Those of you who have been with me for a while know that 15mm science fiction is near and dear to my heart.
The scene went from a curiosity to a hugely supported contender with multiple manufacturers making excellent figures. It was also supported at the time by games like Gruntz, Stargrunt 2 and, if I may say so, FAD.
However many years on, I think things have gotten a little quiet, so it is time for me to stir the campfire a little bit again.
With that in mind, I am pleased to announce the alpha test of SLAM-15:
A set of rules written specifically to take advantage of, and be suitable for, 15mm figures. This means capturing a bit of a "hard scifi/hard space opera" vibe in the rules (since this is the most common figures available), ensuring the rules match what people usually want to use in their armies (multiple vehicles, multiple infantry squads based individually) and making sure the game is not excessively fiddly and that any tracking can be done either using simple markers (activations) or dice (vehicle damage).
It is intended for pick up games though it should not be too difficult to solo two-fisted.
The alpha version of the rules feature everything needed to play, including sample troop profiles and weapons with points values. Buyers will also get a discount on the final version.
