What is Kings of War?

Kings of War is Mantic Games's mass-battle fantasy miniature wargame, launched in 2010 and designed by Alessio Cavatore (former lead of Warhammer Fantasy). Its distinctive feature: units are single trays of models with cumulative wounds — no removing individual models mid-game. This makes the game vastly faster than its rivals while retaining tactical richness. Popular tournament game and free rules downloads have grown its player base fast.
