Rules of Engagement

THE SHORT VERSION

Ryan Powell, Kurt Periolat and Chris Hutchings replace repeated Cleanse games with a generator built around four objective markers. Each army receives its own mission, so victory conditions and access to reserves or infiltration may differ between opponents. Marker placement, randomised deployment zones and varying tasks create a tactical problem before the battle starts. Their accompanying fiction illustrates how the results can suggest a narrative campaign rather than merely produce another mission table.
