"SpecOps missions. Prisoner rescues. Data retrieval. Ambush the enemy, sabotage his equipment and installations. Completing your mission is critical; any casualties are acceptable. Close Quarters: Skirmish, based on our boardgame of the same name, is a fast-paced SciFi miniatures game of small-scale combat operations, suitable for 15mm to 28mm figure scales. Each model represents an individual trooper, vehicle, or crewed weapon; game sizes can range from 12 to 50-60 models (a reinforced platoon of infantry, or a cross attached armored or airborne company), and last from 45 minutes up to a couple of hours

Hmmm
well, that's Science Fiction Gaming, yes, but it's not "Spaceship Gaming." Spaceship Gaming involves spaceships, hence the name. Think Kirk's Enterprise vs. a Klingon D7, or X-wing fighters blasting Imperial TIEs, or the Ko-Dan Armada vs. the Rylan Star League, or Jack Campbell's The Lost Fleet or anything involving spaceships duking it out up in the starry void. Everything else is just dirt crawling. |

Well, if it included starship floor plans, we could give it some slack, but I'm not seeing anything like that. And, even Battlestations had some ship v. ship. Funny, they call it a 'boardgame'. Nothing I've seen, either in the blurb or preview posts, indicates a 'board'. Sort of like some sellers on eBay who, if not floggin' Monopoly, call a game an RPG
There, I've gone even MORE off-topic. ;->= Doug |

Close Quarters is a board game that uses room tiles to simulate starship corridors and rooms. Close Quarters: Skirmish is the game converted to miniatures so as to include vehicles, indirect fire, and a few other things that don't work well on the board tiles due to the game's scale. |

Ah, didn't know about the original game. Thanks! Still, PapaSync wants an evaluation. ;->= Doug |

Sounds interesting. Me, being a Space Hulk junkie and all. Can any one tell me how the board game stacks up against SH. 8) |
