![]() Phoenix Command ![]() Phoenix Command is a role playing system produced by Leading Edge Games in 1986. Getting three reprints, with the latest being 1991. It has over a dozen supplements, including rules for donkeys stepping on landmines, tanks, artillery, and hand to hand combat. The game is played on a hex map, with a scale of 2 meters per hex. Every turn is 2 seconds long and divided into 4 half-second impulses where movement and combat are executed simultaneously. How it's played ![]() I do not play, I merely bare witness to the grog abyss... I will be using the full, advanced ruleset with all supplements. I'm going to go ahead and dedicate a whole post to how play very soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ![]() How it will be done will, in broad strokes, be that you, the audience, vote on what equipment we buy and who we hire. Then, you will vote on a support asset of some kind. Then, you will vote on what mission will be played, then finally, create and vote on a plan of action. There may be consequences to what you do, so choose carefully... Every mission will be then be played and posted. Yooper posted:
-------------------------------------------------------- Who We Are ![]() Officially known as the U.S. Army Recruit Class of 2020, these fine American boys unfortunately failed Basic Training. Unfazed by their failure, this class decided to take whatever skills they actually learned and take them to the market. A new merc' company called Hired Goons decided to hire this group, in all their wisdom. For now though, we need a name! And more importantly, recruits! WE WANT YOU FOR SERVICE - Apply for a life as a mercenary today, and I'll create a dossier for you. Submit a picture and you'll even get a nice looking dossier. We have 12 open slots, the rest will be in reserve until we expand our roster. Time to show the Hired Goons what we're made of - we can't let them down!

Noone has every actually played this game. It's impossible. This is the kind of game that lonely nerds buy and read to themselves because they can't find an actual game group, or that one rear end in a top hat tries to bring to game night and he's never invited back. ... gently caress it, Actuary. ![]() Added Space fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Apr 8, 2017 |

To clarify, everybody starts as a rifleman, but must qualify (aka survive) for weapons. I will be taking down qualification requests right now, as to know what weapon your dude will train for as that becomes available (XP, equipment availability).

Telsa Cola posted:It it possible to stay as a rifleman? Sure! I'll be doing the full dossier and character creation soon on a person by person basis as the roster fills up. While everyone starts as a rifleman, you don't have to change roles. You can in fact specialize. Depending on your stats, you may be a good rifleman but also good at recon, or a good artillery spotter for example. I will soon be doing full effort posts deciphering equipment and their stats, how they work, and character creation and how that works as well in a series of posts explaining this insane system, including combat before we actually kick this thing off.

Tokentool to turn any 'ole image into a token, but if you search for "tank" under roll20 you'll get a bundle of tanks under free assets. Before they changed how roll20 was laid out you could figure out the author for it who has this massive site of WW2 to modern top down vehicle tokens of all sorts, but I don't know how to reverse engineer a link the same way now.

Thanks for the token tool and advice. I found on my own a ton of top-down sprites and I'm harvesting all that. So right now, if you find some cool terrain and wanna throw it up, who knows where Hired Goons will end up in the future so all is welcome.
