Pocket Battles: Elves vs. Orcs
Muster an army from a pool of troop tiles and deploy it across three battlefield sectors. Units attack with dice, using melee or ranged abilities and special traits that affect their unit or army. Players spend Order Tokens to activate units, with repeated orders becoming more costly during a battle round. After each round, units may redeploy between rows and sectors. The battle ends when one army loses at least half of its original point value, and the player who destroys the greater total value wins.

from 1 Ludoya review
Bad game with very little strategy, that feels won or lost since the very deployment. PROS - It's a little box, and not expensive. CONS - Almost every other "wargame" I've played is better than this one, offering more estrategical and/or tactical possibilities and resulting in greater fun.
