Stationary defenders were able to drive off the attacker until the attacker could achieve fire superiority. The flow of the battle felt right, with guys trying to suppress enemies while others rushed forward and fields of fire were critical. Cover helps by making you less likely to run away when shot at thus more likely to be in place to return fire on your turn. Reactive fire is (almost) always suppressive and usually just uses shock dice. I pull a red d6 for the kill die and a yellow d6 for the shock die and roll them at the same time, so if I miss, there is no extra step to see if the target ducks back or scuttles off. (note: I have not tried Chain Reaction Final Version 3.1 yet)Īn example of firing in 5 Core is an active figure with an assault rifle shoots with 1 kill die and 1 shock die. Chain Reaction sometimes gets in to multiple cycles of “shoot/received fire test/shoot back/received fire test…” while 5 Core handles this with one set of die rolls.

5 Core does this well and in a very fluid manner. I have been playing Two Hour Wargames rules for many, many years, all the way back to Chain Reaction version 1, and I am a firm believer in skirmish rules that make it risky to prance about in front of unsuppressed enemies with automatic weapons.

This is not a full review, but just some of my random thoughts. Trade Items roll: Local Map: This is a onetime use item that allows a free scurry move at the beginning of a scenario.Assault Attachment: Allows figures to receive a +1 chaging bonus even when not charging.Scanbot : This will be useful for defense scenarios, although it is unarmed.Loot: Gadgets, roll twice on Found Gear table and get….Acquired new enemy: Zealots from the Church of COBOL.1 private rendered OOA, needs 2 campaign turns to recover.Results: 2 Enemy OOA, 2 Bailed off the table, technician retrieved, mission success.Buildings mostly by Finger and Toe models.įortunately, Riley managed to kill the only zealot guarding the technician inside the warehouse, and they ran the rest off. Here are the results are some random shots of the game, used a different camera than I usually do, so they turned out not a good. The platoon's mission is to locate and free the technician in the abandoned industrial district at the edge of town. Zealots from the Fundamentalist Church of COBOL have kidnapped the technician to prevent this from happening. Now to turn this data into a narrative and play the game!Ī wandering preacher from the Reformed Church of COBOL has hired a technician to translate some of the early church documents from an old mainframe. This was quick ad easy using the tables in the book. Opposition will have player figures 1 less figure than the player.Mission: Find Someone (Who?: Technician).Using the Five Parsecs from Home book, I generated the following mission: For my first game, I wanted to dive right in, so I assumed the platoon secured a patron for a job.
