Brief Description |
Skirmish-level science fiction ground combat game, with detailed background. Though the
primary focus is on human (Nexus) vs. alien (Kryomek) warfare, there is plenty of opportunity
for human-on-human fighting as well. Human forces include convict infantry, assault
troops, cybernetic units, tanks, and striders; weapons include machineguns, cannons,
missiles, and gauss rifles. The Kryomek are biological terrors with
different unit types (helions - close combat troops; warriors - armed with acid and
sword; warmaster - leader and heavy weapons carrier). Each side has differing rules
for unit integrity, command, and morale. Combat can take place on planetary surface, within
human structures, or within alien hives. Rules based on Stargrunt system. |
