When all quadrant battles are resolved, players determine if their ships have enough strength left to control a quadrant. When both are finished they reveal their placements and move their units to the main quadrant map to determine where conflicts arise. They secretly deploy their forces on their player mini-quadrant map. Using the scenario options players control a number of ships, units and Action Chits. The 11×17 quadrant and battle sheet is placed on the board between each player and the player sheets are given to each player. These are the basis for figuring out strategy to win the overall conflict. The last tokens are resources that are placed on the main map to determine quadrant strength and value. Also, in the punch-outs, are Action Chits that can be used to enhance ships be used during tactical and strategic gameplay. The setting up the game requires punching out a sheet of tokens representing star fleets, which deal combat damage, morphogenetic units (which can convert enemy units to fight on the other side), combination units which do both and the higher powered world ships which are also combination units. The two fleets will meet in combat for control of the quadrants resources and political strength. The two players will send their forces of Chaos and Imperial to fight for control of six quadrants of the galaxy. If you enjoy tactics and strategy, Decision Games’ Battles for the Galactic Empire offers a fun and enjoyable two player battle with some variant scenarios to play through. I used the folder and found another folder to hide each player’s secret moves. Players must provide their own dice and create their own screens. This is a two-player game with no solitaire option. Adding a round of play example would allow the reader a chance to see the features of the game being played once and would probably alleviate a few question marks. The art was simple and does the job.įailed Basic: The instructions, while complete enough to eventually get it figured out, were a bit cryptic when deciphering game play. Passed Inspection: A simple game in a folder, an elegant and attractive presentation. Battles for the Galactic Empire Game Review by Greg Johnson By Greg Johnson
