Read the full game description
Halo: Flashpoint is a two-player miniatures skirmish game built around the War Games arena. Players command Spartan fireteams across a modular cube-based battlefield, moving through cover, collecting weapons and equipment, and contesting scenario objectives. Dice-driven attacks are resolved through a compact symbol system, while respawns keep the battle moving and reward control of the map rather than simple elimination. The Recon Edition provides the core rules, two full fireteams, terrain, tokens, and multiple missions for self-contained competitive play.
