The war for oil in 2022. A futurist wargame. This is the second game of the serie.
Hover Tank 2 might have been better titled x2, because what we have is a bigger version of the neat little wargame HoverTank reviewed in Counter 5 (May 1999). Crucially, it's not twice as difficult nor twice as cumbersome.
John Bohrer has sensibly refrained from any weighty embellishments other than the addition of approximately 100 plastic playing pieces (nice), although the unit types remain the same. The geographic area is also significantly bigger. Its predecessor included four maps, of which just one was utilised. HT2 provides a symmetrical map in sections, measuring in at approximately 4' x 9". One big Mother.
HT2 objectives are extremely straightforward, each player being required to exit one of four units--either Mechanized Infantry, Armoured Personnel Carrier, Main Battle Tank or Multiple Launcher, Rockets--from the opposite side of the map. |
