war theatre generator (Beta) released!

A new generator for Space Infantry is now available: War Theatre.

This new generator is aimed to the creation of "pseudo-random" maps to play the "classical" sci-fi warfare missions: recon, enemy HQ attack, destructions of military facilities (the Titan factory is the first example). Events will cover minefields, smoke, artillery fire and so on.

Currently two types of missions are available: "Recon" and "Titan's Forge", specifically designed for the new Titan Enemy card. Please consider that this generator is an a very early stage of development, so it's perfectly possible that some missions could include some "bizzarre" layouts: still by cliking on the "Generate New Layout" button most of the time you'll get a very interesting map.

The focus of this module is on the surface/urban missions, but depending on your feedback I could expand it to other battlefields like deserts, jungles, ice and of course asteroid fields.

For more info and to discuss this new tool please go the the BoardGame Geek forum.

first version of the vehicle rules and a new enemy card released.

The first version of the Vehicle Rules is now available here: http://zak965.it/spaceinfantry/vehicles/Vehicle%20Rules.pdf

To support those rules a new Enemy Card, The Titan, has been released, in addition to a new Location ("The Factory") and a new counter for the Scorpio, a portable Anti-Vehicle weapon.

Cards and counters are available here.

The Location Card "The Factory" makes possible to use the Titan Enemy card in any surface mission as a secondary objective: I suggest to use the Titan with the Cybers or Mercenaries.

starship generator released!

The Starship Generator is now available: generate new Missions automatically with this new utility available here.

This new utility is capable of automatically generating a new mission map (in PNG format) and a PDF file with the mission rules (setup, objectives, events).

Three mission types are available at the moment:

• Recon (explore an unknown enemy ship)
• Intruder! (find and destroy a letal Enemy: a new random Xeno is created every time you generate a new Mission!)
• Prisoners (free the prisoners in the cell block)

Two main paramenters are available to control the ship creation: "Difficulty" determines the Node Requirements and Event proababilityes while "Complexity" controls the layout of the ship (length,secondary branches...).

The new cards are available in the resources page:  the zipfile includes all the StratOps of the base game plus several new StratOps never published like "Mines""Platoon HQ Cohordination".

space infantry is finally shipping!

After a  looong wait the game is finally shipping: in a few days the P500 copies will arrive at their destination. Thanks to all the people that supported this project.
I will shortly start to release the free game addons (new units, resource, missions): i'm working on the Character Generator to make possible the creation of all the basic Units in their final forma.

http://zak965.it/spaceinfantry/generator/

The main objective of this simple tool is to have a "personalized" Leader counter with your name on it and different skill levels.

Please note that the graphics are not the final one: i will update them once the game is released.

I will add probably one or two othe units before the release of the game; once SI will be published the generator will include many more options:

• Every base unit will be included
• Different head images
• Additional fields related to the Talents (as an example an additional wound or Armor)

MARCH the 25th, 2010

SPACE infantry will be published BY LnL Games! Good (and bad) news

Lock'n Load proposed me to publish Space Infantry as a "professional" title: this is clearly a great opportunity to promote a game born as a free title and to improve the project by collaborating with professionals.

The dark side of this proposal is that the free version of Space Infantry is no more available for download, at least  for the moment.

I really thanks all the people that supported me in this project, and i hope that you'll enjoy the new version of the game once published (more on this soon).

I'll continue to support the game on BGG for those lucky enough to get the free version of SI: at the same time i'll try to figure out with the published how to release some additional (free) material in this site. If you want to test the game, a wonderful    .

Thank again

Zak
