Urban Battles is a game whose concept goes back to Panzer Strike: France 1940 and later Tank Chess. Each playing piece represents an individual tank or armored unit. Set up takes no more than 1-3 minutes and is scenario dependent.
Urban Battles is designed for two players. The goal of the game is determined by each Mission, provided in the Brochure. Each Mission has several game setups.
Three modes of play are offered for the gamers tastes:
Basic Mode – a relaxed and fluid game with the influence of luck via dice
Absolute Mode – no dice with a greater tactical and strategic feel to gameplay
Realistic Mode – the game now drills down to realistic firing angles via more detailed lines of sight requiring a ruler or some type of straight edge.
