## Description
Code: Zero Line is a miniature wargame simulating modern to near-future infantry combat. Tired of arguing over millimeters or long waits in traditional turns? This game ditches tedious measuring for tactical decisions, command friction, and deadly suppressive fire. Metric-less movement lets soldiers move any distance in a straight line if the path is clear. Dynamic initiative means you keep acting as long as your units succeed—but fail or push too hard, and the initiative flips instantly. Command friction and momentum overdraft add tension: spend Momentum for flawless elite actions or risk an overdraft to force a unit's activation, at the cost of giving the opponent the upper hand. Will you gamble? You'll need 28~32mm infantry miniatures (or paper stand-ins), some D6 dice, and a 3-inch tactical stick (1 Unit Distance) for close-range resolutions.
