The Origins Award winning game of hard science space combat!
Take command of a fusion-propelled spaceship, using the most scientifically accurate model of Space Combat ever put into a game, all with clever play aids and mechanics that hide the math so you can focus on maneuver, timing and resource management!
Fuel fractions with the calculus pre-done for you, declining mass fractions, an easy to manage thermodynamic system, and fully realized and articulated movement in 3D!
Kinetic weapons that have damage scale at the square of the impact velocity, laser weapons that have damage fall off according to the laws of optics, and dozens of scientific notes explaining how the science was calculated to make the rules work, all tied into a comprehensive future history with political intrigue, honor and courage.
Space Combat in the Universe of Honor Harrington!
Saganami Island Tactical Simulator uses the critically acclaimed Attack Vector: Tactical game engine to put you in command of the ships of the Honorverse. Thrill to the long range missile duel, dancing in 3-D vector space with broadsides of laser heads. Or close in to "kissing distance" and unleash the titanic fury of grasers and lasers! An innovative card draw mechanic incorporates "The Honor Factor" without turning the game engine into a series of speciall cases modifying special cases.
Extensively researched, SITS has new material on the ships and doctrines of the Royal Manticoran Navy and the People's Republic Navy. Building rich tactical depth from easy-to-use Newtonian movement, SITS builds on the novels to give you control of small squadron actions in the Honorverse.
SITS uses two game scales - the tactical game scale has 7.5 minute turns, and 125,000 km hexes. The system scale uses 25 light second hexes and 1 hour turns, with simple rules for transitioning between scales.
Every warship in the series will be statted out over the course of this product, including additional ships approved by David Weber himself.
* SITS offers tactical control without massive record keeping - watch salvoes of hundreds of missiles melt away with a handful of die rolls.
* Simultaneous Sequence of Play means that everyone at the table is doing something, rather than waiting for the other guy to finish their turn.
* Accurate, intuitive 3-D movement system, allowing combat to break the plane of the map, and giving unprecedented tactical depth.
In addition to SITS, we are also producing Havenite and Manticoran miniatures, and calendars of ship artwork!
