I managed to catch up with the game designer (Derek) behind the new game HALO Ground Command. He ran me through a turn and that was all I needed to see that the game is smooth. HALO Ground Command features a reaction system that puts every model on what most games call overwatch. It’s a pretty good mechanic and it really helps capture the feeling of playing the video game.
In Her Majesty’s Name is a miniatures war game that is set in a steam pink setting of 1895. Small bands of of figures are assembled to fight over the objectives you establish. This is a skirmish game where you will generally field not more than ten models per player. Written by by Craig Cartmell and Charles Murton the book totals 64 pages costs about 15.00 and is also available as a pdf. If you know of any book published by Osprey publishing you already know the quality you’re getting.
This Skirmish game can be bloody quick. I’ve had games last as little as 15 minutes or as long as an hour. Play is pretty smooth, it uses an alternate activation system where models take turns following the model play of move and shoot.
