Armageddon War: Platoon Level Combat in the End War is fresh off Kickstarter fulfillment and hit our table almost instantly. The game is a tactical hex and counter game where players will control various factions in a near future all out war situation in the Middle East. All the major countries are involved, including the United States, Russia, Israel, Jordan as well as many other smaller groups hell bent on each others destruction. The design uses a continuous activation system with chit draw that feels like one constant battle with no breaks.
The production is of the highest quality with beautiful and colorful 1″ counters, large mounted map boards and custom dice to help move the action along. The very interesting part of the design is the use of trapezoidal administrative counters that are placed under units to show their current status but don’t cover up important information such as their attack factors, range or movement rate. Overall, a really good design that was a blast to play. We can’t wait to get it back to the table soon!

Fair enough. I think the game is good and should help to bring a different perspective on the region.

Why not start the turn with markers in place and then remove them once action has taken place.

Looks like a cool game. I know many come to this genre for the historical context, but I love speculative fiction and genre fiction so this appeals to me.

Hey Alexander & Grant, what are your favorite “platoon” level tactical games these days? I find that tactical is probably where it’s at for me. I mention platoon level simply because I’m looking for something a bit bigger than your typical squad level fare. Once you get into operation or strategic, it appears a bit impersonal to me.
