Refight the East Front's Greatest Battles with Maelstrom!
Flying Pig Games Announces New Tactical Gaming System, Old School Tactical
December 16, 2014. Maelstrom is the first in a dynamic series of fresh, tactical wargames using Flying Pig's Old School Tactical game system. Maelstrom simulates, through an easily-learned game system, small-unit engagements on the Eastern Front during 1941-42.
"I'm thrilled to publish Maelstrom," stated Mark H. Walker, owner of Flying Pig Games. "I'm a long-time aficionado of tactical games, and Maelstrom, with its unique impulse system, beautiful presentation, and easily accessible rules, is one of the best I've played."
In Maelstrom, two players contest each scenario using counters representing the soldiers, guns and vehicles that fought these desperate battles between 1941-42. On each turn, play goes back and forth between the sides as Impulse Points are spent to enable a player's forces to act. When the battle is over, casualty and victory points are tallied and a victor is declared. Simple, direct, fun.
