Armada Mantic Games - Naval Battles Skirmish Game Review - First Impressions

  I'm not sure if there is anything more delicious than the emergent narrative that appears in a non narrative based game. The tales of success and failure. The type of game that if you gave a report on, would read like a story of intensity and cunning, where desperate tactics in desperate situations won the day. Or even better the ones that force ridiculous situations that have both sides grinning at each other. Sworn enemies sharing a joke across a snarling and biting sea. Armada from Mantic games provides a framework in which these things are a possibility, a foundation that endeavours to avoid sinking to the bottom of the cold, bland and predictable same tactics sea.  Overview Armada from Mantic Games is a naval battle game where you will pilot miniature boats within a set area, trying to win the agreed scenario.

OverDrive Board Game Review - Mantic Games

I think there should be an exclamation mark at this point, maybe even two but definitely one. It should be OverDrive! maybe even OVERDRIVE!! I'm currently still considering whether to deface the box with some coloured crayon. You see OverDrive is a half time show spectacle of a game that slots in between the main Dreadball games in the Mantic Universe, it deserves a bit of shouting but I'm not sure how much at this point. I've got a soft spot for Mantic. I like how they just get on with their games, don't come round your house and drink your expensive coffee and take three gluten free biscuits when you offer them two. When you play their games you kind of get the feeling that they really like what they do and they want you to know how much they like what they are doing.  OverDRIVE! isn't meant to be narratively about good versus bad or even Good Versus Bad.
