Armageddon War (Flying Pig Games) - Introduction & Scenario 2 Playthrough
28The second entry in our series for "Flying Pig February" is the 2018 release "Armageddon War" designed by Greg Porter. This is a platoon-level tactical game set in the "end war" of the near future (2028, so 10 years after the game's release date).
This is a unique system with some very interesting mechanics.
This video is an introduction to the game, and a full playthrough of scenario #2, which is one of the more basic scenarios. The game employs the tried & true method of having the scenarios start basic and adds rules as things progress through the scenarios.
