Back in 2010 Bob Minadeo and myself put together a playtest draft of a new 15mm scale wargame called HOF Fire Team.  This playtest draft was downloaded more than nine hundred times and more than two hundred people contributed to the testing.  A lot of these gamers did so after being informed of the rules by Dropship Horizon blog, at that time run by my good friend Mark Hannam, who was also in on the ground level with the rules.

HOF Fire Team is a little brother to Firefight 2.0 in that its mechanics are taken from that game but instead of being for 28mm its for 15mm miniatures.  The result is an intense 15mm sci-fi grid based game that can be played in quarter of an hour with about twenty four miniatures on the battle boards (20mm squared grids).  It uses ‘tech levels’ and ‘way points’ along with ‘action dice’ for a game that is very flexible and fast without being staid and predictable.

Confirmed now by 15mm.co.uk the game will be out in time for the Salute 2012 show at Excel in London’s Docklands in April of this year.  It will be an A5 format 56pp book with the cover you can see here.

More on this as it develops!
