About Beetle Battalion

Beetle Battalion is a small squad game on a six by six meadow. Three beetles, three wasps, and a movement range of two steps per turn. The rule that makes it a puzzle is the counter-attack: a wasp that survives your bite bites straight back for one health point.

That means an attack from two beetles at once finishes a wasp safely, while a lone bite leaves your beetle hurt. The score rewards bites landed and wasps cleared rather than turns survived.
