The Battle Card: Series 1 is a collection of print at home micro solitaire games that depict iconic battles and campaigns of the Second World War with only a single sheet of paper and a handful of dice. In the first part we are getting following engagements:

  • The Malayan Campaign (1941/42, Pacific Theater)
  • Moro River (1943/44, Italian Theater)

Each scenario is played on a single sheet map with scenario-specific rules that allow players to face some of the unique challenges and struggles of that particular battle. The games are played over a series of six turns, and while each game features unique choices, the player is often forced to make difficult decisions on whether to attack or defend, how best to bolster their main forces with support such as reinforcements and artillery, and when to advance or withdraw from conflict.

In below material we will show how to play those games, what are the main rules (all fits in A4 format!) as well as some strategic considerations:

Enjoy!
