'A Gentleman's War' is a simple game involving toy soldiers of the classic style. It is a relaxed and relaxing game, where enough depends on the turn of a card and the roll of a handful of dice to say that our disasters are pure chance, but enough cunning decision-making to claim our victories as acts of brilliant generalship. Our model soldiers are very brave, obedient, and generally do what we want them to. Players are expected to behave in a friendly manner, and conduct themselves as gentlemen (or ladies, as is appropriate). There are lots of six-sided dice, saving rolls, proper distances in inches, and a general sense that there ought to be salmon-and-cucumber sandwiches and tea, or beer.

"War is coming? I think not. War has been here, is here, and will continue to be here until such a time that the Gods see fit to rid the World of the Pestilence of so called Intelligent beings. It is within our very nature to covet, desire, and try to obtain those things that belong to our neighbors, be they man or beast. Thus, conflict is inevitable." - Attributed to William of the Legian, Wise Beyond his years. The World of Legian is populated by countless races, with many names that I would not attempt to pronounce. For simplicity's sake, we will refer to all races by the names given to them by men. Legian has been forever at War, and for a very good reason, if one is even necessary. This deserves explanation if only to prepare you for the World you have entered. When the Gods created our World and its Denizens, they also ensured it's, and their destruction. After all, why come back and clean up your mess if you can get someone else to do it. As they left this Realm, they promised two things. One, that they would return at a time suited only to themselves. Two, that the race that proved itself most worthy by the number of souls claimed throughout the Ages, would ascend to the Heavens and live in Paradise among the Gods themselves. They left the 12 Great Abaci to keep track of the score as the bodies began to pile up. Their last act was to create the Legian itself. This very skilled military force was given a Mission. To make sure no one race ever got too far ahead or became too dominant. To this end, the Legian has always found a reason to declare War on the strongest, using politics and espionage to hide the real reason. The ranks of the Legian believe their mission is to defend the weak. Only the 3 High Marshalls know the truth. That the members of the Legian, and only them, will ascend to live among the Gods.
