A downloadable wargame

Warknave is a fast, efficient skirmish wargame that is powered by a Blackjack initiative system.  

Each turn, players draw two potential Orders (cards) from the deck.  The suit of the cards determines which units they can activate on the battlefield.

High ranks will allow you to activate first . . . but be careful! If you bust, your army will Burnout, losing you an activation.  If you can get 21 exactly, you can reset your burnout to zero, setting up your army to continue the fight.  

Clubs and Diamonds also activate special methods of scoring Victory Points . . . but not just for you, your opponent as well.  Is it worth the risk?

Combat itself is resolved with a simple d6-based system.

This game is in early development. Please share your thoughts!
