    The Amazing X-COM Thread

    Those Apocalypse headcraps (or whatever they were) sure were annoying. Kinda ruined the real-time mode for me. Or maybe I just didn't know how to play.

    Vapourware End State - turn-based tactics by Finnish lunatic - now available on Early Access(!)

    Hummm.... "Still alive" is a bit worrying way of putting it. The game itself looks super good.

    The Amazing X-COM Thread

    Ok I'll give you that :)... the cover system is very nice, much nicer than the facing and kneeling system of the old ones. But in the old ones, you did much more large scale flanking. The question was: "do I send 4 guys to that house to cover that area" as opposed to "Do I send I guy to flank...

    KickStarter Phoenix Point - the new game from X-COM creator Julian Gollop

    Does Phoenix Point have (massively) destroyable environments a la original XCOM? What about yuge fires? :bounce: Just noticed this project while ranting about the new XCOM-games. It's hard not to get excited.

    The Amazing X-COM Thread

    In the original XCOM, you had a cool procedural block map with patrolling aliens and totally destroyable environment. And huge fires! Smoke! The new ones truly felt very formulaic and dungeon crawly compared to that....

    4x board games

    Not sure if mentioned, but there will be 2nd edition of Eclipse out next year with much cooler components, some new mechanics and improvements.

    Squad-Level Tactical Games

    Not sure if this has been listed. Laser squad Nemesis style. Good game, but the name is a bit odd one. TASTEE: Lethal Tactics http://store.steampowered.com/app/365190/TASTEE_Lethal_Tactics/

    (XCOM meets Falling Skies) INVASION: Free State

    I was just researching of doing a testing version of INVASION in Tabletop Simulator. This would be delivered the digital testing team. But maybe I have to check Roll20 out too. I also looked at Tabletopia, but Tabletop Simulator seemed more popular & powerful. (Everybody that wants to...

    (XCOM meets Falling Skies) INVASION: Free State

    Market isn't that satured, it is true. ;) We actually had a pc tactical game project going on (it was not based on INVASION: Free State though), but we killed it after a prototype didn't turn out good enough. Partnership with a large studio might work better. When INVASION has sold 30 000...

    Table top games with good incomplete information?

    We'll this may be a bit duh, but Ticket to Ride series handles incomplete information kinda well. You don't know exactly what kind of connections to other players are making. Not a wargame though :p Also many traitor games do this very nicely in my opinion, such as Battlestar Galactica. You...

    (XCOM meets Falling Skies) INVASION: Free State

    Yeah, the map is a bit like Zombicide. You can shoot at enemies that are in the same areas with your friendlies without hitting the friendlies first. Don't use molotov or underslung grenade launcher though...

    (XCOM meets Falling Skies) INVASION: Free State

    Oh and the map is only 9 two-sided urban blocks that can be ordered and rotated which way ever. Quick setup.

    (XCOM meets Falling Skies) INVASION: Free State

    Two reasons mainly: 1. Instead of small tiles or hexes, we wanted to use area movement -this makes it easy to quickly estimate distances in tactics phase. At the end of move action (or at the beginning of attack or interact) a character may enter any cover that is on its current area for free...

    (XCOM meets Falling Skies) INVASION: Free State

    Independent skirmishes with spesific scenario objectives and a randomized map. The base game will not contain campaign rules, but this is certainly something we want to do later down the road. I'd say compared to Earth Reborn which has a ton of different elements and almost a roleplaying-like...
