How It Plays

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Events

Random events shake things up during the game — sometimes helpful, sometimes chaotic, always interesting.

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Hexagon Grid

The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Movement Points

You get a set number of movement points to spend on moving your pieces — plan your path carefully.

Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game

You play through linked missions or scenarios that build on each other — it's like an epic adventure in chapters.

The thirty-six page rulebook is presented in programmed instruction format (as introduced in Squad Leader) to introduce its twelve new scenarios. There are two new 8" X 22" mapboards, and over 1200 counters.…
