Released in 2010 by Worthington Games, there’s a lot to love about this game, with its high replay ability and solitaire friendly mechanics (it’s a 2-2 Player game); but the box and cards are flimsy, the counters have great art but are difficult to punch, and there were errors in production. Still the ease of rules that it provides multiple missions and ways to play make up considerably for its flaws.
It’s a bit of a challenge to find this game, but you can snag it up for about $30 USD, which it’s pricier-point clearly (to me) makes it worth picking up.
Boots on the Ground is the new Worthington Games series that puts you in the middle of the action. Start your mission as the Team leader of an elite group of shooters. Your team consist of a Demo expert, Heavy Weapons Expert, Medic, Scout, Sniper and you, the leader. During your briefing you are told your objectives and known intel on the area. As always, intel always changes once the Boots are on the ground. Move your force through the urban area facing an unknown number of insurgents coming from you at all angles. As the team leader you decide if you stay as a group or send out your specialist to eliminate the enemy with their special skills. Also come on the field with another team, you and another player can fight the insurgents together as Alpha and Bravo team, while the insurgents move and engage both teams with equal resolve race to see which team can complete the objectives first.
