BLUF: This is a stand-alone boardgame that also allows you to incorporate games of Bolt Action, Blood Red Skies, and/or Victory At Sea into a campaign setting.

Bolt Action – Combined Arms is a strategic board game that commands the players to face off, seize the initiative and outwit their foe amidst the fog of war. Each game will see you fighting for control of air, land, and sea in order to claim objectives and hold them against the enemy.

Combined Arms includes finely detailed plastic miniatures featuring five different objectives as well as unit markers that represent Army (Infantry and Armour), Naval, and Aircraft units (brown for Allies, green for Axis) as well as Blitz markers to represent fast moving units. The objectives also come in brown and green to represent captured objectives, with grey objectives representing those yet to be captured.

The game also employs counters to represent orders, scouts and concealed units.

This looks really interesting to me! I'm always intrigued by campaign settings, and this looks like a great way to do a Victory at Sea campaign. It might also be fun to adapt to Dystopian Wars or other settings

 That's a very solid concept both as a stand-alone and as a strategic part of a conventional campaign - Reminds me of the Campaign game in the DW 2.5 rulebook (And as I passed a while ago on an eBay auction for a test casting of the markers for that game I'd be interested in this for the strategic assets markers alone. Wonder if they'll offer the sprues separately?

Interesting question on the separate sprues...Warlord might be able to do just that, we'll have to see.

A designer interview for the game went up today!
