Nomads Unbound Battlegrounds
Alpha 0.12 — Free to Play

THE FIGHTING GAME
OF MINIATURE WARGAMING

Two players. Five miniatures each. A ticking clock between them.
The only tabletop wargame where your reflexes matter as much as your strategy.

Minutes Per Match

Forget measuring tapes. Forget waiting twenty minutes for your opponent's turn. Battlegrounds is a real-time tabletop wargame where an app controls initiative, tracks damage, and runs the AI — while you command the battlefield with whatever miniatures you already own. The clock is always ticking. Every second is a decision.

Why This Hits Different

Built for Speed. Designed for Depth.

Real-Time Combat

No turns. No waiting. The app assigns initiative, tracks time, and forces decisions under pressure. When your time runs out, control shifts instantly. Think fast or lose ground.

No Rulers. No Measuring.

The battlefield is divided into 16 zones. Movement, range, and positioning are resolved by area — not by arguing over half-inches with a tape measure. Clean, fast, zero ambiguity.

Any Miniatures. Any Setting.

The multiverse of Nomads Unbound spans infinite realities. Sci-fi soldiers, medieval knights, cosmic horrors — use whatever you own. Any mini. Any terrain. It's all canon.

🎮

App-Driven, Not App-Dependent

The app handles Life, Armor, status effects, and AI behavior. But if you prefer dice and tokens, a complete Analog Mode lets you play without any screen at all.

👤

Solo Mode With Real AI

Five AI classes — Warrior, Hunter, Brute, Healer, Tactician — each with distinct targeting priorities and behavior. Face Boss Battles with multi-phase Stance mechanics that feel like a raid boss on your table.

Build Your Warband, Your Way

125 points. Up to five characters. Actions, Perks, and Tactical Support cards let you craft melee brawlers, ranged snipers, support healers, or poisonous area-denial specialists. The meta is yours to break.

JOIN THE WARBAND

Battlegrounds is being built in the open. The Discord is where playtests happen, rules get debated, bugs get squashed, and new content drops land first.

If you're playing the alpha, this is where your people are.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING

The rules are free. The app is free. The only thing standing between you and the battlefield is the decision to start.
