15mm Skirmish Wargame Rules Set in The Ion Age
15%-Off Pre-Order Until June 1st, 2015, Offer!
Wargame rules for use with 15mm miniatures and models from theionage.com. An enjoyable playing experience in a space opera setting unlike any other. Tactically challenging but not complex, these rules reward players for their playing, and not for the use of endless charts, tables and over-powered characters. Once familiar with the game rules, in a single hour you can play a full game with another person or several, or on your own in solo play. The rules will not take long to learn, and are suitable for wargamers of all ages, from novice to veteran. They are fun, and can be expanded with other titles in the series.
Patrol Angis is a skirmish level of wargame, which means it typically has between a dozen and about 40 15mm scale miniatures per side in play during a game. It works well with more, but those amounts are ideal. Most games have one platoon-sized force per player, and have one or two or maybe even three players. A Platoon or Lance contains typically 22 miniatures. In Patrol Angis, you play either as the Prydian Army in its quest to reclaim worlds lost to the Marcher Barons during the civil war, or you can play in the employ of Canlaster or Yordist or any of the other dozen, smaller array of Marcher Barons. This includes playing as a Conda or paid professional mercenary for any side.
This is a low intensity warfare title where troops, mainly on foot, root each other out over small objectives. It's not massive, not often glamorous, but it's pure adventure – it's the stuff of heroes, and it's skirmishing at its best! Easy to get into and to build upon. It's the starting point for your wargaming in The Ion Age!
In the book, you will find the full skirmishing rules, along with solo play, part one of the Prydian Civil War background game tables, and statistics, troops and armory of the Civil War, the Dando II Campaign and three introductory scenarios set within it, and an article on just what is The Ion Age. A lot to read in a packed 64 pages!
As well as a packed book, you can purchase sets for wargaming. We also offer Patrol Angis as a boxed set, with two forces of miniatures to get you started and to play out the starter scenarios. Here is what is contained in the game pack, and if you take the time to total it up compared to retail price, you will see it's a deal before any other offers are added.
The miniatures in the game pack are all supplied with our round resin bases, as used in all our photographs of miniatures – extra value!
You have the choice of purchasing the book or the game pack pro-painted and based by the Alternative Armies staff. In all cases, you will automatically receive for free the unique Patrol Angis miniature. A Retained Knight Errant! Worth £0.60 GBP. It is supplied with the book or the game pack, and if purchased painted, it will also be painted and based.
