Warriors

Warriors: Modern Conflict is a skirmish to platoon scale miniature wargame designed to roughly simulate near-future engagements. In order to facilitate an enjoyable gaming experience we have made a few changes to direct simulation and opted instead for fun. There are many games that offer a more “realistic” way of playing with toy soldiers—we have decided to keep things a little more playful. If you are upset by our lack of accurate TO&E then you should probably not be playing miniature games...you should probably see a therapist. This game is played on a 1:1 scale of figures to men meaning that each model represents what it looks like in the game-world. A big part of wargaming for us is the cinematographic nature of wargaming and we try to minimize things that confuse that. As best we can we want to keep things like weapon ranges and effects within the scale we are playing while still allowing some flexibility. The authors of this game play it in two scales—28mm and 15mm—each having their own preference. We truly believe that this game works well in both despite both having some drawbacks. The ranges are a little short for 28mm and 15mm are just so darn small to paint! Each action is roughly 5-10 seconds of game-world action. This is a fast-paced game and a lot can happen in not much time. Some of the flavor we have added might seem a little stretched and some of the things we generalize might seem like a lack of detail. We do this to make the game fun but also not overcomplicate things. The difference between an AK-47 and M27 might be huge in a shooting competition, but it isn’t nearly as important as the soldier holding it in combat! Given our view of gaming, we hope you enjoy these rules in the spirit they are intended.
