Foxholes & Firepower társasjáték

Angol leírás

Charge into the heart of World War II with Foxholes & Firepower, a standalone ruleset that thrusts you into the boots of a company commander.
Weave together infantry squads darting through smoke, tanks crashing through hedgerows, artillery barrages shaking the earth, and air strikes roaring overhead—all in a sleek system that packs the war’s chaos onto a single, easy-to-read reference sheet. Revel in the thrill of squad-level tactics, where pinning fire locks enemies down, bold assaults seize the moment, and every decision feels like a battlefield gamble, all without wading through complex charts or rules bloat.
Play your way: clash on a hex grid for razor-sharp tactics or go free-form with measurements for fluid, terrain-driven battles. Clear rules for both styles mold to your miniatures, table, and vision.

Key Features

Seamless combined-arms rules: infantry, armor, artillery, and air assaults blend through core mechanics—firepower, armor, morale, and tempo—with pins capturing the chaos of suppression.
Quick, punchy combat: ranged fire, close assaults, and indirect barrages resolve with simple dice pools using standard six-siders, no modifier stacks or sub-steps.
Flexible play: defaults to 4-inch hexes with 15mm figures but adapts to free form play with 6mm–28mm and any basing—your collection, your battlefield.
Asymmetric scenarios: tools for crafting orders of battle, briefings, victory conditions, and battlefield effects like minefields, night, or weather.

Normandy campaign toolkit: rules for Allied air superiority, German attrition, and sample battles, with tips for theaters like the Pacific or Eastern Front.
Extensive unit references: detailed profiles for infantry, vehicles, guns, and specials for major powers (American, British, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Soviet) and minors (Finnish, Hungarian, Slovakian).
One-page quick reference: distills WWII’s tactical depth into a single, at-a-glance sheet for effortless play.

Period Coverage
Cover every WWII theater—Normandy’s bocage, Finland’s frozen woods, North Africa’s sands, the Pacific’s islands, or the Eastern Front’s vast plains.
Build authentic companies with iconic gear: Garand-armed GIs, StG-44-toting Volksgrenadiers, T-34 tanks, or Zero fighters. Dive into lopsided fights where cunning, terrain, and grit decide victory.

Gameplay Basics
Jump into fast, fun battles where every turn crackles with choice—seize initiative to strike first, call in air support, rally pinned squads, plot artillery, or charge into close assaults.
The clever dice system (1-3 scores hits, 4+ busts) powers firefights and morale tests, piling on pins that wear down units and risk breaking them, making every roll a tense gamble. Suppression, flanks, and combined-arms coordination matter, but the rules stay so intuitive that the entire game flows from a single reference sheet.
No fiddly modifiers or endless lookups—just pure, engaging tactics that let you focus on outsmarting your opponent.
