Fast-paced WWII turn-based tactics with team-based multiplayer, objective-driven battles, and a built-in map editor to create and share custom battlefields.
War Pawns
SteamWWII turn-based tactics built around fast, dynamic battles, team-based multiplayer, and player-created maps.
In War Pawns, you command forces across compact hex-based battlefields where positioning, timing, and coordination decide the outcome. Flank enemy lines, secure key objectives, and turn small tactical advantages into decisive victories.

Every match is built around tactical pressure and battlefield control. Capture strategic flags, defend critical positions, and push toward enemy headquarters in fast, dynamic battles where every move matters.
Play competitive matches from 1v1 to larger team-based battles, depending on the map. Work with allies, cover vulnerable lanes, support frontline pushes, and break entrenched defenses through coordinated play.
Create custom hex maps with the built-in map editor, then bring them straight into battle. Design new tactical scenarios, experiment with layouts, and share player-made battlefields for long-term replayability.
Take control of a growing roster of units, each with its own tactical role on the battlefield. Use positioning, terrain, and coordinated attacks to outmaneuver your opponents and adapt to changing combat situations.
In addition to multiplayer, War Pawns offers single-player experiences, with further expansions planned during development.
