Fireteam Andromeda
Publisher: Two Knights Publishing
Fireteam Andromeda is a dedicated set of rules for 15mm science-fiction games, aimed at roughly a reinforced platoon per side. It has been designed as a quick game, light on the granularity, but heavy on the tactical side.
To promote this tactical gameplay, the game incorporates a very special command and control system. The system represents the overall motivation of the troops as well as the commanders overall ability to formulate tactical plans on the go. As troops are fired upon and take casualties, the commander will find that it becomes harder and harder to keep track of everything and needs to prioritize his actions.
Fireteam Andromeda was also designed as a very light wargame. From the ground up, it was designed around a couple of easy-to-remember core mechanics, which gives a quick and satisfying gameplay experience; almost no charts, and very few modifiers to remember in the heat of battle.
Fireteam Andromeda is intended to be a generic science-fiction wargame, which allows for players to design their own troops, using some very broadly defined unit entries that can be customized to represent almost any miniatures out there on the market today. Customizing your own units is a breeze – and the rules includes point values to allow for pick-up-and-play games.
Fireteam Andromeda is the first in a long series of rulebooks, campaign books and scenario books from Two Knights Publishing, aimed at giving you, the player, with all you will ever need to play science-fiction wargames, in any scale, using any setting and any miniatures that you already have or want to have.
