Battlefield Bad Company 2 Reborn As A Tabletop Game

In July 2010, internet person Akula started a new project – and a very ambitious project at that. Akula wanted to turn video game Battlefield Bad Company 2 into a tabletop game.

Writes Akula, “My plan is to build a table, based upon the ‘Arica Harbour’ map, in BF:BC2, paint up the necessary miniatures/vehicles represented by the game, AND write a set of fastplay rules that replicate the character of the PC/console game, so that playing the tabletop wargame isn’t ‘just another modern skirmish game.’”

It’s 2011, and Akula is still hard at work. There’s a project blog for folks to follow the game’s progress. Akula adds, “If you have played the Arica Harbour map, from the Battlefield Bad Company 2 game, hopefully it is beginning to look a bit familiar – the construction site board is almost ready, apart from painting the buildings, and making some chainlink fencing.”

    It’s not authentic until it has wookies hiding behind every bush and in every upstairs window.

      Very true. I wish the 1000ticket server had this map in its rotation.
