Second Escape Games is the team behind Second Escape. The game was originally launched in 2012 as "Iron Cross". This updated version of the game is now known as "Second Escape".
No Easy Ground is a fast, brutal WWII tabletop wargame that puts tactics, suppression, and close‑range decision‑making at the heart of every battle. Designed for quick turns and intense firefights, it captures the chaos of infantry combat and the shock of armour clashes without slowing play. Every action matters: movement is dangerous, fire is deadly, and the ground you hold—or fail to take—shapes the fight.
Built for any scale of miniatures, the system focuses on clarity, momentum, and cinematic battlefield moments. Whether you’re storming a village, holding a treeline, or pushing armour through rubble‑choked streets, the rules reward bold choices and smart positioning.
Follow for scenarios, rules updates, design insights, and behind‑the‑scenes development as No Easy Ground grows into a complete WWII skirmish experience.
