Scenarios for Sci-Fi Wargames volume 1

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The book contains scenarios designed to be flexible enough to be used with just about any sort of science-fiction wargame rules.  

The scenarios can be played as individual one-off wargames, or can be linked together to form a narrative campaign. Included for each is background information, some prose to set the scene, a map, an idea of special rules and forces to use, and what the victory conditions are, all in an attractively illustrated book.

A follow-on volume, the aptly named volume 2, is due out in a few weeks!

I guess the best way for a prospective purchaser to see if this is a good fit for them is to take a look at the full-size preview. Gives a good idea of whether this is something you'll love and find useful... or find loathsome (bit like Marmite!). As Tim rightly points out, strengths are given in relative terms... but at the risk of repeating myself that's deliberate so players can use what they possess forf the scenarios which form a narrative style campaign of linked games!

I stand corrected some of the scenarios do have force descriptions for example "The rebels defending the base have half the force strength of the authorities (who field a
cameraman)." The others just give relative strengths.

The review by Tim S is a bit harsh, to say the least! The scenarios include a sci-fi background, a map for each scenario, strong hints of what forces to use (but deliberately kept vague so you can use what you've got), special rules notes tied to our wargame rules, and victory conditions. The design philosophy is deliberate and explained in the volume. So, a bit more than just a collection of 'vague maps' as he claims.

Is the preview an entire scenario? Ie a scenario consists of a general map and objective. No description of forces involved or critical distances between points on the map? Is there a rules section in the book as the preview refers to certain rules being in play.

How many scenarios are in the book? It would be helpful if the description listed the scenario number and types in the preview.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
