Decimation - World War II
 |
D ecimation bridges the gap between two types of games wargames whose players often have scholarly levels of knowledge of military history¸ weapons¸ and tactics¸ and role-playing games¸ where a vicarious and fantastical sense of adventure drives the player's every decision.
With tremendous respect to the pioneers and genres of tabletop gaming¸ I offer you Decimation ¸ a Role-Playing Wargame (RPW) set in World War II¸ ideal for miniatures and models of 28mm or 1:72 scale. The game's theme is a blend between classic¸ out-of-print¸ boxed wargames¸ modern wargaming miniature systems¸ and traditional pen-and-paper fantasy role-playing games.
You can utilize these rules for any scale of infantry models¸ figures¸ miniatures or armor you desire¸ enjoy collecting¸ painting¸ building¸ and of course¸ how much gaming space you have. Scale only dictates how we measure distance¸ not how we measure fun.
Decimation is unique. Instead of controlling large groups of units at a macro scale divisions¸ brigades¸ regiments¸ battalions¸ companies¸ platoons¸ or squads as a single actionable unit¸ you control individual soldiers¸ called Soldier Characters . The number of soldier characters you play is up to you¸ but an ensemble cast around a squad-sized group captures the intensity and combat tactics of the infantryman. As a player¸ you make the decisions for each of your soldier characters on an individual basis leveraging their team-focused weapons¸ training¸ and tactics to maximize effectiveness.
Unlike war games¸ Decimation functions with a Referee whose responsibility is to prepare the world¸ scale maps¸ the mission¸ the scenario at hand¸ along with controlling the enemy forces the players encounter. This style of player-to-referee relationship is common among fantasy role-playing games and is essentially the same in Decimation . For the wargamer¸ well-versed in historical military squad tactics of the various major powers¸ you can breathe as much detail here you deem necessary to satisfy your idea of fun.
Decimation provides you a basic framework for character progression and combat. Embellish as you see fit¸ leaning more towards your fantasy role-playing game sensibilities or your wargamer's passion for historical accuracy.
