Rearguard scenarios have the player hold out as long as possible against waves of enemy assaults. Escort missions charge the player to move their baggage train across the map whilst defending it from enemy attacks. The ‘Remove the Head’ scenario grants victory to the first side able to kill the opposing army’s general. These provide the player with differing battlefield objectives and victory conditions beyond two forces marching into each other.

The Custom Battles mode also allows the player to select a scenario type. It allows the player to select combatants, individual force sizes and compositions, the size of the map, the number of turns and the style of terrain before facing off on a randomly generated battlefield. On the other end of the spectrum is the Custom Battles mode. Players looking to jump straight into a random battle can hit the ‘Fight Now’ button. The game has a few ways of getting the player onto the digital battlefield.
