*How to create an absolutely killer gaming board for fantasy wargames like Battle Hack.

*A random generator to create fantasy heroes for any game rules or RPG.

*FiveCore rules expansions to play platoon sized skirmishes.

*Campaign rules for the Battle Hack beta rules from issue 2.

*Industry talk with Michael from Angel Barracks, talking about why you too should be playing 6mm scifi and a little insight in the economics of 6mm vehicle models.

The price is 6.99 as this issue is the biggest we've done yet (just shy of 70 pages).
As an aside, this is also the first time I've managed to get it done on the time frame I originally wanted (last weekend of each month)

Got it man, great stuff, except for all that nasty sci-fi stuff ;)

I'm digging the black powder stuff, need to play thru it to wrap my head around the parrying in close combat though.

And I'm liking stormfront (or whatever it's called, I'm on my phone), but my question is: how do you determine who's a casualty? If there's five in a team and one gets hit, how do you figure out who it is?

Tell Nathaniel good work, but he was supposed to be doing IndoChina scenarios, and tell Michael I will gladly skirmish in 6mm if he makes modern or Napoleonic 6mm ;)

Hah, yeah, this one got kinda scifi heavy. Next month there'll be a lot of scenarios and I have a few things in the sleeve.

Stormcore. Not stormfront.. that's an evil racist website :/
I forgot to add in the casualty allocation. Do the closest guys, unless you want to make it random.

I might see if we can do a bit of indo-china love though. Some rules info for company commander and NEIS, then some scenarios. How's that sound?

Yeah, enough of the sci-fi ;)

Stormcore indeed. Sorry, didn't realize the other, I'm not much for hanging out on evil, racist websites…

Indochina is great, except I don't have any forces for Indochina, sold them off earlier this year due to not using them. Maybe I need to pick some more up :O

Regarding scenarios, for me they don't have to be historically based, just decently thought out progressions of fights (maybe even branched, i.e., if you win go to 2a, if you lose go to 2b) with maps and basic force structures (with variables, i.e., start with 4 elements, roll 1D6 for line units and 1D3 for support units, on this table).

Historical flavor, not necessarily exact historical accuracy.

V/R,
Jack
