Another project of mine - a game about robotic operatives doing SWAT-like things in a fictional s-f setting.

It is not really a serious SWAT like wargame but something that is meant for one player and offer some Line of Sight puzzles.

It is inspired by games like Phantom Brigade - when the action starts, units use Action Tiles of different lengths to represent the sequence of actions (move, shoot, close combat, breach) that they are executing.

This is also a part of 2025 Wargame Print and Play Jam - the theme is "armor".

In my game, players can choose between three categories of armor. All units in the game have some - but those heavier are "delayed" in their combat rounds.

Not only that, every weapon has certain Penetration value - if it is higher than Armor of the target, shot continues on its merry journey, probably hitting another target or maybe just a wall, potentially breaching the space infrastructure (no rules yet about reactor meltdowns!)

The principle of the project is to leave the player with a considerable freedom - in choosing equipment, points of entry, even ways of entry (smashing through walls is possible) - with a hint of turn limit pressure and also too big collateral damage marking the defeat.

Ultimately, the viewer is going to be a judge if I manage successfully all that. Information about the game, links to pdf files and TTS module are available here:

Any feedback is an actionable feedback, so thank You in advance!

Here's an #introduction to this account

I'm @nauss and this is the account where, I guess, I'll talk about - and maybe post pictures related to - my board game habits

Some games to which I more or less know the rules at this point, in no particular order: #TwilightStruggle, the shorter #TSRedSea, #ImperialStruggle, the excellent #BayonetsAndTomahawks produced by talented locals, #HereIStand, #VirginQueen, #PaxRenaissance, #PaxPamir, #Arcs, maybe #JohnCompany but I'm not certain, and at least the Breaking the Bismarck Barrier scenario of #EmpireOfTheSun (finally, a game with real hexes). I have played several COIN games but the one I like the most is #AndeanAbyss. I love #DominantSpecies. I'm starting to love #Nevsky

Definitely not a tabletop board game but I'm also a big fan of #CivilizationVI, e.g. #Civ6. More hexes!

Interested in playing more games with locals, connecting with other people in town, or playing with other places' locals when I'm out of town. Looking at you, Ontario

I don't use Facebook, Discord, or almost any spyware social media if I can help it - and I only use BoardgameGeek begrudgingly. Happy to be on wargamers.social now, I've been thinking about spinning up a more game-focused account for awhile but it's always been on the backburner 😀

My son asked me recently to introduce him to the SPQR - line of Games.

I own SPQR 5th Ed., Julius Caesar, Hoplite, GB of Alexander, Cataphract.

Any suggestions with which game to start? I warned him that the Games are not balanced (those who have played them know what I mean).

Don't know why he is asking those questions when he plans to move out. 🤔

Thanks in advance.

Dead men have no names.

A detail from the session of 'Oppidum' by HistoricOne. A skirmish game from Cry Havoc family, this time located in Ancient Gaul, during the period of Julius Caesar.

Every counter has a specific name, but if a soldier gets stunned or lies dead on the ground... maybe the colour of his cloak will remind the player that this used to be Folko or Manno or Claudius.

Poignant.
