Enemy Action: Ardennes

Dalla Compass Games avremo un nuovo lavoro di Butterfield (Ambush!, RAF, D-Day at Omaha Beach). Uscirà Summer 2013 dicono, ma non ci metterei la mano sul fuoco: è stato rimandato già più volte. Regolamento non disponibile so far, ma c'è un aar su cosimworld.

​

Enemy Action delivers fun, tense wargaming with a focus on command and capabilities:
- Two-player competition with low complexity and constant decision points for both sides;
- Solitaire play of either side with an innovative system governing enemy command and tactics;
- Card-driven impulse system, with multi-purpose cards that can be played to activate formations, implement command events, or gain tactical advantages in combat.
- Diceless and chartless combat system – players draw combat chits that build a narrative of each combat.

​

EA: Ardennes portrays the German offensive against the western Allies in December 1944 -- the Battle of the Bulge. Each player controls the German or Allied (US and British) side. If playing solo, the game system controls the other side.
- Map scale: 2.5 miles per hex. Hexes are oversized for easy counter handling.
- Unit Scale: Regiments, brigades and divisions
- Time scale: One day per turn, with several impulses in each turn.

​

​

Preliminary components for EA: Ardennes –
- Three maps, each portraying the entire Ardennes battlefield -- one for the 2-player game, one for Allied solo play, one for German solo.
- 110 cards
- 504 .65” counters
- Several player aid cards
- Three rules books – one for each game.

 

Premesso che non ce la faccio più a sostenere un nuovo gioco sulle ardenne (a parte Wacht am rhein 2 credo di aver giocato tutti i più importanti) questo tuttavia sembra interessante

 

Come volevasi dimostrare l'uscita è stata ritardata al Q1 2014...
