About
Seize the Table is a real-time combined-arms wargame that runs in your browser. Each side has one General. You command from the Map Table in your Main Command Post, or stand up and lead from the field. Kills score nothing: you win by taking ground and capturing the enemy's headquarters.
Play two players over the internet (one hosts, the other joins with a code), or one player against the computer at Easy, Normal or Hard.
