VOID 1.1 – Battles with Miniatures

Recensione del Gioco di Guerra di i-KORE

VOID 1.1 – Battles con Miniatures VOID is a fast paced science fiction skirmish game, using 28mm metal figurines to represent futuristic armies, which players use to fight battles on a tabletop. The VOID rulebook contains all the rules of play, an armoury section ed army lists for the quattro human armies: Viridians, Junkers, Syntha e VASA, as well as the mysterious alien race, the Koralon. A miniature line covering all cinque armies supports VOID. The models are manufactured in lead-free white metal e polyester resin. The range includes basic troops for the armies, support soldatini e characters, e larger kits such as the Tiger APC, a huge walking vehicle quadrupede. The mounted legionari shown here are armed con armour-piercing thermite lances.

The game uses a unit-by-unit activation system that encourages the use of supporting troops, e prevents the battle from becoming mired in hour-long turns. The game mechanics are clear e concise, allowing the players to fight games ranging from very small skirmishes con only a few troops, to massive battles using hundreds of miniatures. Simple enough for beginners, the game system also has subtle depths that will provide a satisfying challenge for the experienced player.

Valutazione

The game is available as a book priced only USD 9.95, ed as a free download from the internet. Update: I-KORE Ltd. has since been bought by Urban Mammoth who continue to offer the free download of VOID 1.1.
VOID uses an alternate unit activation system, which makes the action fast e deadly.
The activation system makes it possible to easily fight battles between tre o more player at once.
VOID uses a flexible battle system which allows skirmishes con as few as 10 o 15 models per side, as well as larger games con vast armies.
The squad based game system keeps the action flowing quickly e smoothly, ed encourages the use of supporting troops.
New rules e troop types are published in the bi-monthly publication Battles con Miniatures, which is also available to buy o free online at www.i-kore.com.
The VOID miniatures range may be nicely compatibile con existing 28 mm science fiction soldatini from other manufacturers. Some troop types look like they differ only in the cut of their uniforms.

Fantasy e science fiction game systems tend to be more difficult to learn e master, because players are unable to evaluate the game action against historic events they have read about o seen in a movie. There is no way to verify the actual capabilities of thermite lances, bolters ed other sci-fi weapons typically used in such games. If the game designer fails to balance le armi e truppe types properly, the game will not play very well. In such an event, historic gamers would simply switch the rules o establish their own house rules to fix the bug.
The proprietary troop types e trademarked denominazioni used in many fantasy e science fiction game systems are specifically designed to prevent compatibility among competing miniatures ranges. Accordingly, VOID does not include any rules which would readily allow a player to incorporate existing soldatini e veicoli from other game systems into the VOID world. Historic simulation gamers are more fortunate in that the troop type denominazioni they encounter are used consistently in the industry, e models are priced competitively.

When Worlds collide

The VOID game system can be made compatibile con soldatini, weapon systems e veicoli available from other manufacturers. One interesting scenario would be to pit an invading VOID army against 40K defenders. Pick the game system you prefer, e classify the alien troop types accordingly.
