I cannot find any reliable secondary sources or reviews with secondary coverage for this product apart from the fact it won an award. I did find a brief mention of it in an academic article but I don't think that's enough for WP:GNG. Furthermore, the only comment on the talk page after 13 years is "This seems like nothing more than a commercial for this product," and the article would need to be heavily cleaned up to pass WP:PROMO.

Keep. The article is in a bad shape, but the question is - is this product notable? Reviews: borderline (rather short, poorly formatted - old page?, and is the site notable?), and frankly I don't see anything better. But the article does have a claim that "Attack Vector: Tactical won the Origins Award in 2004 for "Best New Miniatures Game" (2004 Origins Award winners), and that is a major award in the board gaming world (and it is verifiable: [1]). I also found a brief mention of the game in [2] (hardly in-depth). I expected to find some more stuff out there, but I am not finding anything. I think the Origins award gives this game a borderline pass, although see Wikipedia:Notability (video games) section on awards (and while it is about video games, the same logic applies). If we could find some reviews... maybe in some non-digitized sources? There are magazines and such for wargame fans, I think. Even though I cannot find reviews, the game got an entry in the SF Encyclopedia: [3], and we do have the rule of thumb that topics good enough for other encyclopedias are good enough for us. I think this should stay. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:27, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
