BAYONETGAMES ANNOUNCES "MOVEMENT TO CONTACT," FIRST GAME IN THE WARFIGHTER 101 SERIES

Columbus, OH, 20 July 2005 - Following its successful debut at Origins 2005, Warfighter 101: Movement to Contact is now available to wargamers everywhere.  Movement to Contact is the first game using BayonetGames' new Warfighter 101 system.  Designed to be easily-learned and fast-playing, the Warfighter 101 system incorporates the designers' real-world military experience into a robust system for simulating modern maneuver combat.

Movement to Contact portrays the battles of a US Army tank battalion and the vaunted OPFOR of Fort Irwin's National Training Center, a perfect proving ground for soldiers and wargamers alike.  Although the Warfighter 101 system is a classic hex-and-turn based wargame, innovations like completely new zones of control and reconnaissance objectives will keep players engaged in on-the-fly tactical planning, not unlike real battalion commanders.  

In addition to the fast-paced rules, the Warfighter 101 system lays out its scenarios in a format reminiscent of US Army operations orders, and the battle tracking charts are designed to resemble military synchronization matrices - two authentic touches from a designer with over 10 years of military service in tank battalions and armored brigades.

Warfighter 101 hexes are 1000 meters, and counters represent platoons, sections, and individual vehicles; turns are 5-10 minutes.  Warfighter 101: Movement to Contact includes over 100 counters, a double-sided mapsheet, 2 scenarios, a blank scenario worksheet, battle tracking charts, and the Warfighter 101 system rules.  Additional mapsheets and downloadable forms are available at www.bayonetgames.com.

Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Neil A. Garra, an instructor at Fort Huachuca, AZ, says, "During my Military Decision Making Process Wargaming classes at the US Army Intelligence Center, the lieutenants often ask me for a commercial wargame to hone their skills.  I always recommend BayonetGames' Warfighter 101. It's easy to learn, current, and very inexpensive."

Warfighter 101: Movement to Contact is available for $15 + shipping.

All of BayonetGames products are available at www.bayonetgames.com, where blank forms and bonus maps can also be downloaded.
