Title: Boarding Actions
Post by: Charbe86 on March 24, 2017, 09:05:23 pm

Does anyone know of a skirmish game that would be good for running boarding scenarios?

I think a great option is Infinity! It's a fairly intense game, but it is a fantastic and clean ruleset. If you have Warhammer 40K models you could use Zone Mortalis. You could also use less well known rulesets like Gruntz.

Zone Mortalis looks interesting, but all I can find is the forge world terrain and a vague fan wiki.  Who actually makes the rules?

The terrain from forgeworld is really cool! But also crazy expensive. You could always do something cheaper like spartan scenics, or make your own, or even just use old dungeon crawl board game tiles. Could probably find those cheap.
As for the rules they are a PDF download from forgeworld. I'm fairly certain it's free though.

Found the link to the rules, thanks.  Looks pretty straight forward, a mate and I were actually looking for something like this about 8 years ago.
