Halo Ground Command

Halo Ground Command vehicleSpartan Games, which currently has the Halo: Fleet Battles spaceship combat game, has begun taking preorders for a terrestrial combat title, Halo: Ground Command. A two-player Battle for Reach starter box (£65, shipping this summer) will include custom dice, scenery elements, rulebooks and reference sheets, tokens, and around 80 miniature figures (infantry and armor in 1/100 scale).

In developing the rules for Halo: Ground Command, Spartan says it’s given extra attention to recreating the video game’s “high-energy gameplay.” A special phase for flyers also promises to maintain the “menacing shadow of a Pelican Dropship or Phantom Troop Carrier streaking overhead.”
