Day of Battle is a miniatures rule set that allows you to raise and then lead an army of soldiers in the Feudal period. Ground scale is very low at just 5 yards to the inch. Units are usually made up of 3 bases with a unit representing 50 to 100 men. Bases use the English mounting system so there is no need to rebase to try Day of Battle.

The focus of the game is the Warlord. Think of Charleton Heston in the movie of the same name to get the look and feel the game presents.
