The Fall of Reach
Man, look at those dice. There’s some explosions, there’s a “no” symbol, and there’s the iconicHaloskull. I don’t know exactly howHalo: Fleet Battlesplays, but I do love me some custom dice.
Halo: Fleet Battlesis based off thePlanetfallsystem, which is described as a fast-paced take on the miniature wargame genre. This first entry in the series is subtitledThe Fall of Reach, taking place at a pivotal point in the Human-Covenant War, during the events ofHalo: Reachand just before players take on the role of Master Chief inHalo: Combat Evolved.
Included in the box are 49 (unpainted) plastic ship models and a rulebook measuring at over 100 pages. Though no official announcements have been made for expansions or additional campaigns, the subtitleThe Fall of Reach, the organization of publisherSpartan Games’ website, and the general trend in tabletop gaming point to this being the first of many entries in theHalo: Fleet Battlesline.
Halo: Fleet Battles, The Fall of Reachis available now online for£80 (roughly $125).
