BATTLEFRONT
Battlefront is an all-new wargame system that simulates battalion-scale
combat in the largest cauldron of war humanity has known: World War II.
Battlefront features the power of battalion-level combat in some of this
period's most bloody and intense conflicts: Saipan, Market Garden, Novorossisk,
and Gazala. Players have have realistic control over their soldiers, with
a tactical scale just large enough to make a telling difference in the
strategic picture.
While the Battlefront system shares a design philosophy with the award-winning
Decisive Battles series, it is actually an new system specifically designed
for battalion-level combat. This level of play gives the player a chance
to experience true issues of command, control, sighting, and supply at
a level that emphasizes plenty of tough but enjoyable decisions to make.
The combat system provides new and varied ways to damage your opponent,
with provisions for direct and indirect fire, air strikes, and special,
historically-accurate combat modes (such as Japanese Banzai attacks).
Players have full control over the off-map movement of their units; players
can move units in special off-map areas, getting realistic control over
where and when to employ their reinforcements. Opponents will never be
entirely sure where and when these units will arrive, increasing the tension
and fun.
