Take a look at the 'About the Kits' page for more detailed information regarding the kits, and tips on how to build them. The brand was launched following a crowd funding venture on Kickstarter, so a special thanks to you if you joined that project, this page would not exist without you!

Splintered Light Miniatures: Bloody Dawn: The Assault On The Alamo Rules
Splintered Light Miniatures: These rules are for refighting the Alamo, primarily in 15mm scale using the Blue Moon Alamo and figure range, although they can be adapted to larger or smaller scales. Set-up is double-blind, with the Texans deploying within the defenses while the Mexicans go away and plan their assault. The game is fast and features volleys of dice. Players' perspective is that of the Mexican column or company commanders, and the Texan officers.
The Mexicans will win the battle, but the Texans can win the game based on how many casualties they inflict on the attackers. The Texan garrison can number 186 or 250, with a higher body count required to win in the second case. The back cover shows printable casualty markers for both sides. There are two hypothetical scenarios for added play value: "Fannin at the Alamo" increases the Texan force to 500+, while "Cos Defends the Alamo, 1835" puts the Mexicans inside and the Texans attacking! These rules have been released through the Wargame Vault.

Brent Spivey Creations: Rogue Planet Scifi-Fantasy Skirmish Rules
Brent Spivey Creations has released their awaid science fiction meets fantasy ruleset called Rogue Planet. I have already downloaded my copy at the Wargame Vault as their seems to be a launching discount! Here's some more information: Welcome to ROGUE PLANET™! A derelict world where you can experience true sci-fantasy gaming that allows you to fight skirmishes that focus on the cinematics and action of the genre without skimping on the tactics. It features:
- ROGUE Die Mechanic
- PAWN System
- FX Phyisics Engine
- Skill Based Combat
- ENERGY Expenditure System
- No labor intensive bookkeeping!
- No measuring!
- Custom point based force creation
- Equipment and Upgrades
- Sorcery and Psionics
- Multiple game levels
- Scenarios
- Play Aids
ROGUE DIE™, PAWN SYSTEM™, AND FX
The ROGUE DIE mechanic allows you to counteract your enemies’ actions during their turns and fuels your powered weapon, powered armor, and psionic force weapon abilities and effects. Counter-actions include things like: dodging, returning ranged fire, counter casting, and intercept maneuvers.
The innovative PAWN system provides a unique mechanism for representing your leader’s retinue and followers and makes for dynamically changing battles as your hero loses abilities, power, and support during a game. PAWNS are also a prime feature of the campaign system and allow a leader to gain new abilities, change strategies, and evolve as a adventure progresses.
Pawns include: ammo grunts, bots, expendables, familiars, intimidators, and brutes [and many more!]. Who will follow you into battle?
The FX Physics Engine™ powers the epic throws, collisions, and staggering blows on ROGUE PLANET. It also gives players the option to make the battlefield more interactive with the implementation of destructible, throwable, and treacherous terrain types. Want to throw an orc in powered armor halfway across the battlefield into a group of goblins and see what survives? FX makes it happen!
ENERGY AND SKILLS
The ENERGY expenditure system allows you to simulate the strength of your force, powers the various armor ratings of your troops, and gives you the option to keep your units in play when you want or need to- but there’s always a cost!
Actions on ROGUE PLANET are a measure of skill. You’ll find no ‘buckets-of-dice’ or straight-line probabilities here. The interactive skill check system means that all players are constantly involved in the game, and you’ll need to work for the best possible tactical advantage or risk having your opponent counter you and take advantage of your failures.
NO BOOKKEEPING OR MEASURING!
There are no hit point boxes, extensive tables, or detailed stat tracking on ROGUE PLANET™. Not only that, but there are no chits, tokens, spell, psionic, or effect markers littering the table either. The focus is always on the miniatures, terrain, and action on the table.
There are no measuring sticks, grids, rulers, centimeters, or inches used for the game. Measurements are based on the relative position of units, line-of-sight [LOS], terrain, and the in-game FX Physics Engine™.
CUSTOM FORCE CREATION
Point based unit creation system gives you total control to bring your force to the tabletop in the way you envision it. There are over 30 different types of base weapons, armor ratings, and enhancements in the game that be used by themselves to equip your troops or combined with one another to create almost limitless supply of custom combi-weapons. These upgrades include: axes, blades, lances, blasters, heavy launchers, powered armor, powered fists, gravity hammers, chained blades, psionic force weapons, and grenades.
What sci-fantasy world would be complete without the inclusion of sorcerers and psychers. Heroes on ROGUE PLANET can be either [or both!] and wield powers like: psionic throw, anchor, time stop, magic missile, blink, deflection, and more. May the psionic force be with you space wizard- always.
GAME TYPES AND SCENARIOS
There are multiple levels of play that allow players with various collection sizes and gameplay preferences to enjoy the game and have it grow with them. Patrols, Strikes, Missions, and Extended Ops ensure that there’s always a new way to experience adventures and combat on this derelict world. For example, during Extended Ops, your heroes may not only gain new followers but just might gain [or become] a nemesis.
The included scenarios range from simple battles to ambushes and there are also options for unique modes-of-play featuring ROGUE elements.
PLAYAIDS
A quick reference sheet [QRS] and force construction price sheet are included in this download. Additionally, the PDF is fully bookmarked to make finding the information you need as quick-and-easy as possible. The game can be played using only d6s, but a couple of d4 and d8 dice are recommended to get the most out of the FX Physics Engine.

Trapdoor Games: Trapdoor: Rules for Dungeon Crawls Unleashed!
Trapdoor Games has just released their interesting dungeon crawl miniature game on the Wargame Vault. Trapdoor is a set of rules which allow players to explore perilous subterranean fantasy worlds using little more than dice, miniatures and their imaginations. It was born chiefly from two desires: 1. to devise a simple dungeon adventure rules engine that still allowed for detailed character development and thus longevity and 2. to create a set free from the constraints of being tied to a predetermined sword & sorcery background.
In this way players can use whatever fantasy miniatures they have to hand and can place their games in whatever 'world' they like. The bestiary chapter provides the profiles of numerous generic fantasy creatures - from Goblins Warriors to Fire Drakes - but gamers are also free to create their own too using a simple points system. Trapdoor is also scale-free, so whether you want to adventure using 28mm or 10mm scale miniature or anything in-between the choice is yours. Whatever divergent fantastical lands you wish to explore Trapdoor provides the tools for you to do so!
Like most conventional dungeon exploration games Trapdoor pits a single referee or 'Games Master' against players who control individual characters, the 'heroes'. The hero players can choose from four races - Human, Halfling, Elf and Dwarf - and six classes: Barbarian, Cleric, Knight, Mage, Ranger and Thief. Whichever race-class combination you choose each has attendant strengths and weaknesses, but all will form an integral part of your party! To get gamers started an introductory quest is included. Fans of classic dungeon crawl systems need look no further!
