WWII Skirmish Comes To Kickstarter With 1-48 TACTIC By Baueda
July 14, 2017 by stvitusdancern
Currently on Kickstarter is a game that actually has been around for some time, but Baueda is looking to give it a new iteration.
1-48Tactic is a WWII skirmish game where you take four to six miniatures for each side and play in a 2' x 2' area. The rulebook is only 40 pages long and all the information you need to play the game are on each miniatures' card.
In the Kickstarter, you have the option of either the U.S. Army 101st Airborne or German Heer 26th Volksgrenadier Division along with tokens and other markers to play the game.
There are options for scenery to add to your play experience. The rules are currently available for download here and I suggest you take a look at them and see what you think. The game looks pretty straightforward and quick to play.
On the subject of the miniatures, I think they are looking really sharp. The details of their equipment and body proportions seem to be just right. Currently, the minis will be in metal, but there is a resin upgrade.
If you are looking to get in some WWII action on a very small scale force wise and want to get in a quick game, this might just be the answer for you.

I have backed this, purely because the 1st Ed was a fast brutal game. I’m hoping that it gets fully funded with a few stretch goals unlocked. This would make for a very brutal “let’s play” or grudge match between the BoW team members.
love the sand bags.
This is an excellent game which I have been playing for years. A simple easily learnt rule system but with a need for serious tactical thinking. I have played short games with 4 miniatures per side and also larger games with up to 15 miniatures per side. I highly recommend this. The figures are great and the scenic items are first class.
Nice idea. Is there a cards-only version for those of us who already have WW2 minis?
