League and Empire: the flagship 'casual' game of the company, LnE is a strategic-level board game set during the Second Great War. It was first produced in 1987, with a remake with updated sculpts, rules and graphics in 2005. In 2027, FHG announced a Third Edition, which was released in 2031. In the game, players take turns producing units such as tanks and ships, capturing territories, and attempting to knock opposing nations out of the war to win. The original game included the Holy Levantine Empire, Faneria, Aciria, and Caphiria as factions; the Second Edition made Fiannria and Cartadania separate player countries and added a 'neutral minor nations' mechanic, while the 2031 release includes a separate Burgundie, with the remaining HLE regions rebranded as Urcea and all countries receiving roughly-historical unique molds for each unit type.

Form Square!: Form Square! is an early gunpowder and napoleonic-era model-centric wargame with a heavy emphasis on medium-unit tactics. Battles take place with between 200-3000 soldiers with a 1:1 representation at a 1:72 scale and often take up to four hours. The game has ranges for Early, Middle, and Early Industrial Royal Fhainnin armies, the Royal Army of Culriocha, Middle era HLE units of mixed nationality, Culfran and early Fiannrian Confederate armies, and smaller armies for Imperial Caphiria and Burgundine cohorts. The game also has an outdated South Cronan colonial range in pewter, as well as rules for off-brand armies representing Aciria, Kiravia, and Kloistan.

Dawn War: Dawn War is a hex-and-counter-based wargame planned for release in 2029 about the Final War of the Deluge. Covering northern Crona, the game accounts for units down to the brigade level and features a complex and optional weather system, as well as a unique missile system to account for the physical limits of hex wargame counters. The game is planned to release with a digital copy for online play to increase playability, minimize setup when desired, and handle some game mechanics automatically.
