I wasn’t sure I’d be able to support them properly on the first try, but I got very lucky. While this was going on, Ty also had a request for my 3D printers he had purchased an STL pack of “modern” Japanese Ground Self Defense Force miniatures. I’m considering looking into Force on Force for more platoon on platoon modern warfare for Ukrainian vs Russian fighting, but otherwise Spectre will remain our “go to” for modern, asymmetric warfare. The game system is perfect for that sort of warfare. Our next gaming day is in a couple weeks, and Ty and myself want to do some more traditionally insurgent style scenarios, such as searching for Takistani militia weapon caches while avoiding ambushes and IEDS. But the layout and wording of the rules is far superior after a night studying the game I was able to play with very few errors! It takes some nuance to create good asymmetric scenarios that are still fun for both parties to play, and the points don’t work on their own to properly “balance” the game. In short, I am very impressed by the Second Edition of Spectre Operations. This kept us in Wargaming Shed for a while. It’s hard to see, but there is a lot of rain coming down. The addition of a Russian sniper team was fun, and I definitely want one of my own. Wick silently killed an entire house of models, but the Spetsnaz faired much worse as my Canadians were able to steal initiative enough to force casualties as the Spetsnaz moved to take the compound. We also added hilariously the “Baba Yaga” rules for John Wick, which Ty has a model for. This game was much closer, but unfortunately I took no photos as I was so focused. We did play another game, after hiding in the house for a bit due to a tornado warning in the area. The addition of the additional squad could have made a difference, or the addition of a vehicle(Come on payday! I Daddy needs a LAV III!) might have also tipped the balance. The Elites are just that much better then the lower tiers that they often keep up the initiative and shoot before my Professionals(who are no slouch themselves…), which leads to heavy casualties. We learned a valuable lesson that the points system is a guideline for helping to make a scenario, and doesn’t always lead to balanced games. It was a black day for the Canadian forces. 40k muscle memory cost me a lot of lives, and I’m sure the news would murder the poor Canadian commander who sent the patrol in. It was a fun learning game, and I learned to not bunch up nearly as much. Later suckers! The Gaz Tigr books it back across Takistani asphalt and off the table. He had 6 elite operators to my 10 professional soldiers. My Canadian foot patrol would be in the area on the same objective. The scenario we made up called for Russian Spetsnaz to extract an HVT from a building in the centre of the table, and then use his Gaz Tigr(a Russian light vehicle roughly equivalent to a Humvee) to make a quick getaway. Ty liked the idea, and with the addition of some roof shingles cut down into roads, we quickly made a fairly decent looking table. Instead, on a lark, I suggested Spectre Operations as Ty had a smorgasbord of Blacksite Studio “War Zone Arabia” terrain and lot of special forces models. We wanted to play a game of something with fully painted models to feature on our respective blogs, but while Very British Civil War was our original plan, we had no terrain for it yet and we want to give that setting the justice it deserves. It didn’t leave a bad taste in my mouth, but neither did it wow me.įast forward to this weekend. We hadn’t had time to fully digest the rules, and our terrain setup was nowhere near suitable for a game that requires dense, realistic terrain. We were in a rush, and the game was…confusing to say the least. This would be the stage for a clash between Russian Spetsnaz and Canadian Light Infantry.Īlmost 2 years ago, myself and Ty played a quick demo of Spectre Operations first edition at his place.
