Echo Actual
SECOND EDITION TO BE RELEASED SUMMER 2021. Echo Actual is a company-scale wargame that fits well between the tabletop simulations and war/boardgames on your shelf. The system is adaptable for playing on a variety of maps you already own with a soon-to-be-released bundle of OPORD scenarios designed specifically for Echo Actual. With full page art from my home table of modular 2 1/2" hex tiles! A number of features help Echo Actual stand out from other wargame offerings¸ including; A combined arms game¸ the system is designed to allow players the selection of a specific Commander before assembling a mission-specific force with Sections ¸ Teams and Modifications that can be equipped¸ further pushing the specialized capabilities of each unit. The entire force must stay connected to the 'Communications Net' to avoid the horrific consequences of a Blue-on-Blue attack. At the beginning of the game¸ units are deployed face down - when spotted¸ they are revealed! Some units have highly specific skills. The Electronic Warfare unit can cripple an enemy communications net. The Engineer Section can build a number of Fortifications. The Core Rulebook includes print and play instructions to get you in the fight! Tokens for everything listed in the Combined Arms List make for a quick start up. Also included are instructions for creating a set of DIY tokens in case a player didn't have access to a printer. The first installment of Echo Actual will serve as the platform for a number of expansions. With rule revisions planned for WWII and Vietnam era combat¸ this first offering from Bill Dungey is the foundation for an exciting addition to the world of tabletop wargaming.
