Battle across the land, air, and sea with the new Warlord Games Combined Arms Board Game that is hitting shelves soon!
If you love their other offerings, then this is going to be right up your alley! The game combines all the cool mechanics of their games into one awesome board game with detailed minis, interesting rules, and really cool campaigns!
There are five objectives in the game you maneuver your troops around, and the first person to hold all five wins the game! On top of that, there are cards to change the flow of the game and four different maps you can play on, so it looks like it will be quite in-depth! Let’s take a closer look.
Warlord Games Combined Arms Board Game Coming Soon!
With the game coming soon, they gave us a lot to look forward to! Here’s a little about how the gameplay will work:
Whilst Combined Arms can be played and enjoyed as a stand-alone game, it is intended to allow players to incorporate Bolt Action, Blood Red Skies, Cruel Seas, or Victory at Sea for an epic continent-spanning wargaming campaign. The system is modular, simply requiring that you sub out certain Initiative cards from the game for those that pertain to your chosen game systems. These unique cards link your campaign inextricably with your wargames, meaning your choices in the campaign could mean victory or defeat on the tabletop.
What Comes in the Box
- Combined Arms includes finely detailed plastic miniatures featuring five different objectives as well as unit markers that represent Army (Infantry and Armour), Naval, and Aircraft units (brown for Allies, green for Axis) as well as Blitz markers to represent fast moving units. The objectives also come in brown and green to represent captured objectives, with grey objectives representing those yet to be captured.
- The game also employs counters to represent orders, scouts and concealed units.
Multiple Maps to Play
Four maps are included to test your mettle and strategic command of land, air and sea. Each theatre has its own challenges and opportunities, some rewarding control over the sea, some rewarding control over the skies. How many of your precious resources will you sink into each, and how much will be left to control the land? Will you rely on stealth as you move units secretly, springing up where you are least suspected, or will you attempt to overwhelm your enemy with brutal overkill?
That does it for this one, now go pre-order your own copy!
