Battlefield Evolution Modern Combat

Bought Battlefield Evolution Modern Combat on Ebay at the beginning of the month and it finally arrived on Thursday.

Why Bevo ModCom? Well, it was 99p! Yes, just 99p and I noticed last night that it's on the  ebing sold on the Mongoose Publishing website for £2.99.

Pushing past the publisher's excited hyperbole that prevented me from purchasing Bevo ModCom on release, it does appear to produce a fast paced 'fun' small scale modern combat game in less than two hours.

I've only had a short space of time to look at it this week but I am liking what I see already. No, really! Bevo ModCom is a breath of fresh air in many respects - allowing gamers to fight a wargame with tanks and a'hin 'Airfix style' but with a certain Warhammer twist. Morale? What morale? Your figures are on the table to fight, soldier! And fight they shall!

Is this modern combat? Is it bollocks. If however, you want to get a couple of squads of infantry backed by a handful of tanks onto a tabletop and play the arse out of them with a nod to the 'Airfix games of your youth, yet retain a level of modern gaming sophistication and a little bit of character, Battlefield Evolution Modern Combat might well be worth a go, especially at a knockdown price.

Cheers

  1. Waiting for mine to turn up. The Zombie supplement is good for 99p as well!

  2. Thanks for the heads up Steve. Ordered my copy of Bevo ComMod on 6th Jan - 2 week turn around. Look forward to seeing what you think of the rules.

  3. Hmmm might buy them and see if I can get any interest in a 79 game. I'm getting fed up pushing Napoleonics around table.
