If you play in the era of Horse and Musket, of Napoleon, the colonial wars of the 19th Century, the First World War, the Second World War, or the Cold War and ultramodern, then Doom Squad will slot right in with your figure and rules collection.
SDB01 – Doom Squad
Written by Steve Danes, a new nerve-shredding game of special-forces action that ranges across 300 years of history. From the time of Napoleon through to the trenches of World War One and right up to special-forces operations in the early 21st Century. A small team dropped in against the odds. Doom Squad is meant to be played as a solo game system pitting your team against the game engine. You can also opt for a multi-player game of co-operation of two or several players going up against the game. Your troops will be equipped with the latest high-tech weapons and equipment from their historical or current era; which can mean muskets, rifled carbines, or assault carbines with red-dot sights. It all depends on which period you pick. Rules are very simple and easy-to-use, and are based around the use of one or more six-sided dice to test for firing and close combat. Players will control one or more special-forces squads and will be faced with an enemy that can be tough, disciplined, confused, resolute, unsteady and always unpredictable. This title is 44 pages.
