Halo: Ground Command Now Shipping
You read that right… the day that Halo fans have been waiting for is here!
The folks at Spartan have been putting a lot of work into Ground Command – to make sure the tactical first-person-shooter feel you get in the Halo video games and the strategic real-time-strategy feel of Halo Wars come across in the table top experience. Spartan gave us an in depth look at at the game not too long ago. There is a lot to take in, but here’s a quick summary:
- Forces are made up of Battle Groups, which can be of varying types: UNSC Mechanised Battle Groups, Hunting Host Battle Groups, Armoured Battle Groups, and so on.
- Inside each Battle Group are Requisite Units that must be taken, then Build Rating limits are set to allow players to add in Optional Units later.
- Forces can (and should!) be made up of multiple Battle Groups.
- In narrative play, all Forces should be chosen after the Scenario is determined, allowing players to tailor their lists to fight out the mission.
- Terrain is placed by mutual consent and is designed for simple use and quick gameplay. There is a table generator included if mutual consent proves difficult.
- In Halo: Ground Command players have access to Generic Force Commanders that cost considerably less than narrative named Commanders. These Generic Force Commanders have Standard Orders and a Factional Order. They are the only Commander available in competitive play.
