Banners for Hire: Turn Based

Your captain is three days in the ground. His company passes to you: five banners, a cart with one good wheel, and a debt nobody will say aloud. Banners for Hire is a turn-based fantasy wargame on a hex map, in the tradition of the classic hex wargames. Take contracts across a realm at war, keep your sellswords paid, and decide which of three powers deserves your banner, if any.
