Angol leírás

Armoured Strike is a set of miniature wargame rules for playing cold war and modern, combined arms land battles. The rules are designed to cover the period from the advent of the guided missile in the 1950s to the advent of the fully digital modern battlefield, around the year 2000.
In most games players will command a battlegroup comprising of a number of companies or battalions and games last a couple of hours and can be played on a 4 foot by 6-foot table using 1/300 scale miniatures.
The rulebook includes all the rules needed to play as well as army lists for the major nations fighting a fictional third world war during the 1980s.
Additional army lists will be made available on the publisher website.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
SEQUENCE OF PLAY

Various sequences and methods of unit activation were considered however it was decided to go back to the classic “I go, you go” sequence as this provides a good way of making the chaos of battle manageable, especially for large numbers of units. The addition of an overwatch system however means that during a players turn, their opponent is not stood idle.

TROOP QUALITY
The quality (training and morale) of troops has been heavily simplified to a single dice roll at the end of each turn for any units that have come under fire and been suppressed. This determines if they fall back, continue fighting or give up, surrendering or leaving the battle area. Although simple this means that even if units are not killed or destroyed, they can as in real life still be put out of the battle.

GROUND SCALE
The approximate ground scale of 1” =50 metres was chosen as it would allow for realistic weapon ranges to be depicted on a reasonable sized table while still allowing for emphasis on manoeuvre and positioning of units.
