In 2009 the lads at Alternative Armies decided to play some 15mm games (sci-fi, fantasy and some renaissance scenarios too) to get us used to and into the whole scale and feel of 15mm miniatures. We did not have any rule systems of our own to use for this scale or settings and though we looked at some of the other systems out there, with a view of getting one or two in to try, we decided in the end not to. Not because we only wanted to play our own rules, far from it. I had played over thirty different games that I had no hand in designing. Rather it was due to the fact that we were all knackered (read this as 'beat' if you are American!) and we wanted something easy, something super fast, something generic and something that we could learn in five minutes and get a game in when we had twenty minutes spare. Oh and some of us wanted a system that was open enough for our children or total new comers to the hobby to be able get into and not be scared off by. I drafted up the original concepts and soon we were lasering, lightening bolting and glorifying ourselves with a lot of satisfaction. Over time this original draft was tinkered with and other variants produced for other settings and scales until back in May 2010 it was suggested to me that we might want to let others in on this 'secret' engine that our own lads were using for just about anything that wasn't Flintloque or The Ion Age. I agreed and here we are. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME game system\u003c\/strong\u003e. You will need some miniatures, some terrain and a few six sided dice (D6's) to play the game. This is not much and indeed most of the time everything in play needs only 1D6 roll to make a decision. In the game all miniatures and vehicles are de-marked into of CHARACTERS (from Infantry to Vehicles, to Flyers and everything else) and these into TYPES which allow you to create anything you want in science fiction with a few tables of TYPES with points costs attached. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Turn Sequence of the game follows a simple path of firstly the Initiative Phase where all players roll 1D6 and the highest roll wins the initiative for the turn (important later on!). Then the main part of the turn, the In Play Phase where all characters in the game are activated not by the side upon which they fight but by their Elan Rating. This means better troops and vehicles move and fight before poorer quality troops and vehicles and within each Elan banding from 6 to 1 activation begins with the initiative holding player. When activated each character can choose TWO actions, these include move, ranged fire, melee, hunker down, special action, unique action. The character may choose two different actions OR the same one twice with a modifier; very flexible in battle. Ranged fire and melee are based on opposed single D6 rolls with modifiers for troop type and weapon ratings. This super fast system results in targets being Killed, Struck or Winged by attacks. Killed removes them from play while the other two results negatively effect their further performance in the game. The hunker down action allows characters to take cover against attack while special actions cover those things detailed in the USE ME Advanced Rules and unique actions are created when needed for a scenario. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn small games of USE ME every character acts on its own, this is a skirmish, but in larger games a simple mechanic allows you to combine three to ten characters into one SQUAD which then acts under its leader in play. All actions for squads are no more complex than for single characters. In this fashion you can go from ten miniatures a side to one hundred in ten squads and have a battle that takes only a fraction more time to play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME advanced rules\u003c\/strong\u003e. The core game is easy to grasp and provides what is needed for play but we have also included some extra material for players to use if they so wish. These are covered firstly in the Off Table Action Phase and cover long range artillery support, high level air support and orbital support too. They also cover the insertion of drop troops on to the table. Secondly a page of Special Actions are given which for an additional cost you can apply to your chosen characters. Energy Shields, Auto Repair, Sniper and Hero class are all there to make the character a bit more resilient in play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter the USE ME game finishes\u003c\/strong\u003e. Most of the time you will want to play a quick game, cause some carnage and send a lot of little metal men to their dooms. But it need not be the end if you want to carry on. USE ME has mechanics in it for updating your Force Roster (with your troops on it from the game just finished) to see what happened to those characters who were Struck or Winged in play to see if they recover in time for the next encounter. This makes rolling those dice nail biting and really important for the next scenario. Plus you can make a second lot of rolls for any characters Killed in play to see if a slim chance of them rejoining your forces for the next game. A simple system for linking games together follows and then a page containing narrative approaches to forming a whole campaign and ideas of how to do it. The end of the game on the table is just the start. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying USE ME on your Own\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the last few years the importance of solo play wargaming has grown into being a central tenant of many game systems. With this in mind, especially for this game which is fast and quick to play, we decided to import and adapt the excellent solo bolt on mechanics from Flintloque 3rd edition published by Alternative Armies. This solo play bolt on allows you to play as the attacker or defender with ratings for Aggressive, Neutral or Defensive opponents combined with simple guides to the sorts of behaviour that any character type will adopt when attacked or making an attack. This adds up to a game where playing solo is easy and fun no matter what kind of mission you have in mind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Endless Settings of USE ME\u003c\/strong\u003e. One of the core ideas for this game system was to make it capable of carrying out skirmishes, battles and campaigns in ANY science fiction or near future setting allowing players to import any and all of their own ideas or those from Books, Television or Film into play. The character types table allows you to set your miniatures, your ideas, your setting to the game with little trouble. Just choose the Elan Rating, the Weapons, the Movement rates etc for each of your miniatures and vehicles and fill out a force roster with their names and statistics; as simple as that. Vast future cities, interstellar wars, post apocalyptic nightmares and all else between USE ME can do them all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSE ME is a pocket rule system that does not pretend to be anything else. Its fast, its fun and its affordable.

After science fiction the next logical place to go is High Fantasy, after all its what many wargamers play and love as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI began with an idea and the manuscript of the first book and set to work. With the help of Elton Waters and Bob Minadeo plus some in house testing too I developed a fantasy mechanic that is really actually rather super on the table. Keeping in mind that being short of gaming time meant we and most of the players who would want this game were knackered (read as 'beat' if you are American) and being generic was vital to allow the use of any and all of your collection of miniatures was also vital we came up with USE ME 15mm Fantasy. Skirmish and Mass Battle in one place suitable for the most veteran player and the total novice and tactically motivated not sales price of product. Interested....read on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME game system for 15mm Fantasy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will need some miniatures, some terrain and a few six sided dice (D6's) to play the game. This is not much and indeed most of the time everything in play needs only 1D6 roll to make a decision. In the game all miniatures, monsters and siege engines and so forth are de-marked into of CHARACTERS and these into TYPES which allow you to create anything you want in a fantasy setting with a few tables of TYPES with points costs attached. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Turn Sequence of the game follows a simple path of firstly the Initiative Phase where all players roll 1D6 and the highest roll wins the initiative for the turn (important later on!). Then the main part of the turn, the In Play Phase where all characters in the game are activated not by the side upon which they fight but by their Elan Rating. This means better troops move and fight before poorer quality troops and within each Elan banding from 6 to 1 activation begins with the initiative holding player. When activated each character can choose TWO actions, these include move, ranged fire, melee, defend, special action, unique action. The character may choose two different actions OR the same one twice with a modifier; very flexible in battle. Ranged fire and melee are based on opposed single D6 rolls with modifiers for troop type and weapon ratings. This super fast system results in targets being Killed, Struck or Winged by attacks. Killed removes them from play while the other two results negatively effect their further performance in the game. The defend action allows characters to take cover against attack while special actions cover those things detailed in the USE ME Advanced Rules and unique actions are created when needed for a scenario. The USE ME Advanced Rules cover off table actions such as bonuses and attacks at a battlefield level plus advanced mechanics for giving your Personalities extra skills for being a General, Hero, Cleric or a Wizard. There is a full magic system with four 'schools' to choose from. There are character traits which give your troops abilities that make them more Savage or more Nimble or Rage Filled etc. This tailors to different fantasy racial types. That covers the skirmish level of the rules which means from a handful to a couple of dozen characters but what of the battle level of the USE ME Fantasy rules? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt is at the battle level that these rules really flex their muscles with whole formations of troops marching into a maelstrom that can make use of more than a hundred miniatures per player with ease. To take the rules to the battle level the 'Rule of Three' is brought into play and nifty it is too!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll miniatures are based as singles (its what you all asked for to end the tyranny of differing basing conventions) and to turn these individuals into 'formations' (the USE ME term for Units of any size) the Rule of Three is used. make a Formation you need THREE characters to command it, these are typically an officer, a standard bearer and a musician of your chosen racial and troop type. These three become the COMMAND THREE of the Formation and remain at its core until the formation is destroyed or the game ends or you elect to dissolve the formation. You then add Characters to the command core of the formation in sets of THREE at a time. Each set of three is placed in base to base contact with the Command Three building out from it as you go so the command ends up in the centre of the formation. There are different types of formations that have different functions but you can build formations up to any size you want for big regiments in big battles. Formations move as one though injured characters can fall behind and get separated (which is very dangerous as normal infantry or cavalry are automatically killed by formations if touched or attacked) and perform attacks based on every three characters in the formation. This allows attacks to be split or focused especially for ranged attacks. Formation melee involves a clash of ranks with the attacks of the front two ranks being counted and you can literally 'grind down' formations and even feed in more troops to the rear of the formation, adding them to bolster its numbers. Injuries in a formation can be assigned to miniatures at the players discretion allowing unparalleled choice in which ranks of your formation are hurt and killed by attacks. This is a very tactical and entertaining way to battle and can enact the largest of conflicts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter the USE ME game finishes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the time you will want to play a quick game, cause some carnage and send a lot of little metal men to their dooms. But it need not be the end if you want to carry on. USE ME has mechanics in it for updating your Force Roster (with your troops on it from the game just finished) to see what happened to those characters who were Struck or Winged in play to see if they recover in time for the next encounter. This makes rolling those dice nail biting and really important for the next scenario. Plus you can make a second lot of rolls for any characters Killed in play to see if a slim chance of them rejoining your forces for the next game. A simple system for linking games together follows and then a page containing narrative approaches to forming a whole campaign and ideas of how to do it. The end of the game on the table is just the start. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Endless Settings of USE ME.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the core ideas for this game system was to make it capable of carrying out skirmishes, battles and campaigns in ANY fantasy setting allowing players to import any and all of their own ideas or those from Books, Television or Film into play. The character types table allows you to set your miniatures, your ideas, your setting to the game with little trouble. Just choose the Elan Rating, the Weapons, the Movement rates etc for each of your miniatures and fill out a force roster with their names and statistics; as simple as that. Wars over Magic Rings, Campaigns against Orcs, Pale faced Elves and more...USE ME can do them all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSE ME is a pocket rule system that does not pretend to be anything else.

If you would like to know more about the origins of the USE ME system then refer to UM001 where you can find out all about it. After hundreds of messages and requests it's now time for the third step. After science fiction and then fantasy battles, the next and most requested place to go is World War Two. One of the most popular historical settings for wargaming.   So here we are!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe writer of the adapted WW2 version of USE ME is O.G.Joel who is an avid fan of wargaming in across the battlefields of the second world war from the earliest starts in the Spanish Civil War right through the fall of Stalingrad and then the Invasion of Europe and the destruction of Berlin. Between him and all of us at 15mm.co.uk we decided that the popular USE ME game system was ideally suited to fast play WW2 in 15mm to 20mm scale; from a few figures a side to squad level and also battle. The game can do all of this and in every theatre of the biggest war in human history. It will work with any collection of WW2 miniatures and vehicles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME game system.\u003c\/strong\u003e You will need some miniatures, some terrain and a few six sided dice (D6's) to play the game.

The hunker down action allows characters to take cover against attack while special actions cover those things detailed in the USE ME Advanced Rules and unique actions are created when needed for a scenario. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn small games of USE ME every character acts on its own, this is a skirmish, but in larger games a simple mechanic allows you to combine three to ten characters into one SQUAD which then acts under its leader in play. All actions for squads are no more complex than for single characters. In this fashion you can go from ten miniatures a side to one hundred in ten squads and have a battle that takes only a fraction more time to play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME advanced rules.\u003c\/strong\u003e The central tenant of the USE ME World War Two system is simplicity and in that regard it performs very well but sometimes players will want to add some advanced rules that, while adding complexity, also add to the period feel of the second world war. An Off Table Action Phase adds abstract high level air and artillery support while the option of inserting further forces once the game begins is also covered. For WW2 in detail the Special Actions place additions to characters for 'Anti-Aircraft', 'Anti-Tank', 'Commissar', 'Communications Specialist', 'Flamethrower', 'Medic' and 'Partizan' among other bolt on specialisations. This is followed by Special Character Types allowing 'Cavalry', 'Aircraft' and 'Dog Mines' along with 'Trains' and 'Wagons' for more unique scenarios on the table. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing on from the advanced rules and additional character types are the unique WW2 mechanics for the game system including 'Firing for Suppression and Advanced Machine Gun Rules'. Then a random movement and action system for including panicked Civilians in your games of USE ME. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter the USE ME game finishes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most of the time you will want to play a quick game, cause some carnage and send a lot of little metal men to their dooms.

To learn about the other titles in the USE ME family please refer to UM001 and others by searching our website. It is now time for the fourth title in the series and by popular request we present O.G.Joel's modern warfare rules suitable for use with 15mm to 20mm scale miniatures and vehicles. We are bringing USE ME into the present day! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor of the fantastic adaptation of USE ME for the UM003 World War Two rules O.G.Joel has done it again with a set of rules that is intended for ultra-modern games set in the first decades of the 21st century, from Afghanistan to Iraq to Lebanon to Southern Ossetia and beyond. In writing it, it is envisioning combat in today's turbulent world, with high tech equipped units fighting each other or skirmishing with lightly-armed insurgents. This is a world of helicopters and assault rifles, night-vision devices and satellite uplinks, special-forces units and sophisticated terrorists. Many battles await from a few characters a side to whole squads upwards to a major battle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME game system.\u003c\/strong\u003e You will need some miniatures, some terrain and a few six sided dice (D6's) to play the game. This is not much and indeed most of the time everything in play needs only 1D6 roll to make a decision. In the game all miniatures and vehicles are de-marked into of CHARACTERS (from Infantry to Vehicles and everything else) and these into TYPES which allow you to create anything you want from this period with a few tables of TYPES with points costs attached. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Turn Sequence of the game follows a simple path of firstly the Initiative Phase where all players roll 1D6 and the highest roll wins the initiative for the turn (important later on!). Then the main part of the turn, the In Play Phase where all characters in the game are activated not by the side upon which they fight but by their Elan Rating. This means better troops and vehicles move and fight before poorer quality troops and vehicles and within each Elan banding from 6 to 1 activation begins with the initiative holding player. When activated each character can choose TWO actions, these include move, ranged fire, melee, hunker down, special action, unique action. The character may choose two different actions OR the same one twice with a modifier; very flexible in battle. Ranged fire and melee are based on opposed single D6 rolls with modifiers for troop type and weapon ratings. This super fast system results in targets being Killed, Struck or Winged by attacks. Killed removes them from play while the other two results negatively effect their further performance in the game. The hunker down action allows characters to take cover against attack while special actions cover those things detailed in the USE ME Advanced Rules and unique actions are created when needed for a scenario. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn small games of USE ME every character acts on its own, this is a skirmish, but in larger games a simple mechanic allows you to combine three to ten characters into one SQUAD which then acts under its leader in play. All actions for squads are no more complex than for single characters. In this fashion you can go from ten miniatures a side to one hundred in ten squads and have a battle that takes only a fraction more time to play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME advanced rules.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the part of the system that really brings in the Modern feel. An Off Table Action Phase adds abstract high level air, artillery and satellite support while the option of inserting further forces once the game begins is also covered. For detail the Special Actions place additions to characters for 'Anti-Aircraft', 'Anti-Tank', 'Medics', 'Communications Specialist', 'Suicide Bomber', 'Reactive Armour', 'Night Vision', 'Imported Insurgent' and 'Minesweeper' among other bolt on specialisations. This is followed by Special Character Types allowing Helicopters, Night Fighting, Minefields and Aircraft too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing on from the advanced rules are some special mechanics for the inclusion of The Media making taking the eye of the world into account in combat. Also random movement and action for Panic and Civilians. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter the USE ME game finishes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most of the time you will want to play a quick game, cause some carnage and send a lot of little metal men to their dooms. But it need not be the end if you want to carry on. USE ME has mechanics in it for updating your Force Roster (with your troops on it from the game just finished) to see what happened to those characters who were Struck or Winged in play to see if they recover in time for the next encounter. This makes rolling those dice nail biting and really important for the next scenario. Plus you can make a second lot of rolls for any characters Killed in play to see if a slim chance of them rejoining your forces for the next game. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Endless Settings of USE ME.\u003c\/strong\u003e One of the main features of USE ME Modern Warfare is the detailed Army Lists that make up a third of the booklet. Listing and detailing the modern armies of the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany and many more in the West along with Russian Federation and the People Republic of China and the forces of both Korea's, Afghanistan and the Taliban. Rounding them out are generic lists for third world, insurgents, terrorists and even police forces. All listed by unit type and then USE ME equivalent so that you can place any unit accurately into balanced play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolo Play in USE ME.\u003c\/strong\u003e This booklet contains a solo play system which means that when no human opponent is present or if you want a practise you are able to do this alone and at a time of your choosing. The solo play addition allows forces to be fielded and statures chosen to determine their behaviours against your actions in game. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSE ME is a pocket rule system that does not pretend to be anything else.

Tactically challenging, easy to learn and for any age of wargamer. From skirmish to full battles, games last from five minutes to an hour.

You can learn about the other titles in the USE ME series by looking at our website but in terms of this title our aim was to produce a set of mechanics that would allow ACW wargamers to achieve several goals with one affordable title. A set of rules that could cover skirmish gaming as well as massed battles. A set which would allow the visceral experience of single based characters being removed from regiments under fire but would also allow miniatures based upon 'elements' to be used as well. Truly broad and versatile. We think that Gavin Syme has achieved this with UM005. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor of the USE ME science fiction and fantasy rules sets Gavin Syme wanted to bring those ideas on-board with ACW but also to do more with it. Enlisting the help of veteran ACW wargamer Kurt Benson a set of mechanics were distilled that capture the glory, the horror and the intense action of not only battlefields like Gettysburg but also small actions too. Integrating a unique mechanism for allowing single or element based miniatures to act in the same way in play made the rules set something really different but also really easy to use with any ACW collection. Now the War between the States can be played USE ME style, ten to a thousand miniatures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME game system.\u003c\/strong\u003e You will need some miniatures, some terrain and a few six sided dice (D6's) to play the game.

The rules assume miniatures are on single bases but intuitive mechanics are present that allow element bases (bases with multiple miniatures on them) to be used also with no added complexity. Either or both at the same time. Indeed a battle with element bases plays even faster! Use all your collection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME advanced rules.\u003c\/strong\u003e This part of the system really brings in the American Civil War feel.

Detailed special actions follow covering 'Shortages' which allow you to play with forces that could run out of ammunition. Also a series of 'Traits' for both the Union and Confederate sides to allow personalisation of characters and regiments. The rules then cover Observation Balloons, Gatling Guns and the Telegraph. All for adding flavour and oddities to your games. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing on from this is a section with 'Famous Formations' which gives typical and named formations from the North and the South.

We have gone through a core science fiction set of rules and several historical ones plus ventured into space but now we go into a near and bleak future; that of the Post Apocalypse. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturning to the USE ME stable is author O.G.Joel, who has penned among other things USE ME World War Two. He had an interest in the aftermath of a man made, natural or supernatural event that would end our world and bring about a nightmare world of scavengers and technological warlords. This interest and knowledge resulted in these rules. Fast play rules based on the D6 USE ME engine that would suit 15mm scale miniatures (though it will work with smaller or larger scales with ease). From a few personalities in small scenario to squad level with battles involving a hundred or more character including vehicles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe USE ME game system. You will need some miniatures, some terrain and a few six sided dice (D6's) to play the game. This is not much and indeed most of the time everything in play needs only 1D6 roll to make a decision. In the game all miniatures and vehicles are de-marked into of CHARACTERS (from Infantry to Vehicles and everything else) and these into TYPES which allow you to create anything you want from this period with a few tables of TYPES with points costs attached. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Turn Sequence of the game follows a simple path of firstly the Initiative Phase where all players roll 1D6 and the highest roll wins the initiative for the turn (important later on!). Then the main part of the turn, the In Play Phase where all characters in the game are activated not by the side upon which they fight but by their Elan Rating. This means better troops and vehicles move and fight before poorer quality troops and vehicles and within each Elan banding from 6 to 1 activation begins with the initiative holding player. When activated each character can choose TWO actions, these include move, ranged fire, melee, hunker down, special action, unique action. The character may choose two different actions OR the same one twice with a modifier; very flexible in battle. Ranged fire and melee are based on opposed single D6 rolls with modifiers for troop type and weapon ratings. This super fast system results in targets being Killed, Struck or Winged by attacks. Killed removes them from play while the other two results negatively effect their further performance in the game. The hunker down action allows characters to take cover against attack while special actions cover those things detailed in the USE ME Advanced Rules and unique actions are created when needed for a scenario. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn small games of USE ME every character acts on its own, this is a skirmish, but in larger games a simple mechanic allows you to combine three to ten characters into one SQUAD which then acts under its leader in play. All actions for squads are no more complex than for single characters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME advanced rules.\u003c\/strong\u003e After the rules engine for the game come the advanced rules which give a real flavour of the Post Apocalyptic setting including twenty one character profiles that specialise your character for play. These include Gas Masks, Hazmat Suits, EMP Pulse Protection, Night Vision and Poison Gas among others. Then unique rules for Psionic Abilities among Mutants including telekinesis and mind domination. Following this are unique rules for Contamination in play, Minefields and Rad-Pits. All of these are useful and full of the flavour of fighting in a world destroyed by a cataclysmic event. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFactions of a Wasted World.\u003c\/strong\u003e The rules set is rounded off with seven army lists which give suggested forces for the kind of armies you would see in a Post Apocalypse setting. These are only suggestions but they give you an excellent jumping off point for your scenarios. They include Scavengers, Mutants, Machine Minds, Knights of the Relics, Cultists and more. The booklet includes suggested miniatures and pictures from the 15mm.co.uk range including HOF75 Wasteland Uber Goons, HOF56 and HOF74 Cultists and SHM22 The Controller among others.

From a few personalities in small scenario to squad (called teams) level with battles involving a hundred or more characters including vehicles. USE ME Zombie Dawn achieves all of this and more. Read on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME game system engine.\u003c\/strong\u003e You will need some Zombie and Modern period miniatures, some terrain and a few six sided dice (D6's) to play the game. This is not much and indeed most of the time everything in play needs only 1D6 roll to make a decision. In the game all miniatures and vehicles are de-marked into of CHARACTERS (from Mortals to Vehicles and various Zombies) and these into TYPES which allow you to create anything you want with a few tables of TYPES with points costs attached. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Turn Sequence of the game follows a simple path of firstly the Initiative Phase where all players roll 1D6 and the highest roll wins the initiative for the turn (important later on!). Then the main part of the turn, the Mortal Phase where all characters in the game are activated not by the side upon which they fight but by their Elan Rating. This means better troops and vehicles move and fight before poorer quality troops and vehicles and within each Elan banding from 6 to 1 activation begins with the initiative holding player. When activated each character can choose TWO actions, these include move, ranged fire, melee, hypertense, special action, unique action. The character may choose two different actions OR the same one twice with a modifier; very flexible in battle. Ranged fire and melee are based on opposed single D6 rolls with modifiers for troop type and weapon ratings. This super fast system results in targets being Killed, Struck or Winged by attacks. Killed removes them from play while the other two results negatively effect their further performance in the game. The hypertense action allows characters to become super aware of potential Undead attack and gain a bonus. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLastly there is the Zombie Birth Phase which is only in this incarnation of USE ME and allows for the rise of newly created Undead from the bodies of those mortals killed in the previous turn. This makes play rather tense and it includes a 'mercy' action to prevent your former friends from becoming shufflers. Special actions cover those things detailed in the USE ME Advanced Rules and unique actions are created when needed for a scenario. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn small games of USE ME every character acts on its own, this is a skirmish, but in larger games a simple mechanic allows you to combine three to ten characters into one TEAM which then acts under its leader in play. All actions for teams are no more complex than for single characters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME advanced rules.\u003c\/strong\u003e After the rules engine for the game come the advanced rules which give a real flavour of the Zombie Dawn setting including twelve character profiles that specialise your character for play; both mortal and zombie. These include specialist Zombie Hunting Weapons, Flamethrowers, Munchkins, Lunge and Bite and others. Following this are special character types which include Meat Rack and Lawnmower (both kinds of vehicles that can attract and cut through hordes of the living dead) plus Aircraft, Cavalry and more. The points and costs tables include all you need for mortals, vehicles, weapons and also four different kinds of Undead from the slow Zombie to the rabid and rapid Zombie and also much larger lab creations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExample Forces Lists.\u003c\/strong\u003e The rules set contains comparisons of vehicles and personalities common in Zombie fiction to terms in the game and this is followed by example characters for Townsfolk, Law Enforcement, The Army, Special Forces and The Zombies. These allow you to get a feel for your setting and to get into the action quickly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZombie Solo Survivor Engine.\u003c\/strong\u003e This core feature of USE ME Zombie Dawn gives you a simple and robust set of solo play rules that allow you to put the Undead into your game when you are playing on your own. Including mechanics for 'attraction' to the living, reacting to sound and movement, forming hordes and so on. This means you can have a solo game where the Zombies begin scattered but will react to your actions and converge on you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCampaign Play and Campaign Settings.\u003c\/strong\u003e Following on from the Solo Survivor rules is a section which allows you to to see what happened to those characters who were Struck or Winged in play to see if they recover in time for the next encounter. This makes rolling those dice nail biting and really important for the next scenario. Plus you can make a second lot of rolls for any characters Killed in play to see if a slim chance of them rejoining your forces for the next game. After this comes THREE settings for your games of USE ME Zombie Dawn. Each gives you a typical place, scenario forces, aims and objective and ideas for following up. The three settings deal with the stages of the dead coming to life in our world. Initial Outbreak where there are only a few Zombies and local folk and police try to contain them. The Coming of the Hunters which deals with special forces trying to combat a growing Undead menace which is almost out of control. The Last Stand which is a full on battle between the army and hordes of Zombies in a conflict to decide the fate of mankind in a place such as the Brooklyn Bridge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSE ME is a pocket rule system that does not pretend to be anything else. Its fast, its fun and its affordable. With many rule systems these days taking themselves far too seriously and with some being priced at an amount that makes purchasing them a long term goal for most of us USE ME gives you what it promises and in a format that will make you smile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHERE IS A RUN DOWN OF JUST WHAT YOU GET IN THE BOOKLET.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrontis Page pg1 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduction and Contents pg2 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Zombie Dawn and Fiction pg3 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat you need to Play pg4 -5 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe USE ME Rules pg6-16 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSE ME Advanced Rules pg16-19 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCharacter Creation and Costs pg19-22 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExample Force Lists pg23 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZombie Solo Survivor Engine pg24-25 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBetween Games pg26 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Three Settings of a Zombie War pg27-30 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCampaign Ideas and Force Roster pg31 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe USE ME Series pg32 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMINIATURE RANGES SUITABLE FOR PRODUCT:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can make use of any manufacturers ranges of miniatures suited to the Zombie Dawn setting and your scenarios.

It is important to mention this as the removal of all the game mechanics has made space for all of these sections. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst off the bat is a short 'Designers Notes' page where Kurt outlines how the Support Pack works and also how it came about from sources such as Alternative Armies 'MOTH' squad level science fiction rules set in the Ion Age. Right on the heels of this is 'Strategy 101' where the overarching approach to tabletop battles is covered by reference to why combatants fight and how gaming groups should handle this. Guidelines for bunkers and also alterations to points costs in USE ME for set up's that favour the attacker or defender. All you need to get you to the table with your platoon, army or squad. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext is 'Tactics 101' where discussion takes place as to how your own and the opponents force relates to each other and how this might come out in missions and on the wargames table. The book then outlines mission types such as 'move to engage', 'blitzkrieg', 'fighting withdrawal', 'hostage', 'ambush', 'Patrol' and 'Raid'. Each of these mission templates tells you how they work and how points values, terrain, objectives and more can be altered to fit that template. All of this gets you set up and playing for an objective without the need for head scratching. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter Kurt has got you on the table and given you a mission to fight out he then proceeds to discuss 'Building the Props', that is how to make easy and affordable terrain for your wargaming. From the raw materials to the tools to use for the construction of Hills, Flocking, Roads, Rivers, Sand and also simple buildings too. Vital knowledge from a very experienced wargamer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaying the Board comes next and gives the reader a simple but ingenuous system to look any a wargame table and divide it into nine quadrants which can then be filled with your terrain and miniatures as per your Tactics and Strategy choices. Basic rules for the use of the centre quadrant for objectives are followed by detailed sections concerning City Fights. Kurt makes the analogy of the a City to a Human Body. With the Heart, the Soul, the Hands, Head, Gut and Legs all covering different parts of a city such as docks or a spaceport and ways to fight over them. After this the same treatment is given to Small Towns, Open Ground, Rainforest, Glaciers, Deserts and more. While the book is mainly aimed as historical or near future warfare there are also parts given over to science fiction with High Oxygen Atmos, Toxic, Thin Atmosphere, High or Low Gravity environments and how they are played out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow that the troops and the ground are all sorted out it is time to look to the skies! USE ME Support Pack contains a full Weather System for giving your games that added element of complication and or realism. Weather is explained and its game influences given including the effects of Tornado's, Ice, Dust Devils and more such as Blizzards. This part of the book ends with four weather tables for random generation based on temperatures from hot to temperate then cold and then frozen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSE ME Support Pack is pocket sized and packed full.

But despair not! We refer not to the real world but instead to that of the thirteenth (no coincidence!) title in the USE ME series...An Eldritch Horror. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis title was born out of a fire of creativity in only a few weeks in a joint effort by O.G.Joel and G.B.Syme and given the thirteenth code in the series, as befits it, in response to a growing number of wargamers requests for a simple system to cover this genre of cosmic horror. The D6 engine is fast play and well suited to 15mm scale miniatures. Lead your party of characters against cultists, against insidious forces and against the Elder Gods themselves...but will you or madness prevail?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDo you like the EH01 Flower of Evil shown here (not included)?  Get it \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.15mm.co.uk\/products\/eh01-flower-of-evil\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Flower of Evil\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME game system\u003c\/strong\u003e. You will need some miniatures, some terrain and a few six sided dice (D6's) to play the game. This is not much and indeed most of the time everything in play needs only 1D6 roll to make a decision. In the game all miniatures and vehicles are de-marked into of CHARACTERS (from Infantry to Vehicles and everything else) and these into TYPES which allow you to create anything you want from this period with a few tables of TYPES with points costs attached. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Turn Sequence of the game follows a simple path of firstly the Initiative Phase where all players roll 1D6 and the highest roll wins the initiative for the turn (important later on!). Then the main part of the turn, the In Play Phase where all characters in the game are activated not by the side upon which they fight but by their Elan Rating. This means better troops and vehicles move and fight before poorer quality troops and vehicles and within each Elan banding from 6 to 1 activation begins with the initiative holding player. When activated each character can choose TWO actions, these include move, ranged fire, melee, hunker down, special action, unique action. The character may choose two different actions OR the same one twice with a modifier; very flexible in battle. Ranged fire and melee are based on opposed single D6 rolls with modifiers for troop type and weapon ratings. This super fast system results in targets being Killed, Struck or Winged by attacks. Killed removes them from play while the other two results negatively effect their further performance in the game. The hunker down action allows characters to take cover against attack while special actions cover those things detailed in the USE ME Advanced Rules and unique actions are created when needed for a scenario. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn small games of USE ME every character acts on its own, this is a skirmish, but in larger games a simple mechanic allows you to combine three to ten characters into one TEAM which then acts under its leader in play. All actions are no more complex than for single characters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe USE ME advanced rules.\u003c\/strong\u003e After the rules engine for the game come the advanced rules which give a real flavour of the Eldritch setting. These include Summoning Beings From Beyond, rules for Madness among characters, a dozen or so special rules for creatures (such as Mass of Eyes, Acid Blood etc), special rules for sorcery and spells and also how to create and use Atrefacts in play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Eldritch Character Tables.\u003c\/strong\u003e A rugged points and character creation system is given in the book which includes two sets of tables, one for mortals or humans and the other for 'horrors'. These horrors include all of the creatures and elder gods that come under the mythos of the game setting. Between these two tables you can build almost any character. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBritish Isles Army Lists.\u003c\/strong\u003e This title is set in a fictional Britain of the 1930's and as such it supplies you with suggested force lists that suit this setting. These are only suggested lists but they give you a jumping off point for your scenarios and campaigns. These lists include The British Army, the British Police, Investigators, Cultists, Eldritch Gods and Beings, Gillmen, Undead, Aliens and Servants of the Cephalopod God. Each of these lists also gives some background and setting along with a few suggested miniatures to use from the HOF and other ranges. You can find all of these on the 15mm.co.uk website but of course you can use any miniatures you want from your collection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter the USE ME game finishes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most of the time you will want to play a quick game, cause some carnage and send a lot of little metal men to their dooms. But it need not be the end if you want to carry on. USE ME has mechanics in it for updating your Force Roster (with your characters on it from the game just finished) to see what happened to those characters who were Struck or Winged in play to see if they recover in time for the next encounter. This makes rolling those dice nail biting and really important for the next scenario. Plus you can make a second lot of rolls for any characters Killed in play to see if a slim chance of them rejoining your forces for the next game. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSolo Play in USE ME.

The period also shows signs of the beginnings of modern warfare with the introduction of the firearm and the tactical developments that went with it. Armies struggled to find a way of incorporating this new technology into traditional practises. Much time was spent experimenting and introducing new battlefield tactics - and yet the tried and tested methods of medieval warfare continued to produce spectacular victories. Few could stand against the awesome charge of the French Gendarmes nor face the ferocious onslaught of the Swiss pike-square. Despite this, warfare did evolve during this period. The arquebus and musket replaced the bow and crossbow, knights began to put aside their lances and take up the pistol. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlready the nature of pike \u0026amp; shot warfare that would dominate the seventeenth century was already beginning to take shape by the end of this period. Furioso is designed to re-create large scale battles such as those fought at Fornovo, Cerignola, Bicocca, Dreux, Moncontour, Clontibret, Yellow Ford, Ivry - to name but a few! Players will find themselves commanding or at least trying to command the armies of the period. Players will quickly realise that some of their forces have minds of their own. Gendarmes are likely to charge off at the earliest opportunity - even if this means an entirely unsuitable enemy in terrain not exactly suited to the fully armoured knight. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayers may wish to try and soften up an enemy before unleashing their Swiss pike squares but they will rarely get the opportunity. Impatient Swiss units are likely to have closed with the enemy before a cannon shot is fired - even if that means charging across terrain that is likely to disorder their densely packed ranks. More defensive minded players can protect their armies with extensive earthworks that will disrupt the enemies attack and provide valuable cover from enemy fire. However, players may find that the enemy are not happy to wait for these constructions to be completed and will launch surprise attacks before such works are finished. And of course, in a time when increasing numbers of mercenaries where employed, players will need to make sure that sufficient care is taken to avoid last minute pay disputes, strikes, mutiny’s and all of the other trials that would complicate the lives of sixteenth century commanders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurioso can be fought using any scale figures from 6mm to 28mm. The rules themselves have a very simple system at their heart. If you want to do anything you need to roll a d6, a score of five or more will achieve success, a score of four or lower means failure. Modifiers are applied but this is to the number of dice rolled to achieve success and not the score required. Success will therefore be measured by the number of successful scores achieved. At the start of a turn, players will roll one Initiative die for each unit, better quality and motivated units will receive a bonus to this score, poor quality unit’s a deduction. Units will be activated in sequence with the highest scoring unit going first followed buy lower scoring units - and units that score zero or less won’t be doing anything! This means that play will pass from unit to unit rather than one side activating all of their units and then the opposing side activating all of theirs. The result of this kind of mechanic means that players will have less control over their overall force and may find it difficult to execute a strategic plan - but in a period when many commanders would be personally leading their troops in to battle and fighting sword in hand in the front rank - that seems like an entirely realistic ambition for the period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso included in the rules is a series of random events of Hazards that cover such situations as Swiss troops striking over pay, raiding cavalry stealing an armies baggage and a whole host of other misfortunes that commonly befell armies of the period. To the rear of the rules are a number of army lists for all of the major armies of the period. Also included are unit cards for all of these units which you can copy for use. These will be used during the deployment phase of the battle so that opposing armies will have only a limited idea of their opponents composition and dispositions. And finally, we hope you enjoy playing these rules. Our intention with this game is to provide a fun and entertaining way to explore the tactical changes and challenges of the period with a healthy dose of ‘period-feel’ thrown in for good measure.” \u003cstrong\u003eS.Danes 2017\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere are 13 Army Lists included in the book for five settings and they are as follows:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Great Italian Wars - Italian, French, Spanish, Holy Roman Empire, Swiss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench Wars of Religion - Huguenot, Catholic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dutch Wars - Dutch, Spanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTudor Wars - English, Scottish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElizabethan Wars - English, Irish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alternative Armies","offers":[{"title":"Digital Rulebook","offer_id":42396002826,"sku":"fur01_dd","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/products\/furioso_cover_dd_600pix.jpg?v=1571439289"},{"product_id":"5030-slaughterloo-digital-paid-download-1","title":"5030 Slaughterloo 2nd Edition - Digital Paid Download","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"prod-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS IS A DIGITAL BOOK NOT A PRINT BOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e28mm Mass Battle Napoleonique Wargame Rules\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-summary\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe second edition of the worlds finest Napoleonique Fantasy 28mm scale Mass Battle System.

It perfectly combines the colour and drama of 'Napoleonique' warfare with my predilection for fantasy gaming. Add to this an entertaining and humorous take on our own real world history and you have a lot of fun on your hands. Of course this would all amount to nothing if the game itself was not fun to play. At the heart of the system is a beautiful thing - the Form Roll! This is a powerfully simple mechanic to enable a player to control (or lose control!) of his or her troops on the battlefield This device allows for flexibility of command but also sets limits depending on your troop's current status and overall training.  The other mechanic of play in Slaughterloo much admired was the Order Cards system which gives commanders a powerful tool to manipulate the command and control of the Army. Together, the Form Roll and the Order Cards make for an incredibly fun combination to play with because it manages to achieve a genuine feel of suspense and a fog of war to the game - you are never sure if your risks will pay off or what surprise the enemy have planned.  The game gives you just enough rope to hang yourself with or to lasso yourself out of the grips of defeat! This makes for truly entertaining and fun game, which we think, is why we all play war-games, that and the artful joy and spectacle of collecting and fielding a Slaughterloo Army. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this Second Edition of Slaughterloo, the Form Roll and Order Cards are still at the heart of the game. These and many other of the core elements of the Slaughterloo first edition game remain within this Second Edition and constitute the STANDARD RULES game. What the Second Edition as brought is a new phenomenon the ADVANCED RULES.  The ADVANCED RULES are the product of the Second Edition play-testing rituals and are the collective answer to the mission brief. How can Slaughterloo game be made better without sacrificing its current strengths. It is our hope that you will find the ADVANCED GAME does meet that brief and manages to build on the sound foundation of the original edition rules to provide a higher level of Slaughterloo play.  Once the STANDARD RULES are mastered the ADVANCED RULES will offer exciting new opportunities and challenges to commanding an Army on the battlefields of Valon. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFrom the outset the Second Edition of Slaughterloo game has sought to and succeeded in: \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e- Adding refinement to the existing core mechanics of the game \u003cbr\u003e - Propose new rules that impart a greater Napoleonique period feel \u003cbr\u003e - Not sacrifice Slaughterloo's basic tenet of reasonably simple, fast and enjoyable gameplay. \u003cbr\u003e - To make no alterations that will in any way make redundant already collected first edition Units and divisions of Alternative Armies miniatures. \u003cbr\u003e - At all times the inspiration for new ideas has been filtered through this perspective. \u003cbr\u003e - It is hoped that you will enjoy this second version; play it hard and with good humour, keep an eye to your flanks and may the cards and dice be forgiving. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The battlefields of Valon are an engine of destruction, blasting masses of uniformed troops into deep crimson mists. From the Army of Albion, under the command of the Duke of Wheeling-Turn, outsmarting the Ferach Marshals in Catalucia, to the rival Dwarf and Dog Armies warring with each other in the lands of Krautia and Ostaria. While finding victory at the battle of Osterlitz against the Emperor Klaffenhund, Mordred, Emperor of the Ferach Elves, has mired himself in the Witchlands where the never resting corpse Armies of the Star Wraith have decimated the Grande Armee du Norde; the greatest military force ever assembled. Slaughterloo is the sister game of Flintloque and is done in very much the same vein and style. Now you can order the fates of thousands as your characters take command of entire Divisions on the field. From the rumble and rattle of cannon as they jolt past, pulled by their limber beasts; to the snorting and stamping cavalry formations with their heavy sabres and piercing lances. While platoons of Light Infantry such as the infamous 105th Orc Rifles harass the lines of the enemy with their sniping shots and the special units of your Army take their places, such as the Elf Field Hospital, it is the turn of the Line Infantry to shine. Making up the bulk of your Napoleonique Army the Infantry are a multitude of colours and classes. From Line to Grenadier to Militia and Guard every force on Valon from the Orc and Elves to the Dwarves and Dogs, not to mention the Undead and the Othermann has a varied choice each with their unique properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAs with Flintloque you must choose which side you are to ally yourself with. Will it be the Orcs of Albion or another part of the Grand Alliance, or will you draw your sword for Mordred or another member state of the Ferach dominion. Then you could assemble an Army of your own making from one of the tiny Dwarf princedoms or kneel before the Star Wraith and receive your legion of the walking dead. Do not discount the lure of the Isstanbaal treasure house as a Vizier of the Othermann Empire you can prostate yourself at the feet of the Sultan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIt is not only the make up of your Army and its' Divisions that is your concern as a General of Valon, as with your skills as a skirmisher, it is your command of the rules of war and how they affect your regiments that will bring victory. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTime to unfurl the flags, strike up the drums and march to glory on the Fields of Valon!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alternative Armies","offers":[{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":42458081290,"sku":"5030_dd1","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/products\/5030_dd_600pix_08f9d1ea-2bd0-4b55-9c5e-db0fa09e2fd4.jpg?v=1571439289"},{"product_id":"sulphur-ii-game-book-digital-paid-download","title":"Sulphur II Game Book - Digital Paid Download","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS IS A PAID FOR DOWNLOAD NOT A PRINT BOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKIRMISH TABLETOP RULES FOR POST APOCALYPSE MAYHEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eColour Covers. 68 Pages.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSulphur is a set of sci-fi skirmish rules with its own extensive range of 32mm miniatures including infantry, vehicles and heroes. Sulphur has a distinctly post-apocalyptic feel to it which creates battles between rusty and improvised looking war wagons, ragged looking infantry squads, menacing heroes and satisfyingly impressive heavy weapons. The rules allow players to customise their war-wagons with their favourite weapons and equipment - and the vehicle miniatures themselves all come with a range of weapon options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmies will be led by a number of heroes, characterful individual warriors with their own profile and special attacks. Infantry are divided into a number of categories such as Light Infantry, Assault Infantry, Warriors and Heavy Weapons. Each infantry squad has a particular function on the battlefield which if used correctly will improve their chances of success. Players need to learn how to use these troops to their best advantage as well as how to combine them with other squads in their force for maximum efficiency and effect. For instance, using light troops to identify targets, using heavy weapons to weaken and suppress the target and then sending in the warriors to finish the enemy off at close quarters. Sounds easy? Not so in practise! This means that it is not just a case of the dude with the biggest gun winning the day (although the game does have plenty of big guns!).

One of the main sections of the book covers a number of the major battles of the period and provides scenarios for such battles as Fornovo, Pavia and Ceresole. The historical scenarios provide player with army lists for each battle, maps to allow players to set up the terrain and show deployment areas and also provides special rules specific to each battle. Using these scenarios players can explore these famous battles and compare their efforts to the historical outcomes of the day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother prominent section of this supplement covers mercenary units and generals. Here players can really get into the spirit of the Italian Wars by hiring famous mercenary units to include in their armies. However, players will have to bid against their opponents to get the best units and must be prepared to lose their favourite unit to the highest bidder. Each of these renowned mercenary units will have its own profile and special abilities so generals will be keen to include them in their armies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is also included in this supplement are rules for solo play. Solo play allows players to fight battles on their own against an opposing army which is controlled using the solo mechanism, a mechanism that will be trying equally hard to destroy the player’s army as the player is trying to destroy their opponents. Using the solo play rules players that are new to the game have an enjoyable and interesting way to familiarise themselves with the rules processes before trying the game out against their wargaming friends and opponents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last main section of the rules covers the Da Vinci inventions. Those with an interest in the Renaissance period will be familiar with the marvellous and evocative drawings of strange craft that have endured through history. These fantastical and improbable creations are given ‘life’ here and players can now include them in their armies if they wish (and can of course purchase the models such as the Da Vinci Tank from Alternative Armies). But don’t worry, these inventions are unlikely to over-power more conventional forces. They are sometimes as unstable as they look, often providing more amusement than fear as they break down or crash out of the sky. Enjoy!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo complement these weird and wonderful inventions is a new breed of soldier trained specifically to fight them.

No guarantees of course - but if successful, the results can be most entertaining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd finally I have included a section that answers some of the frequently asked questions that players have about the Furioso rules.

Located in the New Worlde of Amerka it means adventure on a whole new continent never seen before. Take command of a chosen few characters, be they Uropean Settler races (such as Elves and Orcs) or take the part of Amekan races such as Injians or Gruff and many other strange creatures.

You might choose to create a section of Orcish Colonial Militia to fight for Washertunne and against Kyng Gorge. Or Some Light Cavalry armed with swords who must enforce Great Britorcish aims in the War of Eighteen Bells. Perhaps you would prefer to create a section of Souffern Elf Troopers to fight in the Civile Warre or grab revolvers and set up a posse of Dog, Goblin and others as Cowboys.

Skirmish wargaming is very different from the usual style of wargame. Instead of representing hordes of nameless cannon fodder, each miniature on the game table represents one character, each with unique skills. Skirmish wargaming isn't about controlling an army of faceless soldiers; it's about individuals battling for fame, glory and their lives. In the game of Frontear you are the lord and master of a small band of characters who live in this world of Amerkan Fantasy. Who these characters are is entirely up to you and discovering your characters, creating them, developing their skills and recording their experiences is one of the most fun aspects of playing Frontear. Use the optional advanced skills and magicke talent rules to add even more variety. Frontear uses a compact rules system (developed from Flintloque Reloaded) for its skirmishes which utilises percentile dice (two ten sided dice) with each action needing the character to pass a certain percentage of difficulty to succeed. Along with a combat engine which uses counters on table and is very flexible you will find Frontear fun and rewarding to play. With a full System for Section creation, you will be playing in no time. Keep the rule book at hand in your first few games and from then all you will need is a reference sheet for the\u003cbr\u003eeasy read tables in the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA game of Frontear can be played with as few as one player (in a specially made solo scenario) through to two players all the way up to truly wild games with eight to ten Sections competing for the same objectives.  A game of Frontear can easily be played to completion in one hour making it a great game for an afternoon or evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Go on Join the Adventure...Partner!’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alternative Armies","offers":[{"title":"Digital Download Book","offer_id":2646130524170,"sku":"7000dd","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/products\/7000_frontear_cover_dd_600pix.jpg?v=1571439325"},{"product_id":"sengoku-monster-hunter-wargame-rules-digital-paid-download","title":"Sengoku Monster Hunter Wargame Rules - Digital Paid Download","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS IS A DIGITAL BOOK NOT A PRINT BOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRULEBOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-summary\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSengoku Monster Hunter is a Tabletop Game for up to Four Player or Solo Play using the Sengoku range of 15mm miniatures.

The alien matter gateway in the Aldan system was destroyed meaning the Shia Khan Empire had no easy way to reach the worlds which then became the Prydian Precinct. This was due to their empire laying so far away that none of their Dragon Ships could navigate to our region of space without immense difficulty. Gradually over a millennium the Shia Khan became a memory and then a legend held by folk as a tale and nothing more. Were it not for the occasional space wreak and also the discovery of artefacts long buiried they would have remained that way. Had it not been for the traitor Hugo Sevaris the Khanate would have faded away.

In a Monster Rampage, hordes of monsters will try and overwhelm the stealthy hunter and exact severe and bloody retribution. I won’t be offended if players choose to avoid this section.

USE ME is a pocket rule system that does not pretend to be anything else. Its fast, its fun and its affordable. With many rule systems these days taking themselves far too seriously and with some being priced at an amount that makes purchasing them a long term goal for most of us USE ME gives you what it promises and in a format that will make you smile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE IS A RUN DOWN OF JUST WHAT YOU GET:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrontis Page pg1\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntroduction \u0026amp; Contents pg2\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProhibition and Inspiration pg3, What you Need to Play pg4.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe USE ME Rules pg5-17\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdvanced Rules pg18-19\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCivilians in USEME pg20-21\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCharacter Creation and Costs pg21-22\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHistorical Units in Play pg23\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSolo Play Rules pg24-26\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eForce Lists 1920's and 1930's pg27-30\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFree Files for this Game pg31\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe USE ME Series pg32\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Written by Robert McAlister and Steve Rysemus.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/files\/um015_bankrobbery_480x480.jpg?v=1659098271\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"275\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFree Scenario - The Bank Robbery.  \u003ca title=\"Free Download\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/files\/um015_bankrobbery_scenario.pdf?v=1659098233\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCLICK HERE\u003c\/a\u003e for the PDF.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/files\/um015_warehouseraid_480x480.jpg?v=1659098326\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/files\/um015_warehouseraid_480x480.jpg?v=1659098326\" width=\"202\" height=\"285\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree Scenario - Warehouse Raid.  \u003ca title=\"Free Download\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/files\/um015_warehouseraid_scenario.pdf?v=1659098220\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCLICK HERE\u003c\/a\u003e for the PDF.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMINIATURE RANGES SUITABLE FOR PRODUCT: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can make use of any manufacturers ranges of 15mm and 20mm Gangsters of this era and the vehicles can be had from toy brands in the correct scale too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alternative Armies","offers":[{"title":"Digital Download Booklet","offer_id":43031583260915,"sku":"um015_dd","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/products\/UM015_cover_dd_750pix.jpg?v=1659712769"},{"product_id":"en-garde-stand-alone-duelling-rules-paid-digital-download","title":"En Garde - Stand Alone Duelling Rules - Paid Digital Download","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"prod-summary\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003eTHIS IS A DIGITAL BOOK NOT A PRINT BOOK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA stand alone tabletop game of Elvish Duelling set upon the very cusp of a civil war.

Players will find themselves in control of usually enthusiastic (and sometimes far too enthusiastic) troops who unfortunately do not have the training or experience of their European colleagues. Players will also be able to note the way that armies changed through the period, some becoming worse and some becoming better and leading ultimately to the creation and success of the New Model Army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurioso can be fought using any scale figures such as 15mm and 28mm.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Furioso rules have a very simple system at their heart. If you want to do anything you need to roll a d6 (six sided dice), a score of five or more will achieve success, a score of four or lower means failure. Modifiers are applied but this is to the number of dice rolled to achieve success and not the score required. Success will therefore be measured by the number of successful scores achieved. At the start of a turn, players roll Initiative for each brigade. Brigades will be activated in sequence with the highest scoring brigade going first followed by lower scoring brigades. Brigades that score a ‘one’ might find themselves doing things that they don’t necessarily want to! This means that play will pass from brigade to brigade rather than one side activating all of their forces and then the opposing side activating all of theirs. The result of this kind of mechanic means that players will not have complete control over their force and may at times find it difficult to execute their plans for the battle. But never fear, this applies to the other side as well and makes for a more ‘real experience’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded in the book are a series of random events or Hazards that cover such situations as troops running low on ammunition, friendly fire, artillery powder explosions and a whole host of other misfortunes that commonly befell armies of the English Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo the rear of the book are extensive army lists that break down into each campaign (the West Country, the North and so forth) and by year so that players can command a West Country Royalist army in 1643 or a Parliamentary army in the North in 1644. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso included in this book are unit cards for all of these units. These will be used during the deployment phase of the battle so that opposing armies will have only a limited idea of their opponents composition and dispositions at the start of the battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alternative Armies","offers":[{"title":"Digital Download Book","offer_id":44565634744563,"sku":"fur03_dd","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/files\/fur03_dd_cover_1000pix.jpg?v=1706032036"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/5545\/collections\/digital_downloads_red_500pix.png?v=1502912694","url":"https:\/\/www.alternative-armies.com\/collections\/digital-downloads\/rulebook.oembed","provider":"Alternative Armies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
