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 GBP RRP (approximately $91.66 USD).

- Full colour Halo: Ground Command Rulebook
- Statistics and reference sheets for UNSC and Covenant forces
- 20 Custom Dice and 6 Halo Command Dice
- Damage, Activation and Cooldown Game Tokens

I'm curious about which vehicles the game will have

there's a list of the contents of the first two boxes on the pre-order section of the Spartan Store right now!

Thanks Covert Walrus, below is what they posted:

UNSC 1,000 Point Battle Force – including 1x Officer, 1x Medic, 1x Radio Operator, 2x Snipers, 2x Spotters, 2x 2-man HMG Teams, 2x 2-man Missile Teams, 27x Troopers, 2x Warthogs (Gatling, Gauss and Rocket Weapons for each) and a 1x Spartan.

· Covenant 1,000 Point Battle Force – including 1x Elite Ultra, 2x Elite Minor, 3x Elite Majors, 6x Grunts with Fuel Rods, 24x Grunt Minors, 3x Ghosts with Grunt Operator and 2x Hunters.

Looking forward to seeing the initial models at Salute next week to see how compatible they will be with my existing 15mm Sci-Fi.

I'm curious and quite keen to have a look, shame I'm misisng Salute!

I'd like to see the Pelican and those twin rotored transports… but the rest is not likely to be of use to me so I am not that interested.

If they were 28mm, then I'd be interested but I think that the type of game dictates a smaller scale so I think 15mm was probably the right way to go.

I am hoping that the two fliers I mentioned will be convertible for my Space Dwarfs… I've always wanted a Pelican Dropship :)
