This is a great product. Savage Showdown is a miniatures game based on the Savage Worlds system. This product really highlights the strength of the system. There are three scenarios - an airdrop on a crossroad protected by American troops, a group of German soldiers posing as Americans and attempting to infiltrate the front line, and a bridge that must be held - with tank support!
I played out the first scenario, and it was a blast! It's amazing how tactics and luck combine to create a memorable, wild, and unpredictable situation. The fortunes of war.
The designers created interesting and balanced scenarios to recreate historical events, with or without supernatural elements. This product is worth every penny. It includes paper figures and equipment. Take a break from your RPG campaign and have a really tactical experience or include this in a Weird War 2 campaign.
I wish Pinnacle would support their Showdown line more. I would love to see more scenarios in different genres. I also love the fact that they include options to play out Weird elements or a straight historical style.
One suggestion I would make is to create unit cards ready to print. Having ready to print cards would save set up time. Other than that, I am really pleased with my purchase.
