debuted last fall, but unless you preordered months in advance, the officially licensed wargame was difficult to find in stock. British board game publisher Mantic unlocked preorders for a second wave of units when Halo: Flashpoint launched, but stock still appears to be quite limited.

, it’s only sold by third-parties in the US at this time. Recon is a more streamlined version of the game with fewer miniatures, cards, and terrain pieces.

Flashpoint is a skirmish game that sees players assemble teams of Halo Spartans or Banished Elites and send them into tactical turn-based battles. Those who have played similar wargames like Warhammer 40,000–especially the smaller-scale Killteam format–will find Halo: Flashpoint’s premise and gameplay familiar, but the game’s creator, Mantic Entertainment, designed it to be approachable to newcomers.

Here’s what you’ll find inside the box of the Spartan Edition. The Spartan minis are red or blue–you get eight of each color–but you can paint more detailed designs over these base foundations. Out of the box, the four Banished Elites are gray.

The Recon Edition comes with everything you need to start playing a faster-paced, less dynamic version of Flashpoint. The Recon Edition doesn’t feature the Banished Elites, so you’re limited to Red vs. Blue, with each player getting four Spartan miniatures each. The Recon Edition includes roughly half the number of Weapon, Player, and Reference cards.

Like the Spartan Edition, the Recon Edition includes a double-sided playmat, but you will have fewer terrain pieces to rearrange and are limited to ground skirmishes. The Spartan Edition has several multi-story terrain pieces.

Here’s what you get with Halo: Flashpoint’s Recon Edition:

• Halo: Flashpoint Rulebook
• 8 Spartan Models
• Playmat
• Pre-colored double-sided cardboard terrain and tokens
• 10 Weapon Cards
• 8 Player Cards
• 2 Reference Cards
• 12 D8 Dice
• 6 Command Dice
