This science fiction miniatures game puts you in command of a small squad in intense battles, where every move and every shot counts. Forget gigantic armies; here, the focus is on fast, brutal skirmishes with just a few 28mm miniatures. The action is constant, with mechanics that allow daring jumps from ledges or precise kicks into dangerous terrain to eliminate your opponents. Dice rolling adds that touch of unpredictability, while line of sight and measurement movement ensure tactical positioning is crucial. Each faction has its unique powers, meaning you'll have very different strategies to explore. It's the perfect kind of game for those who enjoy a good wargame but prefer something more agile and direct, without spending hours assembling and painting an entire battalion.

Ideal for those who want to enter the world of miniatures games without a large investment of time or components, or for veterans looking for a quick dose of sci-fi combat. Fun is guaranteed for those who like to plan and execute tactics on a dynamic and unforgiving battlefield.
