Battle for Armageddon is a strategic boardgame produced by Games Workshop. Unlike the many Games Workshop games that use minatures, this is a more traditional counter and board game.
The game represents the Second Battle of Armageddon, a war in the Warhammer 40,000 universe The conflict is between the invading Orks under the leadership of the Ork Warlord Ghazghkull mag uruk Thraka and the Imperial world of Armageddon's defence forces under the joint command of Herman von Strab, Overlord of Armageddon; Commander Dante of the Blood Angels; and Imperial Commissar Yarrick. Concentrating on the Armageddon Secundus region of the planet the game is a mixture of strategy and resource management.
The game was originally released as a boxed game, as was the Chaos Attacks expansion set that focuses on the first war for Armageddon that takes place 300 years before Ghazghkull made his first foray into the Armageddon system.
Both games were later released for free in pdf format (http://www.armageddon3.com/English/History/history_free.html) by Games Workshop to promote their 3rd War for Armageddon (http://www.armageddon3.com/) Warhammer 40,000 campaign.
