Return to Robotech RPG Tactics

It has been over a year since I last played Robotech RPG Tactics.  Why?  Well there is the whole Wave 2 debacle, my other games (20mm WW3, and Bolt Action) and parenthood soaking up most of my time.  The SDF-1 table has not moved past the concept phase and probably won't for awhile. 

That aside, my interest has grown again.  This week I give you a revised Quick Reference (new blast rules) with the basic units from Wave 1 included in two addition sheets which you can use to make Zentraedi and UEDF quick reference cards.  Just click the link below.

 What next?  Well I am going to finish Jack Archer's Wolf Squadron and maybe a 'Mars Base Revisited' Campaign where the UEDF sends a mission to reclaim Mars from Zentraedi bandits.

Bon Appetite!

12 Days of Khyron - Day 11 Quick Reference Sheets

We have a special present for you today.  Below are links to my drop box account containing two files.  Both are sized for 8 1/2" x 11" paper.

The first is a one page, single sided quick reference sheet.  All the rules simplified on one page.

The second is the condensed mecha stats for the units in Wave 1.  The file is 2 pages, one for the UEDF, the other for the Zentraedi.  (note the UEDF sheet does not contain the VF-1R...sorry)

Simply print off 2 copies of the Quick Reference sheet, then one of each faction on the back.  Laminate them and you are set for a one page, double sided reference document that will serve you until Wave 2 is release.  Don't ask me what I will do then.

Now scramble all fighters and defend the SDF-1!

P.S. - If you see a mistake in the files, let me know and I will correct it.

P.P.S. - Unit reference updated to version 1.1 - Dec 20 8:43am EST

Mass Mecha Combat Rules Update

Thanks to those who sent me some feedback regarding my one page rule set.  I made a few changes and the latest version is now available on my drop box

More updates to follow during the week.

One Page Mecha Combat Rules

I've been wargaming for 29 years now and frankly, I'm getting too old for complex rule sets.  As my mind and friends grow old and feeble, I have developed an affinity for one page wargame rules.  Yes, I admit that I have not had a chance to play the RRT rule set and will give it a try when I get my copy.  But there is a lot to be said for gathering with your friends, handing them a simple rule set and getting to the action within a matter of minutes.  No codex of rules to flip through.  Everything is on one page, double sided.

So I wrote my own set of 'One Page' Mecha combat rules for use with Robotech.

 (don't bother trying to read the pic, just download the rules below)

The concept is that they are short in length (one page), no book keeping (all you need are wound markers), fast play, easy to learn, and can facilitate combat on a mass scale (100 figs).  Just print off the rules sheet with the army faction page on the back.  I prefer to laminate mine for durability. 


You can download it here:  Mass Mecha Combat Rule

Give the rules a try if you want, and send me some feed back as it needs play testing.
