Boots on the Ground puts you in the middle of the action. Start your mission as the Team leader of an elite group of shooters. Your team consists of a Demo expert, Heavy Weapons Expert, Medic, Scout, Sniper and you -- the Leader. During your briefing you are told your objectives and known intel on the area. Move your force through the urban area facing an unknown number of insurgents coming from you at all angles. As the team leader you decide if you stay as a group or send out a specialist to eliminate the enemy with their unique skills. Play solo, or fight together with another player as Alpha and Bravo team, while the insurgents move and engage you both with equal resolve thanks to a card-automation system. You can also race to see which team can complete the objectives first, or even play as a traditional 2-sided wargame.
