What to Expect
You command elite forces like Commandos and SAS in fast-paced night raids during World War II. The game features covert movement with restricted 180-degree vision and hidden enemies that must be detected before attacking. Defenders set patrol routes and use informants to anticipate attackers. The tension arises from balancing stealth, detection, and tactical assaults in a thematic nighttime setting.
Who Is This Game For?
This game targets experienced wargamers and two-player enthusiasts who enjoy tactical, thematic games. With a 90-minute playtime, it requires strategic thinking and patience. It is not a family game but suited for players aged 12 and up familiar with mechanics like Action Points and Hidden Movement.
How It Works
Players use Action Points to manage movements and actions, while a Chit-Pull system randomizes patrols. Attackers move covertly using Measurement Movement, avoiding detection by staying out of 180-degree vision cones. Dice Rolling resolves combat once enemies are spotted. Defenders rely on planning patrols and intercepting transmissions to catch attackers off guard.
What Makes It Special
Graham Davey integrates classic wargame mechanics such as Hidden Movement and Chit-Pull with a detailed WWII night raid scenario. Part of the 02 Hundred Hours series, it stands out by combining stealth, tactical positioning, and realistic line-of-sight mechanics with quick skirmishes involving about 10-20 miniatures per side.
