Nordic Weasel Games: New SciFi LaserStorm 2nd Edition Rules
Nordic Weasel Games: Welcome to the 2nd edition of LaserStorm. This is a set of wargame rules aimed at huge science fiction battles using small scale miniatures such as 3mm and 6mm scale. Check these rules now here
The game scale is that each model represents either a single vehicle or a 4-6 person fireteam of infantry. Units are all distinct in their performance: Vehicles are vulnerable to close assault but feature speed and firepower, super heavy units can take (and dish out) massive punishment and the lumbering behemoth class allows you to get your giant robots out on the battlefield too.
Gameplay is card driven using a small card deck. Very few markers and tokens are used in play (and many games will feature none at all). Instead you can focus on a cool, amazing looking battlefield as your grav tank platoon engages the enemy walkers. Combat rules are straight forward, relying on a simple to-hit/saving throw mechanic. Morale is handled in a unique fashion: Instead of units sitting around as sitting ducks when their morale fails, they withdraw from the battle and can later be rallied and brought back as reinforcements. To help you learn the rules, each chapter also includes a Boot Camp section, explaining the very basics at a glance.
Other mechanics include tactical assets, covering ploys such as forward deployment or camouflage and heroic units. The game features a scenario generator with 9 objective types possible as well as an introductory scenario to get you started. What about your troops? You can do it in two different ways: You can use the assembly line where you choose a basic troop type or vehicle hull, then bolt weapons on to it, tally up the points cost and voila, ready to play. You can also use the workshop where you can design units down to the individual stats and get exactly the outcome you would like.
A collection of human and alien prebuilt units are also available, so you can get up and playing right away, if you prefer not to build anything just yet. When you have played a few battles, you may ready to go bigger. Why not try a campaign game where a massive army is divided up into smaller armies and then move around a grid map, combining a strategic layer with the tactical gameplay.
You prefer playing solo? The new edition covers solo mechanics as well through the use of a tactical card system to help inject some decision making into the foe. The new edition of LaserStorm features much requested addiitons like air support and is in full colour, lavishly illustrated with gorgeous miniatures and terrain as well as helpful diagrams showcasing key concepts.

Osprey Publishing: When Nightmares Come: An Investigative Wargame of Supernatural Horror
Osprey Publishing: A solo and cooperative skirmish wargame for investigating and battling the supernatural mysteries of the modern world. When Nightmares Come is a tabletop miniatures wargame about modern day monster hunting and occult investigations. Players will form a team of paranormal vigilantes; self-taught occult specialists and monster hunters who call themselves the Nightwatch. These self-appointed members of the ‘watch look to tackle the supernatural horrors and investigate the strange disturbances that plague their city.
The core of the game, using the Action Dice Pool with its multiple die types, is fast and bloody, with tiered enemies, flexible player classes, quick combat resolution, and straightforward mission objectives. When Nightmares Come also contains a roleplaying element that allows for non-combat challenges and dramatic encounters. This system uses the same dice types as the core game’s Action Dice Pool and emphasizes quick resolutions. This narrative system adds a fresh dimension to the core miniatures experience, particularly in longer campaigns where the promise of different foes and new storylines encourages long-term playability.

Osprey Publishing: A War Transformed: WWI on the Doggerland Front! Weird WWI Wargame
Osprey Publishing: The Great War meets the horrors of forgotten folklore in this occult skirmish wargame. 1916: A World Transformed. As the Great War raged, the Moon fell from its orbit. Seas shifted, uncovering new lands and revealing what tide and time had concealed. Long known as a potent occult power, the Moon’s descent also heralded the terrifying resurgence of magic. Long-forgotten gods and spirits began to stir in hidden groves and caverns, and old traditions found new strength. Soon, stone circles echoed once more with the chanting of ancient rituals and menhirs were again bedecked with wildflowers and presented with offerings of honey and blood.
1918: A War Transformed. Rival nations battle on new fronts, seeking dominance with weapons of spell, song, and sacrifice. Thrust to the surface, Doggerland, the ancient bridge between Britain and Europe, becomes a crucial battleground in the conflict. In this alien landscape, raiding parties pick through the ribs of wrecks and the ruins of lost villages, war machines festooned with totems and fetishes roll over the brittle bones of long-dead giants, and cavalry charge across plains made verdant by the vegetation returning to this new land with unnatural speed.
A War Transformed is a skirmish wargame set in a world where World War I was utterly changed by forces far beyond human comprehension. Players command small forces of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and other… stranger… troops on the Doggerland Front. Fast-paced gameplay and a tense initiative bidding system are combined with authentic folk traditions and occult philosophies of the era – it is a game of rifle and relic, of bayonet and belief, of machine gun and magic.
