Called containment, the general storyboard is that there has been an alien incursion in the UK and a specialst unit has been deployed to 'contain' these rather viscious warriors.
The article gives some background information, three linked scenarios and a set of rules. The games were played out on Kallistra hexed terrain using a town setting with Pendraken's 10mm sci-fi forces (plus a home-made 'seeder' or two).
There is an earlier post here (see link in the Resource secion below) that covers the putting together of the of the Pendraken sci-fi forces.
I obviously can't repeat the rules here, or use the photographs submitted to the magazine, but hopefully those interested will pick up a copy. The below link gives an idea what is in this month's issue, I think there is plenty there to like.

Sounds good and will have a look at the magazine Norm:)
ReplyDeletejust browsing my issue, and your namesake (Steve J) has another of his brilliant articles of doing a scenario for a given period and then adjusting the same scenario for two other periods - and there is a nice Charlie M Grant article on how to create linked battles without the hassle of a full blown campaign.
ReplyDeleteTime for coffee, a comfy chair and half an hour out ..... hurrah.
Sounds like an issue to definitely pick up Norm.
DeleteHi Norm, Have just read your article. Very nice indeed! I love the very simple rules, they look they will give a really good game. As you might expect, I'm pondering how you could use these for WW2! Cheers

Thanks Jay, I think the rules are quite heavily influenced by my Tigers at Minsk set, so perhaps some reversal to WWII would not take too much tinkering.
