silence. And then there was laughter and applause.

Mark Karcic laughed and patted his sister on the shoulder.

“Oh, Mina, I’m sorry. Did you startle me?”

“Of course I was surprised! I thought my liver was failing.

I didn’t know that even though you were married, you still enjoyed such childish pranks.”

“No, before that.”

I touched my throbbing head.

I don’t mind a duel. An important thing is-

“Where on earth did you get all those models?”

The eyes of gamers and spectators were all focused on Mark’s display.

Mark looked at the chairman as if he was embarrassed.

“Her Highness the Crown Princess, didn’t you tell me?”

“…Chairman?”

The Crown Princess raised both hands with an expression of apology.

“To get the nobility’s understanding, I sent sample models to schools, saying that this type of game would be popular.

But suddenly Duke Karsic said it was difficult to judge with this and asked us to send more.

So I ordered the workshop and sent more. But they said that wasn’t enough and kept requesting…”

So in a word…

“Are you saying that you got paid as a model through the back without even paying?

Subtly threatening that if you make a mistake, you won’t be granted permission?”

Mark Karcic must have sensed that something strange was going on in the atmosphere, and he waved his hand urgently.

“Hmm. I think there’s a huge misunderstanding, but I’m just so in love with Coleman’s genius game design-”

“In that case, there will be 10 crew members…”

“There are a lot of people here who can’t get a crew because they are out of stock…”

Gamers muttered and complained, but they could not openly attack the duke’s eldest son.

While Mark was sweating profusely, Mina Karcic came out to the center of the auditorium.

With that same mischievous smile that her brother had, she exclaimed:

“Woo! Garbage!”

“Woo! Garbage!”

“Hoarders die!”

“Hoarders die!”

The audience sings along to Mina’s melody.

“No, why am I a hoarder? I don’t even have to pay-”

“Buy it at full price!”

“Buy it at full price!”

The chairman spoke kindly to Mark, who was in trouble.

“Mark Karcic. We will also place requirements on this duel.

If Coleman wins, you must hand over all the models you have ill-gotten so far.”

“All models!”

He jumped up.

“Her Highness the Crown Princess, that is too much!

How long does it take to paint all this-”

However, after looking at the burning eyes of the spectators, he changed his mind.

“Well… then it’s about one dormitory…”

“Really? Then do it. Coleman?”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“Take it easy.”

If you lose, you have to dance and sing in front of the entire school.

Neither in my past life nor now, I have any talent in music.

With motivation clear, I began to carefully organize my crew.

“I chose the student council crew.

This is President Lilac, Vice President Tangaroa, Hwayoung, and two second-year student council leaders.”

“I am the Black Swan crew.”

“Yes?”

Mina looked at her brother with surprised eyes.

“Brother, you are a graduate of Red Horse!”

“Originally, I was going to use red horse. But…”

“But?”

“Mina. I played the game several times at home…”

Mark told the forbidden truth.

“Red horses… are weak…”

“Brother…”

He looked at his sister with tearful eyes.

“If it had been a friendly game, I would have worn a red horse too.

But if I lose here… if I lose here… the models I painted all night will fly away…

I… I don’t want to lose!”

I looked at Mark’s roster.

Alicia. He is a composite wizard who uses dream magic, a composite magic of the moon and grass. This is a senior I met last time.

Kazuki. He is a 4th year martial artist who was a student studying abroad in the Far East and has excellent close combat skills.

4th year international student. The species is an ogre and the magical attribute is a beast.

2nd grade in the craft club, a 5 model unit.

Two units for second-year apprentices. An apprentice is a support model who selects a senior and assists the senior in casting magic.

There are a total of 6 units and 10 models. It’s a small elite army.

I could easily guess the other person’s winning plan.

Kazuki and the Ogre students are in charge of close combat, and Alicia casts dream magic with the help of her apprentices.

“The reference table is here.”

“It’s okay. Because I know everything.”

“As expected, this is a developer.”

Mark nodded.

And without even saying anything, he raised his hand and declared.

“I don’t need a reference table either.

Thanks to the models sent by Her Majesty the Crown Princess, I worked hard enough to memorize the abilities of the units.”

“Who did you do it with? You definitely weren’t playing alone, right?”

In response to his sister’s question, he shrugged his shoulders and said.

“I did it with Olivia.”

“You did this with your new sister?”

“Because I have a lot of time left during the day after being discharged.”

“What about at night?”

“At night… hmm.”

Mark waved his hand and changed the subject.

“Anyway! Let’s start the game.”

“Do you want it to be an annihilation war or a conquest war?”

“Wouldn’t an occupation war be better? Looking at the rule book, it looks like a lot of effort was put into that part.”

You are right. Ignoringly competing to see who can kill the most people is like an introductory game for beginners.

The flower of miniature games is the regular game where points are competed for points.

The simplest of them is the occupation war.

Before occupation

Place the goal token in the exact center of the table, and place two more goal tokens 30cm apart from east to west.

Units with models in contact with an objective can capture it as a Operational Action.

However, targets that the opponent’s model is touching cannot be captured.

From round 2 onwards, the scoring board at the end of the round will check:

If you capture more objectives than your opponent captures, you get 1 victory point.

If you capture all three objectives, you earn 1 victory point.

“Let’s put the table here.”

The table I pointed to was one with a small lake in the center.

An idyllic battlefield with large rocks, bushes, and paths instead of buildings like warehouses or towers.

The two of us carefully took out the models.

After the placement was over, I tried to roll the dice to decide who would go first, but Mark raised his hand to stop me.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to decide before starting a brawl?”

“Which one?”

“How did the student council and the dark horse dormitory end up fighting?

What do these goal tokens mean and stuff like that.

My wife creates such a backstory every time she plays a game, and she gets much more immersed in it.”

I smiled and nodded.

Your wife knows how to play games.

Clearly, creating a backstory is an important attractive element of miniature games.

What does this battle mean, and under what circumstances did my army come to the battlefield?

If you decide on those things and play the game, you will remember them well and it will be easy to develop affection for the models.

“It’s a forest with a lake and a path, so there’s no fighting inside the school.”

“Uh! Come to think of it, isn’t this trail the way from the warehouse to the dormitory?”

Everyone nodded to Mina’s point.

“When I think about it, that’s right. Although it’s a little different, there are rocks that look like that on that road…”

“So you’re fighting while trying to eat the rust?”

“Not bad.”

The Crown Princess, who was watching, said she liked it.

“The Black Swan Dormitory entered the warehouse and stole the roll cake.

In my rush, I dropped the wooden box containing the roll cake.

We are fighting over three boxes with our student council who came running after hearing the news.”

Isn’t that a very cheap background setting?

But the audience seemed to think differently.

“Roll cake is acceptable.”

“I once got hit and broke my nose while trying to eat another roll cake.”

“Is that so? There was a time when I was fighting over the last remaining roll cake and beat my opponent with an iron club…”

right. It was a school like this…

Mark smiled happily and picked up the dice with his left hand.

“Good. Sweet roll cake competition! Now let’s decide who goes first and who follows.”

“7.”

“3. I have the power to decide. I will do it later.”

hmm. You have quite a bit of skill.

In the Romantic Age, the second player has the advantage on the first turn.

This is because you can check the opponent’s movements and then move accordingly.

In subsequent turns, it is important to move first and cut off the opponent, so everyone goes first.

I quickly looked around the table.

The areas to focus on are as follows: A small island on the central lake, with bridges to the north and south leading to the island.

The western side of the trail connecting the bridge is mainly composed of bushes, and on the eastern side, there are several rocks that block the diagonal line and restrict movement.

In other words, the center, west, and east are all very prone to traffic congestion.

I boldly placed the chairman, vice-chairman, and Hwayoung in the center, and divided the two leading units into the west and east.

On the other hand, Mark assigned the western bushland to the duke club, the center to Alicia and the apprentice unit, and the east to the close combat combination of Ogre and Kazuki.

“Promotion of the magic corps.”

“Activating the abilities of the apprentice unit. Assistant!”

Sidekick – When starting a magic unit, select a unit within 6cm of the same or higher grade as you.

Sets one of the target unit’s magic dice as this unit’s attribute mana.

“Both apprentice units are 2nd grade, so they can fix Alicia’s mana!

One is grass and the other is moon, so I will fix Alicia’s mana!”

Fortunately, Alicia’s other two dice were bad. In other words, he avoided situations where he used his special move right from the start.

The rest of the people also rolled the magic dice, and the results were okay.

A situation where every wizard has one or two magnetic attribute dice,

I raised my finger and pointed to the Crown Princess’ model.

“The first model to take a turn is the Chairman. 12cm walk!”
