About the game
An expansion for Pocket Landship: Free Trial Version. The war continues. Battles open on a second front. Both sides throw more iron and fire into the conflict. But, there is hope. Take your landship into battle once again, this time against 9 enemy units. But, you’ve got resources behind you that you can call into action: an artillery strike, bomber strike, air recon, and more. Pocket Landship: The Second Front expands the original Pocket Landship: Free Trial Version by adding more enemies and 2 additional assets that the player can call on during the game to help defeat the onslaught of 9 enemies. Each turn, the player will roll 3 6-sided dice and assign each die to each of their cards to attack the enemies. Then, for the enemy turn, roll the 3 dice and assign them low to high left to right across the front enemy line, then take the assigned actions. Cover art and card background images are public domain art from WWI artist Muirhead Bone.
