

Tabletop Wargame Expansion for the EnGarde Universe

Overview
EnGarde: The Battle for the Tron is a strategic, narrative-driven tabletop wargame set in the war-torn lands of the Old World of EnGarde, where noble houses, exiled factions, and dark conspiracies vie for dominance. Built as a large-scale battle module for the EnGarde de la Rosa pen & paper RPG and integrated with the EnGarde: Winter Strom CCG, this game allows players to control full armies rather than individual characters, engaging in sweeping wars that change the shape of the campaign world itself.

The Setting
The game is set in the Old World, a shattered continent of fallen empires and fractured alliances. The central battleground is the Tron, a critical land bridge rich in resources and relics of a forgotten age. Armies wage war not just for territory, but for influence, honor, and ancient secrets. Every clash here leaves a mark on the ongoing saga.

Gameplay Structure

• Players command customized armies representing various factions from the EnGarde setting: noble houses, rogue mercenaries, cult forces, wild tribes, or imperial legions.

• Armies follow rules of battle derived from the EnGarde de la Rosa core mechanics, adapted to large-scale skirmishes.

• The game emphasizes resource control, battlefield tactics, morale, and narrative events that trigger based on dice rolls or campaign choices.

Dynamic Narrative Integration
A standout feature of Battle for the Tron is its living world system:

• After each battle, players submit the results and narrative summaries to the official campaign website.

• The website updates in real time, showing land ownership, troop movements, and evolving storylines shaped directly by players’ victories, losses, and choices.

• This persistent world allows armies to gain legacy upgrades, establish legendary status, and even suffer permanent defeats that affect the global lore.

Connection with EnGarde Universe

• The game builds on characters and lore from the EnGarde de la Rosa RPG. NPCs, relics, and major events from the RPG can be referenced or even introduced into battle scenarios.

• Integration with EnGarde: Winter Strom allows players to draft commander cards from their CCG decks, adding heroic abilities or spell events to their forces during battles.

Key Features

• Modular hex-grid battle maps for terrain variety.

• Army construction based on points system and faction doctrines.

• Real-time campaign world visible online with weekly lore updates.

• Events from battles can influence RPG campaigns or trigger new CCG card releases.

• Optional GM-driven scenario packs for narrative-rich campaigns.

The War is in Your Hands
Each army leaves its mark on the Old World. A ruined city could become a capital. A lost battle could echo through generations. Every sword swing, every siege, every betrayal – it all goes into the grand archive of the Tron. As your battles rage, history writes itself.
