Description

Up Front is a unique and innovative board game that sets itself apart from other wargames. Designed by Courtney F. Allen and published in 1983, it's a game of man-to-man infantry combat set in WWII Europe. Instead of traditional hexes and charts, the game uses Terrain cards and Action cards to simulate the fear and confusion of the battlefield. This approach allows for a more realistic and immersive experience, with players maneuvering their forces over constantly changing terrain. With a playtime of 60 minutes and normal complexity, Up Front is easily playable and rich in detail. The game is designed for 2 players and features a range of mechanics, including campaign and battle card-driven gameplay, hand management, and relative movement. With its focus on simulation and variable player powers, Up Front offers a realistic and engaging experience that's perfect for fans of WWII-themed games and wargames.
