An asymmetric hex wargame about occupation and insurgency. Command the alien Verkhan Empire pacifying a human world — or the fractured Sons of Earth fighting to reclaim it.

<h2 class="bb_tag" >About This Game</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Terra has gone silent. The Verkhan Empire rules from orbit. The resistance fights from the rubble.</strong></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><i>The Sons of Earth</i> is a turn-based hex wargame of occupation and insurgency set on the distant frontier world Kharkhan. You command one of two factions locked in a war neither side can win on the other's terms.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >The <strong>Verkhan Empire</strong> came from the stars with superior technology, rigid doctrine, and the discipline of a professional military machine. The <strong>Sons of Earth</strong> have none of that. What they have is their world — its cities, its forests, its people, its memory — and an absolute refusal to let it go.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >⬢ A WAR OF TWO VERY DIFFERENT WARS</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Play Verkhan, and you are an occupier. Your units are stronger, your doctrine is sharper, your technology is a generation ahead. But every village you enter is hostile. Every forest hides something. Every civilian could be a fighter. Pacification is slow, grinding, and politically expensive.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >Play the Sons of Earth, and you are outgunned in every engagement. You cannot win a fair fight — so you refuse to have one. You vanish into the population. You strike from terrain the enemy hates. You trade ground for time, and time for opportunity</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >⬢ SLOW, DELIBERATE, UNFORGIVING</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >This is not a game of fast clicks and flashy combos. It is a game of <strong>commitment</strong> — where a single brilliant maneuver can undo hours of careful positioning, and a single broken unit can cascade into total rout. Fights are decided by morale, suppression, and nerve as often as by damage. A company that panics is as lost as one that dies.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >Take your time. Every turn matters.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >⬢ FOG OF WAR AS A PILLAR, NOT A MODIFIER</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >What you can't see, you can't kill. Information is the currency of this war. Insurgents blend into civilians. Scouts, drones, and recon reveal or conceal entire swaths of the battlefield. The player who wins the information war is usually the player who wins the engagement before it starts.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >⬢ THE DRONE, THE MISSILE, THE TRENCH</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Modern war is fought at distance and from depth. Drones hunt for coordinates. Missiles and artillery answer from beyond the horizon, grinding positions into dust long before infantry meet. The only defense is to never be where the enemy thinks you are — or to <strong>make a place the enemy cannot take.</strong> Dig in over turns. Harden positions. Link tunnels and fallback trenches until a single hill becomes a problem that consumes an entire offensive. A prepared defense doesn't just absorb damage — it reshapes the whole map. Every strike you call and every position you fortify is a commitment: a decision about where this war is going to happen.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >WHO IS THIS GAME FOR?</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Players who want a wargame where <strong>you have to think, not click fast.</strong> If you love the slow burn and longer missions in wargames, it's for you!</p>
