Your platoon has clawed its way forward under heavy fire---but can they make it the last few yards and kick the enemy off the hill?
Find out with a Sergeant’s War, a WWII minatures game which emphasizes morale, unit quality, and small-unit leaders. A typical force is a platoon of infantry backed up with heavy weapons and armor. Units of maneuver are individual vehicles, squads and half-squads of infantry, and heavy weapon teams. Major features of the game include:
Fast play — 2 hours or less
Easy combat mechanics — infantry fire, anti-tank fire, and close-range firefights all use the same basic to-hit mechanic which compares relative unit quality
Importance of leaders — your squad and platoon leaders are critical to keep your force fighting, but every time they do something significant, they might get hit by enemy fire
Solo-friendly
Emphasis on units over individuals — players focus on the placement of squads, tanks, and heavy weapons, not individual riflemen
Can be played with any scale of miniatures and any type of basing
