Armed Conflict is a war-themed strategy game that lets you command military units of different type and size in a conflict between two alliances, the Lions and the Eagles. The main focus is on the military strategy and tactics. The game is not based on any particular conflict or historical event, but the timeframe is loosely based on modern warfare, any time after WW2. Armed Conflict offers a sandbox-like environment for testing out military strategies and tactics, giving maximum replayability. The game comes with a double sided board, with two different maps. Each of the maps include hexagonal areas of different terrain, such as fields, forest and hills, which all give different benefits in the battle, based on real world military science. The complexity in the game is well balanced to suit both casual board gamers as well as seasoned wargamers. The key features of the different military units are highlighted to maintain realism, while keeping the game mechanics simple enough for a thrilling pace. -description from the publisher
