Tactics HC

SCALE UP YOUR CAMPAIGN!

Unleash bigger battles, wider conflicts, and new stories, spanning solo, head-to-head, and campaign play in this completely stand-alone scenario-driven variation of the popular Five Parsecs from Home tabletop game.

Tactics takes adventure wargaming from starports and back alleys to the battlefields of Unified Space. This scenario-focused version of Five Parsecs from Home is all about creativity:

The 212-page, full colour, Royal-size (15.6cm x 23.4cm) hardcover features:

• Play solo or with friends, in single games or campaigns, with or without a Game Master.
• Make your own scenarios for the troops you choose, playing games your way.

• Features an array of troops, characters, creatures, and situations.
• Packed with random tables to keep you facing the unexpected.
• Tactics is also a stand-alone game, yet fully compatible with 5PFH, with rules for transferring characters and events between the systems.
