Description
Battle: The Game of Strategy is a classic wargame that's easy to learn and fun to play. Designed by S. Craig Taylor and first published in 1979, it's a great introduction to the world of wargaming. The game is designed for 2 players and takes about 45 minutes to play, making it a quick and intense experience. The goal is simple: eliminate your opponent's HQ unit to win the game. The game's unique twist is its ability to simulate different eras of warfare, from the American Civil War to modern times. The counters use standard NATO insignia and have different values and abilities depending on the era being played. The game board is set up with mirror-image terrain overlays, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game. With its simple rules and variable setup, Battle: The Game of Strategy is a great way to experience the thrill of wargaming without getting bogged down in complex rules.
