With her two fire teams and two robots, newly re-promoted Field Sergeant Eve de la Vega had a manageable span of control of four (each robot was managed as if it were a team). To her left, the Little Corporal (she'd named it Shelly) UGV robot took a fire support position, all the while feeding sensor data to the squad net. The hum of her Buzzkill UAV began as it lifted into the air behind her squad and shot forward. Its sensors probed and added their data to the squad net.
She sent commands to her metal squad mates. Buzzkill climbed, seeking enough altitude to detect rooftop snipers. Shelly crawled forward on nearly silent rubber tracks. When it (she?) neared its 40-yard command radius, Eve sprinted forward toward cover, knowing her human squad members were doing the same.
Squad Buddies is a set of three autonomous vehicles in three color schemes: (1) the UGV Little Corporal with heavy weapons; (2) the UAV Buzzkill, the aerial scout with light weapons; and (3) the little UAV Wingman, an unarmed forward scout. Easy to assemble, cheap to create and populate your skirmish battle zones, Squad Buddies will give your sci-fi squads extra punch and eyes.
Comes with a five-page guide for using the Squad Buddies in your games.
Remember, every Finger and Toe model comes with smoosh assurance: if ya'll smoosh your Squad Buddies, a new one waits your summons from hard drive and printer.
Squad Buddies is available from rpgnow.com or wargamevault.com for $1.50 USD.
