Columbia Games to Give Wargamers a K.I.S.S.

What? You thought Columbia Games was going to give you a smacker on the lips? Hardly… K.I.S.S. is an upcoming squad level game of WWII combat currently set for release at the end of May. This two player game utilizes fog of war and is available for $50.00 on preorder.

From Columbia:

K.I.S.S is a fast-paced World War II squad level game, employing our wooden blocks. The game system features innovative and interactive rules for Fire Combat, Close Combat, Morale, and Leaders. The game is sophisticated, yet very playable.

You command a German or American infantry company, composed of three infantry platoons and a heavy weapons platoon. Expansion sets will include British, Soviet, Italian, and Japanese companies.

Unit types include:

• Leaders
• Rifle Squads
• MachineGuns
• Mortars
• Anti-Tank
• Tank

The game is not card driven; units are activated by company and platoon leaders.

Two geomorphic maps at a scale of 100 metres per hex are included. Extra maps will be available for separate purchase.

GamePlan pre-orders require a credit card but the game is NOT billed until it is produced. Preorders are guaranteed: you may return a game and get your money back if you’re not satisfied.
