Working towards this whilst listening to the Ashes this morning-
Painting some figures and scenery for a Sci - Fi skirmish…
Two teams of around eight figures each.
The rules l was keen to try out from the aforementioned compendium.
Divided the chess board into 16 squares and marked them with a red pen. In other words each Square consists of four chessboard squares. Works perfectly well for a try out.
The game under way with me controlling both forces.
Close up of board with cork high ground and cover is provided by a ruined wall in the square. I will play the games to a conclusion tomorrow. It is a fun, simple set of rules easy to learn but very tactically interesting. I can recommend it with enthusiasm to everyone who wants an enjoyable skirmish game. Would work well too in 54mm instead of 28mm . Now where did I put those Airfix sf figures…
I'm following your progress with great interest. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat game and great fun.

ReplyDeleteNice to see a PW game going back to a chessboard! Next time I try the rules I want to use more grids, maybe 6x6 to try to get more movement.
ReplyDeleteYour figures are nice 👍
Terraforming architect was a chess freak l guess. I’ve playing around with the rules a little, not too much at all, just a few things like sniper rifle has greater range and pistol less. Plus bonus for marksman and wee things like that.
DeleteThanks for comment re figures. They are a mix of Perry 15th century plastics with Stargrave heads and weapons. They are folk from a Feudal World who like the late 15th century Gothic vibe ( armour, helmets , swords , clothing and so on) but are happy to use up to date weapons too.

Some excellent sounding ideas Alan - "personalizing" the rules is essential in my opinion.
DeleteI like the mix of periods, very creative.
