Produktbeschreibung

Fortress America, a board game of strategy and survival for two to four players, imagines a not-too-distant future in which war has once again encircled the globe. This updated version of the 1986 classic features beautifully crafted components (including over 300 detailed plastic figures), thrusting players into a frightening geopolitical scenario.


In Fortress America, the United States must defend itself from three deadly invading armies: the Asian People’s Alliance from the West, the Central American Federation from the South, and the Euro-Socialist Pact from the East. Players take on either the role of the United States, struggling to protect itself from foreign threats, or the role of one or more of the invading armies, fighting battle after battle to acquire important territories.

If the invading forces claim enough U.S. cities, America's defense is broken and the nation falls. But if the United States can protect its cities for long enough, the invading forces fail to uproot America and their incursion is ended.

Fortress America is played over several rounds in which each player musters his forces, moves into enemy-controlled territories, and engages in fierce firefights. But depending on whether you're the U.S. player or one of the Invaders, your play experience and general strategy will be entirely different. The U.S. must efficiently wield its colossal lasers, the ultimate weapons of mass destruction, in its own defense. What's more, as U.S. hovertanks, helicopters, bombers, and infantry are destroyed and removed from the map, a steady supply of American guerilla fighters spring up to defend their homeland. The U.S. player is surrounded and alone, and must do his best to fend off advances on three fronts in a series of tense battles.

The Invaders, on the other hand, must remain constantly aggressive. Their objective is to collectively capture 18 of 30 major U.S. cities, and to do so, they must apply early pressure before the U.S. has a chance to react, and keep the pressure constant. To complicate the Invaders' mission, their armies do not receive additional reinforcements, so they must make optimal use of the forces at their disposal. Through a series of nail-biting battles that use a unique dice-based combat system, each player will maneuver his dwindling armies to secure his objective. But can America be stopped, or will a failed invasion only compel them to tighten their military grip on the world.

Changed in this edition:

Convenient custom dice obviate the need to consult charts during combat.
A ten-turn timer gives the U.S. player an additional path to victory: outlasting the invasion.
A "Captured City" track lets all players see, at a quick glance, how close they are to victory or defeat.
A small number of cities have been removed from the map, and others added, to create a more strategically satisfying experience.
A deck of cards for the Invader players has been added to use as a rules option.

Key Points

• An updated version of a classic 1986 title from Milton Bradley's Gamemaster Series

• Places one player (as the U.S.) against up to three others (playing a coalition of allied governments)

• Features aesthetic and thematic updates as well as an optional variant, but leaves the classic game experience unchanged

• Includes over 300 detailed plastic figures, 50 cards, 100 tokens and markers, 13 custom dice, and more

• Developed by Kevin Wilson, based on an original design by Michael Gray (winner of 1986 Charles S. Roberts award)
