SOVL is a ruleset for playing fantasy wargames. It can be played with miniatures on a table or digitally on Steam.

Fantasy armies meet on the battlefield and fight until one side is the bloody victor. Units of soldiers maneuver on the table and the outcome of melee combat, volleys of arrows and destructive spells is decided with dice rolls.
Features in the digital version:
Campaign mode: "Trail of Death" is a procedural campaign with roguelite elements. Start with a small warband and develop it into a grand army that can challenge the final boss.
SOVL Army Builder: Create and customize your army for any of the SOVL factions. Choose a Commander to lead, select units and their equipment, and design a color scheme.
AI Battle: Take your custom army and try it out against an AI opponent. Test your unit compositions and optimize your strategies.
Steam Multiplayer: Play games online against others on Steam. Challenge your friends and crush them on the battlefield!
