5150 Space Marine

5150 Space Marine
What:
Sci-Fi Squad/Platoon-size combat
Scale:
Man-to-man combat. 1 figure equals 1 man
Your Role:
Players can command from one Squad to a full Company of infantry.
Playability:
Designed for solo, same side and head to head play.

5150 Star Marine is the fully compatible companion book to 5150 Star Army – 2nd Tour. Both are stand-alone games that share the same mechanics, but where Star Army is all about planet-bound combat, Star Marine covers combat on hostile planets, boarding actions in space, and covert missions in out-of-the-way places.

Inside, you'll find:

  • A man-to-man skirmish combat system that plays fast and yields realistic results.
  • Eighteen different troop types, a variety of factions, and over 100 pre-generated Non-Player Characters.
  • Rules to play out your 5150 Star Navy and 5150 Carrier Command boarding actions.
  • Mechanics to interact with a wide variety of Non-Player Characters that will enhance your story while on, wait for it… Personal Leave!
  • A light-bookkeeping Campaign System that rewards your Characters when they succeed and punishes them when they fail, as well as linking your battles together.
  • An easy to learn and use combat system that enhances, not inhibits, your games.
  • Play with any figures you may already have, or the color paper counters we've included in the game.

All this and much more.

You never ask how many of them there are, just where they are. That's what we do, that's what makes us … Star Marines!
