I have just uploaded the latest version of my SciFi game "Another Glorious Day in the Corps" or AGDIC for short. This includes the latest updates and revisions, most notable the final vehicle combat system. It is currently free to download.

It has two levels of play, one for large skirmishes with each player controlling a platoon or two, and one for tactical combats with players controlling a reinforced company. It is a D10 system, and the draft includes a few short army lists to get you started.

The distinct feature of AGDIC is the turn sequence. It is a two-phase turn, and uses a simple orders system. BUT you choose your orders, while your phase is random. So, to tart each turn you roll a die for each unit. Odd and it is a Phase 1 unit, odd it is Phase 2. Roll for initiative and the winner moves his Phase 1 units, followed by his opponents Phase 1 units. Then the winner moves his Phase 2 units followed by his opponent. Units may voluntarily "phase back" switching from Phase 1 to Phase 2 (but no the reverse). This cedes local initiative to your opponent, but allows for greater coordination.

The game includes an easy to administer morale system where by units that take hits gradually lose their ability to engage the enemy before routing. The game also includes suppression rules, and I am sketching out optional rules for Electronic Warfare and other add-on goodies.

Take a look, they are free for download from FlagshipGames.com

I have also created a Facebook group for the rules here:

I was able to connect, however when I tried to checkout, I got a "Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time. Please contact us for alternate arrangements." which seems odd for downloads.

Very interested, but I don't want to give an e-mail address and create yet another account somewhere. Wish that the file was just directly posted somewhere where we can grab it.

Weird, I've had a couple dozen downloads over teh past 24 hours.

I'll look in to the "shipping" issue.

@emckinney: send an email to mark@scalecreep.com and I'll email it to you.
