Grav Armor (1982)

About this game

In the 31st Century the SILENCE is deafening as gravitic drives propel armored vehicles at speeds of up to 500 kph. Grav Armor is a game about warfare in the future and the advanced machines they use in these conflicts. Description from box: Grav Armor is a fast-moving game of future armored warfare for 2 players. It realistically simulates the high-speed, high casualty combat between streaking gravitic vehicles, surface-effects craft, supersonic fighters, orbital dropships and power-suited infantry. The modular map sections allow scenarios to be played on radically different types of planets (earthlike, molten, frozen or airless). A print-and-play version of this game is available for free, authorized download from http://dwarfstar.brainiac.com/, together with extra scenarios and maps, and individualised maps for the original scenarios.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 3.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 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.
