Board game Fantasy Flight Games Space Hulk: Death Angel ( 1932 )

DESCRIPTION OF THE BOARD GAME ANGEL OF DEATH

 Space Nulk: Angel of Death - a new card game about the adventures of a detachment of brave space paratroopers of the Emperor in the gloomy world of the distant future Warhammer 40,000.

 This game is based on a board game with miniatures of Space Nulk and fully conveys the sharpening of passions and the dynamics of combat, which is inherent in the struggle of paratroopers with the Genocide thieves in the narrow corridors of abandoned spaceships. Unlike its older brother, this game does not pit players against each other, but allows them to join forces in eradicating an alien plague in the name of the Emperor of All Mankind. At the same time from 1 to 6 people can play.

 At the disposal of the players is a detachment of spaceborne terminators, consisting of specialized units: assault, flamethrower, command, mobile, psi-units and melee units. Each link consists of two fighters. Each player controls one or two links. On the ship, they move in a column, exploring compartment after compartment, destroying along the way a swarm of genocides. The ultimate goal of their mission is to discover and save ancient artifacts lost by the Order of Bloody Angels hundreds of years ago.

HOW TO PLAY

 Before you start the game Angel of Death (Death Angel) you will need to prepare the playing field. Depending on the number of players, a ship map is selected. It indicates the order of the ship's compartments and the number of arriving Genographers Tyranids. Players then select or randomly select the units they will command and line up all the terminators in a column so that half of them cover the left flank and the rest cover the right. To the left and right of the column are maps with elements of the corridor: locks, turns, branches and rooms, ventilation hatches and shafts. Then separate decks with Genokrad and maps of events are mixed. Last of all, from a deck from Genokrad stacks of "blips" - radar signals - on both flanks are formed. From these stacks will come new tyrannical swarms. Cards of the Bloody Lord (leader of the Genocide) and other elements of the corridors are set aside - they will enter the game later. Support dice and tokens should be at hand - these are the most commonly used components of the game.

 Actually, the process of the game "Angel of Death (Death Angel)" consists of a series of moves that are played out in a certain order: giving orders, carrying out orders, attacking genocides, random events.

 First of all, players give orders to their units. There are only three options for orders: restructuring, support or attack. During the rearrangement, the terminators can change their place in battle order, rebuild on another flank. Following orders of support, they cover their brothers with fire from Storm Noah. Support tokens are used to show this. Well, an attack is an ATTACK !!! However, at each link on its cards of orders features of playing of these orders are specified. For example, the mobile unit during the restructuring can take any position in the unit, reacting instantly to changes in the combat situation. Flamethrowers for one attack can be destroyed by a huge swarm of Genokradov. The sergeant supports morale of fighters and can initiate counterattack after successfully realized protection. The assault unit fires heavy fire at the enemy. The melee link has greater resistance in hand-to-hand combat with the Tyranids. Psyker can isolate the most dangerous swarm with a force field.

 Then the players play the given orders with their links in the order of the initiative indicated on their cards. Perestroika is being carried out, support tokens are being decomposed, and attacks on genocide thieves are being carried out. After that, the surviving swarms of Tyranids attack the nearest space paratroopers. The result of any attack is determined by throwing a special dice. Thus to get on a swarm the more difficult, the more in it Genokradov, and Tyranids get on space paratroopers with enviably identical frequency. Rules of game transfer of cubes, both in attack, and in defense are provided. If the result of the throw is unsatisfactory, you can try your luck again by dropping the support token from the attacking or attacked paratrooper.

 After all the attacks, one of the players takes on a fateful role - he draws and plays a map of events. The deck of these cards is the basis of the engine of the game "Angels of Death". Each has a variety of surprises. Rarely - pleasant, but most often - aimed at complicating the lives of miserable people. In addition, special icons at the bottom of each event map indicate where and in what numbers the new Gene Thieves appear and how those who have already entered the game move. Thanks to these cards, players are always in the thick of things. Shuffle the deck well - and your next adventure will not be like any of the previous ones.

 After playing the event card, the move is considered complete and the next one begins - giving orders, carrying out orders, attacking the Tyranids, the event card, and so on in a circle. But the extermination of genocide is not the main goal of the game. We should not forget about the primary mission of the Bloody Angels: to find and return the oldest artifacts. Among them - an ancient bowl, a reconnaissance robot with invaluable data, etc. To complete the mission, players must act in a coordinated and clear manner, try to minimize losses and move faster from compartment to compartment. The column can open the door to a new compartment when one of the stacks of "blip" radar is exhausted.

 There are 24 compartments in total, but only 3-4 of them are involved in each game. This is another mechanism that provides a variety of adventures in the depths of the Angel of Death. In one of the last compartments in the depths of the space island is the coveted object of the mission and the conditions of victory in a particular party.

FOR WHOM THE GAME

 Summarizing the above, we can safely say that Space Hulk: Angel of Death - is a great card reincarnation of the famous game with miniatures "Space Hulk". The gameplay is dynamic and unpredictable. The mechanics of cooperative or solo playing give an opportunity to look in a new way at the confrontation between space paratroopers and tyrants. The game will appeal to all fans and admirers of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, those who have not managed to accumulate the coveted amount of "Space Hulk", and finally, those who want to play with friends, not against them. This game is definitely worth your attention if your mind is enslaved by the hive of Tyranids and you are preparing a springboard for their invasion or if you do not like games that have a lot of random events.
