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!

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.

Tweaking visuals and updating the physical prototype before the upcoming convention, where 'Toot Toot' may be investigated by fellow hobbyists.

The game about ancient Greek marching bands... that is, hoplites fighting each other and/or Persians on a grid-based map... with sound signals and creating Noise.

The game will be available for closer inspection on GMT Weekend, Saturday 20th April, 2024.

While waiting on the extended Napoleon, I am trying to bring Persians into the game about hoplites, along with the terrain effects.

Polishing rules, charts, cards and modifiers - the work never really ends.

Toot Toot - I hope that I will make something sensible, or at least fun, out of it.

Video recordings underway of At The Court of The Great King.

Demonstrations of 2 player mode and 3p and 4p will be accessible soon on YT.

For now, an image showing the most recent components...

August 1st, like every other year. And April '43 as well. And 'Campo dei Fiori' by Czesław Miłosz.

The picture of Warszawa, also in reconstructed color version.

Independent designing; grid-based project on Ancient Greek battles of Classical Hoplite-dom, where players try to use signals (also know as 'cards') to issue orders to their troops and the troops sometimes do not listen.

Three types of units, three "armies" of Athens, Sparta and Thebes. D6.

Currently in quiet works within confines of TTS Workshop.
