GrogHeads Reviews Platoon Commander – Poland Strikes
The wars of the future are on your tabletop now ~

About the game
Poland Strikes is one of four games in the ‘Platoon Commander’ series and depicts an hypothetical war between Poland and Hungary taking place within a wider European conflict.
The game uses the latest v1.5 series rules and features an 11×17-in map, 88 x 5/8” counters, a nicely laid out and very colourful player aid card, plus 18 ‘action cards’
I assume that these latest rules are backwards compatible with the other games in the series.
Each hex represent approx 150 meters, and each game turn 15-60 minutes.

News! Armageddon War hits Kickstarter
Check out the latest from Flying Pig Games ~
GrogHeads Newsdesk, 05 May 2017
Flying Pig Games have launched their most recent Kickstarter campaign
Armageddon War: Platoon Level Combat in the End War, is live on Kickstarter. The latest offering from serial successful-Kickstarter campaigner, Flying Pig Games, Armageddon War is set in a dark, not-too distant future.
Following disease, famine, and economic collapse among the world’s first-line powers, conventional war erupts in the Mid-East for what arable land remains. Old allies join the carnage, and the war grows, pitting age-old adversaries and their new friends against each other. Armageddon War depicts the chaos in the midst of this war.

Over 65 events across 4 days, for all your wargaming goodness. Plus, show up Wednesday afternoon and see what the staff has on the table just for their own fun 🙂
When you’re looking for our events in the Origins master event grid, they all start with “GrogHeads Presents”. We did that to make it easier to find when sorting through a giant spreadsheet with over 6000 events, however we stripped it out of the names on our event grid here just to simplify the listings.
Don’t forget that everyone who plays in our events gets a discount with our vendor partners, and gets entered for some great Sunday-morning raffle prizes. There’s also at least one prize for one of the players at every one of our events.
Note that the kids’ events – as noted above – have a special prize for kids who check out all 4 of the different games, and do not have prizes for each individual event.
