Came across the Bunnies and Burrows ttrpg, and it made me wonder if there was a wargame equivalent. I mean, the Warriors series is still super popular, sk there’s gotta be a cat-bases wargame somewhere!

      A wargame isn’t any game that features war as a theme, it’s a very specific genre of game where you move units around on a map simulating actual battles or wars. Think Warhammer as the most well-known example.

        Yeah, I’m specifically looking for a thing that will give me lots of minis I can paint with my fiancee, who isnt interested in faceless military dudes or ugly monsters or mechs but is perfectly down with role-playing realistic war in her D&D campaigns. Something in the vein of Watership Down or the Warriors series would be perfect.

          If the minis are what you’re after, surely there are some cute animal minis for RPGs you could paint?

            We have a bunch of guinea pig warriors sitting around somewhere. Never got to use them. Its different when the whole game is built around the minis

              Ah, so you want something you can paint with your fiancee but then also actually play? In my previous comment I was assuming the painting & collecting were all you were after.

                Yeah, we are both D&D nerds, but role-playing doesnt actually require minis tbh. The game takes place almost entirely within dialogue between you and the DM, everything else is there to facilitate that.
