Description
Fighting Formations is intended to be an ongoing series of wargames covering WWII tactical combined-arms combat at the platoon and squad levels. Each game in the series will feature a distinct combat unit, highlighting battles in which that unit participated as well as its particular order of battle and fighting characteristics. In this second volume of Fighting Formations, GMT features the US 29th Infantry Division-"Blue and Gray"-as it fought from just after D-Day in June of 1944 to the end of the year.
In each scenario, one player will take command of elements of the featured unit while the other assumes control of the opposing forces. These two players will alternate giving orders, activating their units on the map for various military functions. Players attempt to achieve victory by moving their combat units across the game map to attack their opponent's units and to achieve as many scenario objectives as possible. The degree to which a player succeeds or fails is measured by a scenario's specific victory conditions-be it the destruction of enemy units, the taking of vital mapboard objectives, or the exiting of friendly units off the opponent's map edge.
