Reception
Norman Smith reviewed Onslaught for Games International magazine, and gave it 5 stars out of 5, and stated that "This game is just what the hobby needs at the moment: a solid design that serves as an excellent introductory game and also a superb game for regular wargamers. It plays well solitaire and can be played in an evening."[1]
