Incountry: Recon from Enemy Spotted

[josta59]

Hi, all, I saw a new video from Enemy Spotted today advertising their free Incountry: Recon rules. 




I looked them over, and they do all the things I like. They use similar concepts as Force on Force (which I finally read recently) with some unique aspects, and they fit on 12 pages so they are much simplified. I might try these next because I'm no longer excited about trying to play the more complicated Force on Force. If you can do the same thing in a more simplified way, I thing you have a superior rule set. That might be a minority opinion, but it's mine.

They talk like you need to buy their models and markers, but of course I'm going to try it with my own even though I use much smaller 10mm figures. I see no reason that can't work just as well.

You can "purchase" the free rules and download them at their Incountry online store: www.inxcountry.com/shop

Minority opinion or not I'm with you, be it miniatures or hex and counter.

WOW, I’ll definitely be downloading this! I’m sure the scale can be tweaked…once you figure out conversion of distance and range, a simple chart will help you keep track until it’s down pat. I see gamers converting games all the time so, it is certainly doable!

I agree with both of you guys. There are plenty of gamers our there that feel you need complex rules to govern a realistic game, but that’s not true. Look at Lock ‘n Load Tactical… the original Band of Heroes (v1 and 2) vs. Heroes of Normandy (the latest incarnation uses v5.1)… same game, same system, same core, but the former was 17 pages long, while the latter is somewhere around 200. HoN adds many cool updates to rules interpretation and a few new mechanics, but it’s still majority the same exact game! (I’m currently using v4.1 which is 55 pages   ).
