Board & Card Games Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who like playing board games, designing board games or modifying the rules of existing board games. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I'm currently looking for tactical skirmish or dungeon crawler board games that allows models to influence the positions of other models by direct pulling or pushing.

Most of these games have allowance for overwatch mode, wherein a friendly unit can pay a certain cost such that all enemy units that enter the friendly unit's line of sight (LOS) can be shot at when they come into range, and this shot is performed "out of turn", on the enemy unit's activation and not the friendly unit's.

I'm looking for board games that allow other friendly units to either push or pull enemies into that zone of reaction fire, either for free or at a cost, so the unit in overwatch mode can kill the pushed or pulled enemy unit.

Incursion doesn't apply because the pulling harpoon of the model "Hans von X" is fired within LOS, and reaction fire in that game only occurs when there are no other models in LOS.

Last Night on Earth has the "Fire Extinguisher" item that pushes zombies into explosive traps, but it doesn't have overwatch mode.

Are there any games that allow players to do that?

Hello and welcome to B&CG! Unfortunately, I've had to close your question. Recommendation questions are not a good fit on the StackExchange platform and we have banned them from this site.

@PatLudwig Just so you know, questions of this nature are often allowed on other academic SE sites if the list is fairly small. Personally, I don't see what is so distinct about this question that it should be closed when other SE sites clearly accept this type of content: biology.stackexchange.com/questions/2675/ biology.stackexchange.com/questions/1008/ stackoverflow.com/questions/1312018/ – CrazyJugglerDrummer Jul 20 '12 at 23:35
