Tactical Drone Warfare is now available!
Tactical Drone Warfare (TDW) is a solitaire game that puts you in charge of a crew running drone missions during the first phase of the Russo-Ukraine conflict, 2022–2024. The game cover missions such as reconnaissance, target identification, precision strikes, artillery spotting and battle damage assessment (BDA).
In TDW you will need to manage signal strength, watch your battery drain, and try not to get jammed or picked off by small arms fire while the enemy gets more alert with every pass.
Night missions bring their own challenge: thermal-equipped drones let you switch between visual mode (sharp on identification, weak on detection) and thermal mode (heat signatures light up like beacons, but make flying without a visible horizon a real challenge).
TDW can be played in three modes:
- Basic game: select one of the available Missions.
- Operations Mode: select one of the available Operations, structured sequence of Missions with shared intelligence and carry-forward consequences.
- Campaign Mode: play a series of Missions and Operations, earning experience, improving skills, and unlocking specializations that make each crew member unique.

The game is now avaiable on Wargame Vault as a PnP title, and includes a Vassal module allowing it play TDE with zero-preparation. Get the game here: https://site.wargamevault.com/product/582077/Tactical-Drone-Warfare
