Five Leagues From the Borderlands - solo wargaming in fantasy style!

March 5, 2026

"Five Leagues From the Borderlands is a set of solo miniatures rules for fantasy campaign games. Taking inspiration from gritty "medieval-fantasy" like The Black Company and Harn, this is a world of brutal combat and ever-present danger. With a handful of miniature figures, your dice and these rules, you can adventure in the war-torn Borderlands, fight tactical battles against evil and hopefully get a few coins in the process. Your characters will advance as you go along, find loot and might even make it to the end. Five Leagues is a descendent of the Five Parsecs series of games, offering a game experience written specifically for Solo Players: That means that all the mechanics you need are built right into the rules, instead of being an afterthought stuffed in the back of the book. We've aimed to make the mechanics simple and straight-forward, to make it easier and quicker to play on your own. And the adventure and encounter tables will do pretty much all the set-up for you."
