Stratak Wars

The Beginning

Stratak is an abbreviation for Strategy and Tactics, and is intended to be a basic system for battle simulation, including the weapons tank, ships and airplanes. Stratak The Beginning is the core games, comprising the components for the nations of Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Russia and USA,

Stratak is set in a fictitious world, the rules of the states there want to enlarge their influence spheres and make tactical decisions for the best deployment of their troops, use the advantages of their weapons in combat and decide on the correct strategy for use of supplies. The active player can activate 10 units and fight and then move or move first and fight afterwards. Distances to move depend on the kind of unit and kind of terrain. You can stack and pass your own units, but cannot enter hexes occupied by opposing forces. Supply cannot be transferred into the next round. Combat and battles are handled by rolling D6 dice, each unit can attack any other unit on adjacent hexes, but only once per round. In order to conquer a city you must be present there until the end of the turn. If you hold most cities at the end of the agreed time to play, you win.

The very flexible system is geared for expansions and implementation of your own ideas, it does not need models and uses easily stacked marker tiles, which are also easily distinguished by color. Political facts are also not fixed and can be adapted to your own ideas - Stratak is a felicitous augmentation for the genre of Conflict simulation games.
