A harrowing close combat ensued, 5 men against 20, but they held their own. This Hero led the small group of 5 guys, but the enemy poured into the building. One of them became a Hero (a specific game mechanic can cause units to generate Heroes which represent individuals who step up in the Heat of Battle). The guards freaked out (broke), so the prisoners started fighting them, killed them, and took their weapons.

I'll never forget the game when my opponent took some of my guys prisoner, but my sniper started shooting at the guards. Hail corporate.Īdvanced Squad Leader has the best emergent narrative of any game I've ever played, but it takes a lot of rules and engines to get there. The corporation player takes their turn, sees where i live, and initiates operation scorched earth to finish me off and level the city block i live in all in the name of redevelopment. It was my last action so i was unable to shake the tag. I proceed to run the server, deal with the heavy fortifications, access the card stored, only to reveal a snare! which gets my mind tazed and my location revealed (tagged). I don’t want to be flatlined (lose due to death), but if i don’t run (hack) on that server, the corporation will likely score that agenda and win. I still remember the plays and stressful situations the games can create. The terminology, rules, and card design really helped immerse the competing players in a game of cyberpunk cat and mouse to a level no other game has done at that time and is a rarity to encounter in boardgaming. In this award-winning board game, players will use.
