'''Battle for Armageddon''' was a strategic boardgame released by [[Games Workshop]] in 1992. Unlike the many miniatures-based games produced by GW, '''Armageddon''' was a more traditional counter and board game. It was one of four in GW's "[[Wargames Series]]", including [[Horus Heresy (1993)]] and [[Doom of the Eldar (Game)]], which used the same or similar principles.
== Campaign ==
The game represents the [[Second War for Armageddon]], between the [[Ork]] [[Waaagh!]] led by [[Warboss|Warlord]] [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]], and the defending [[Imperial]] forces of the [[Hive World]] [[Armageddon]], [[Governor|Overlord]] [[Herman von Strab]], [[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.
