The Face of Battle 2nd edition skirmish miniatures game simulates the action that occurs during the peak of battle. The moments of sheer terror, panic, bravery, and intense combat. The game is dynamic, fun and exciting to play. Each player commands their forces with numerous combat, tactical and game options. For squad- to platoon-level games.
All players participate in the battle concurrently using card decks. Soldiers from all forces move, fire and engage in combat across the entire battlefield simultaneously. Action is fast and furious. Each card determines when an individual unit (soldier, crew member, leader) can act. Players control one or more decks of 25 to 30 cards. A card from each deck is turned over to allow for simultaneous action for all players.
Scale is one figure is one soldier, one model is one vehicle. Figures are individually based. Ground scale matches the figure scale (i.e., for 20mm figures the ground scale is 1" = 2 meters). For use with 10mm to 28mm miniatures.
The 156-page rulebook covers nearly all aspects of World War II skirmish gaming. Included are rules for:
- Special Units: Medics, Flag Bearers, Messengers, Heroes, Snipers and more.
- Movement, cover and terrain.
- Infantry combat including firearms, grenades, flamethrowers, and more.
- Anti-Tank guns, mortars, hand-held anti-tank weapons, demolition charges and more.
- Rules for detailed vehicle combat.
- German, American, Russian and British stats for common vehicles.
The Face of Battle 2nd edition has been completely revised from the first edition. All optional styles of play were removed. Each soldier is represented by 1 to 3 cards, and players will have decks of about 30 cards.
