Fire Team (1987)

About this game

"Fire Team" is a tactical level wargame of US and Soviet forces meeting somewhere in Western Germany. Counters represent individual squads, fire teams, tanks, leaders, helicopters, etc. Fairly complex game with lots of optional rules. Unusual system of drawing chits to determine who's got to spend action points to perform next action.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 3.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
