Grav Armor

Grav Armor is a science fiction tank combat board game published by Heritage Models in 1982.

The microgame comes in a small box and includes The maps display five different colors of terrain, but these can represent anything demanded by the scenario.

A hit on an infantry unit disrupts it for one move; cities can take partial damage before being destroyed.

There's more than enough detail to satisfy the simulation freak, and yet the mechanics are so streamlined that with practice the battle flows very smoothly.

The armored united have personality and their diversity, combined with terrain and other variables, makes for a totally new game with every play.

Although he found the scenarios were "interesting tactical situations and are reasonably well-balanced," he noted that "one of the weak points of the game is its lack of context; exactly who the two sides are, and why these battles are important is glossed over."
