Spartan Games: Halo Fleet Battles coming this summer

Back in episode #139 of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast, we spoke to Neil Fawcett from Spartan Games, and he told us of Halo Fleet Battles.

We’ve just been sent details of what will be in the box. From their press release:

The Halo: Fleet Battles, The Fall of Reach two player battle box is the ultimate way for fans of the Halo Universe to recreate pivotal space battles between the stalwart forces of the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and the relentless Covenant armada. Developed in close cooperation with 343 Industries, The Fall of Reach puts you at the centre of the most pivotal naval conflict of the long Human-Covenant War, commanding massive fleets of deadly warships as they clash above the fortified human colony of Reach. Take humanity’s last stand to the gaming table!

The Fall of Reach box contents include:

• A full colour 100-page rulebook packed full of images and examples
• Fall of Reach campaign guide
• 49 highly-detailed plastic ship models
• 25 custom Halo Dice
• Fleet Commander Data Sheets
• Flight Stands and Overlay Cards
• Punch-out Scenery and Token sheets
• Quick Guide reference sheets

Halo: Fleet Battles delivers an easy to learn, lore-infused, tactically-rich gaming experience that appeals both to experienced wargamers and fans of the Halo Universe.

The box set will retail for £80. I understand that the game will be demoing at Salute this Saturday…
