I don`t like to rush things as these only came yesturday, but the do seem to sellout quick. and I do think that the reason is they are dam "GOOD". So here`s a very basic and short review. These rules are created to enable solo play, group play, and could be used for a quick show demo game. There is a very good caste AI system for the Aliens and the rules enable any races to be fielded on the board. Board size will vary from figure quantity, but as a good flow chart. RUles them selves use all the basic RPG dice and the whole thing as the feel of a stream lined RPG style of wargame.
Were the game really hits the mark however, is in the, do you want to play Falling Skies types of games. I`ve been collecting figures with just this in mind now for a while. Never picked up a set of "Small rules" before that draw you in. It`s full of building ideas to start the ball rolling a.s.a.p. you will be testing out play as soon as you can with these rules. Yes as your imagination starts to increase you may want more, but by then if the aurthors other works are to go buy, he will give you more.
These rules use a low figure count which to start is great as it gives you chance to really get into creating your game and it will be that , your game. These rules are the building and testing blocks for, War of the Worlds, Collony, Independance Day, etc. You start as in my own project "Falling Skies" did, 17 days into the end of the battle for earth we lost. Now the rag tag lost souls must unite and learn to fight, to form a resistance or die.
I`ve given you just the basics very quickly, I think this little gem of a work will sell out fast, 15 on the morning, on the afternoon after my checking it out I brought the last one. If your cup of tea is a resistance based game, then please do your self a favor give it a try. You`lle enjoy it. Cheers.
