A solid idea….I'm always tempted by 6mm…I didn't see/ read too much about 15mm….tango did I miss it? I may have missed it looking at the cool minis.

More realistic goals for funding this time around – In any event, the packs of minis are well worth the cost, and some are not currently available ( Plasmablast, mainly).

I think the rules *can* be used for 15mm games, due to their nature.

From what I read they should work with 15mm as well.

Tango0112 May 2016 10:11 a.m. PST

Yes, they are.

Glad you like them boys.

Talking with the designer here,

link

"Ablative Armor, check. There are also reactive armor, stealth systems, kinetic dampening fields, and anti-missile autoguns. "

Check the Link for more from the Designer.


My Viewpoint:
This System may allow us to play the Armies from Fiction, instead of shoe horning them Fiction into a rule set, you build the Fictional units how you think they should be.

Yes you my have to make compromises to be able to field enough troops, as things like Bolo's are not going to be cheap in points, but you can decide where to do that.

Want Space Marines that match the stories, build them.
Gene Stealers that are fast, hard to hit, hard to kill you can do that.
Eldar that move fast, but are a bit fragile, done.

Want your Orks to face the Aliens from the Movies can do!

You think Space marines work this way your friend builds them a bit different that works as well.

That Book you want to recreate the war from, but no game was made, search the model makers there are many, build it, stat it, and Play IT.

The System should work fine up to including 15mm, from what I have seen and been told.

I hope to use 6 and 15mm to tell a Campaign story, by adding on a Cold War style Campaign, some missions will be with 6mm forces with 100's of folks fighting, some will be one or two squads doing a side mission, in 15mm.

I have no part in this other than a backer, but I see these rules allowing a large number of the stuff I have collected being used on the table.

Will it be perfect, I doubt it, but it looks solid, been tested for a few years not a few months.

For 10USD you get a PDF with the Design rules, in this day 10 bucks for a full rule set is a steal.

Please take a look, if any of that sparked some interest.

Just 9k from funding.

Hope to see you there!

Another backer here. I view this as a gateway drug to 6mm sci-fi gaming. Looks like it will breathe life back into my SJG Ogre miniatures and allow me to test the waters of 6mm sci-fi with low risk. The KS page has a free download of some quick start rules.

Hmmm long time to wait January 2017 expected shipping.

Anyone know if Plasmablast miniatures will be available again soon or are they exclusively tied into this kick starter?

I'm not worried about the January shipping date…it will give me time to finish my other ongoing projects…

Yeah, right… :0)
