Spartan Games - HALO Ground Command Preview

Spartan Games published new details about the Halo Ground Command game:

Halo: Ground Command gives the gamer the tools to play out epic battles on Reach between stalwart soldiers of the UNSC and the merciless legions of the alien Covenant. Cities will fall, heroes will rise, and destiny will be forged in battles planned, directed, and implemented on the tabletop. From massive tank engagements at Szurdok Ridge to small groups of Spartans deployed in defense of New Alexandria, the players are in control, making life and death decisions as a UNSC commander charged with the safety of this critical planet. Or taking the role of an alien invader, leading the Covenant invasion force as a field marshal ordered to exterminate humanity, at any cost.
The Covenant are on Reach. Troops await their orders.
Using highly detailed 1/100th scale figures and vehicles, the game features powerful, yet easy-to-master game mechanics, and has been created to bring the atmosphere of the Halo video games to wargaming tabletops around the world.The Battle for Reach 2-player starter box is available for pre-order now, and will be shipping later this summer, for £65.00 RRP (approximately $91.66).
