Preview of Urban Battle
by
Forsage Games
The game Urban Battle has been worked on by Forsage Games for almost 20 years. It is actually the third release of the game that they have had in their minds for all of those years. The first release was called Panzer Strike. The second game, which I had the privilege of reviewing, was called Tank Chess. This third iteration of the concept has had the other two games' rules etc. to work off and germinate more ideas in Forsage Games combined heads.

Urban Battle is meant to be a game that is incredibly easy to setup and to play. Going by their Tank Chess game and the little I have played of Urban Battle, they have hit the nail on the head. Urban Battle is a game of mechanized forces fighting in an urban environment. Most of the different tanks etc. seem to be based on many different World War II historical counterparts. You can also see it as a game about World War III mechanized combat. To be honest, most of the military items that are in use were introduced in their infancy during World War II.
The game plays quickly and is very easy to learn. This does not mean that it does not have some meat on its bones. There are both strategies and tactics to learn and make sure you use in this game. If you do not, your pieces will soon end up on the rubbish heap. I will have a more in depth look at the game coming soon. Thank you, Forsage Games, for allowing me to review Urban Battle.

Please do yourself a favor when you are on the Forsage Games site and take a look at their Age of Dogfights series. I had a chance to review their Age of Dogfights WWI, and it is an excellent game of air combat in the First World War. They have kindly sent me, along with Urban Battle and Urban Battle Junior Edition, their Age of Dogfights WWII to review.
