A new mini-supplement is available with options to customize and tailor your games to your tastes.

These options are a mixture of ideas that were tested for various releases and never included officially, as well as brand new options for a new experience.

They're suitable for all FiveCore games and should be adaptable to Five Men at Kursk with minimal difficulty.

*Simplified turn sequence (for non-random turns)

*Bonus actions (A variant of the simplified turn sequence using the action dice to provide bonus actions)

*Careful aim (A new tactical option)

*Ambush (A new option when reacting to nearby movement)

*Terrain movement reduction (A more conventional terrain system)

*Action Point System (A new turn sequence allowing more fine-control over what your characters do each turn)

*Melee dice (Replace the opposed Brawling roll with Kill and Shock dice)

*Observation test (A dice-based spotting system)

*Alternative combat dice (8 new attack dice types to build futuristic and alien weapons, including toxin, web and disintegration)

*Squad traits (A skill system for an entire squad, for quick scenario building)

*Diceless recovery (A non-random method for recovering figures that are Down or Panicked)

*Skill challenges (A simple skill system for roleplay oriented scenarios)

*Battle exhaustion (Put more pressure on your characters in a campaign, forcing you to push them harder or operate below strength)

*Wounds (An in-battle wound table adding bloody detail to your games)

G*******t!!!!! This all sounds so great and you release it right *after* my FiveCore ship combat labour of love!

Seriously though, I don't think anything there will add to my ship game, but it sounds wonderful for our skirmish games!

Some might be adaptable, if the need was there, but definitely aimed more at the man to man stuff.

I suppose an "exhausted" ship is overdue for a refit and general maintenance.

Ivan, your output and creativity never ceases to amaze me.

The kindness of the fan base never ceases to amaze me :-)

Awesome stuff. If I were gaming with more experienced players, this would open a world of possibilities.
