Ever wanted to test your modern tactical acumen against a wide variety of fantasy foes? Modiphius has a new wargame Forgotten Ruin: The Adventure Wargame which will answer those questions:
A time of danger, a secret mission, mysterious tech, and now you and your platoon of rangers are in a strange world inhabited by orcs, sorcerers, and dragons! Forgotten Ruin: The Adventure Wargame takes you to the strangest battlefield yet, pitting state-of-the-art firepower against fantastical monsters. Just hope the orc horde runs out before the ammunition does!
Forgotten Ruin: The Adventure Wargame is now available for pre-order from Modiphius Entertainment.
Based on the Forgotten Ruin book series, the rules are powered by the ‘Five X’ game system from Five Leagues from the Borderlands and Five Parsecs from Home, unleashing the same solo adventuring thrills. Players command their squad while the game rules control their enemies as they move and fight. It can even be played with a friend by splitting the squad into two fire teams or designating someone to control the enemy like a Game Master.
This adventure wargame offers an exciting mix of tabletop tactics for miniature figures and randomly generated campaign play, providing a unique, story-rich experience.
Available for pre-order for £35 / $45, the game will be released in Q1 of 2024.
Inside the 160-page full colour royal-sized (15.6cm x 23.4cm) hardback book:
Full rules for miniatures combat on strange battlefields including powerful heavy weapons, leadership tactics to customise your squad, spells, and off-map fire support.
Stats for an array of foes to fight: 20 enemy forces with 6 different types (such as Assassins or Archers) as well as 20 huge monsters to challenge your firepower.
Rules to turn enemy champions into recurring villains.
Campaign rules, objectives, and rewards, including magical treasures, advancements, and, best of all…
Transformations! Ever wanted to be a centaur with a machine gun? An elf sniper? Or just a squad leader with a spell book? Your soldiers will not remain the way they were, and the changes can be quite unpredictable!
