Band Of Brothers: Epic Battles Battle Pack One Now On Kickstarter
January 23, 2017 by stvitusdancern
Worthington Publishing is back on Kickstarter with the newest expansion for their hex and counter game Band of Brothers. Epic Battles Battle Pack One (say that five times fast) is the latest expansion to expand your WWII games.
This game is an expansion set to the Band Of Brothers game series. It is four epic battles that are larger scenarios that are games themselves. They use a giant hard mounted game board, almost two feet by three feet, that is double sided. One side is a snow landscape and the other a summer environment.
All the counters you need are included in the battle pack but you must own either Screaming Eagles or Ghost Panzer for the base rules, player aid cards, status counters, etc.
What's Included In Epic Battlepack One?
- Game Box
- Approximately 22" x 34" double sided hard mounted game board
- 1x sheet of all new game counters exclusive to the Epic Battle Pack
- 2x sheets of counters (units from Ghost Panzer and Screaming Eagles for use in the Epic Battle Pack)
- Specific Rules and 4 grand battle scenarios for Epic Battle Pack
The Epic Battles
- EPIC Scenario 45 (Map 27) - Ivan Kommen - East of Minsk, Belorussia, 1st July 1944: 3 companies of Russian infantry, bolstered later by T34s, SUs, Submachine Gun Squads attack the hills across the open ground against a retreating group of German infantry reinforced by ad hoc units of vehicles and Panzer Grenadiers.

I have always been a fan of this kind of game and we all know Oriskany is as well. I would love to get his thoughts on this game.
So, when you are ready to command some troops and go against the enemy on a different scale why not take a look at Band of Brothers.
