The Regiment: Alpha 2.0 playtest

Sunday, August 26, 2012

The alpha 2.0 playtest kit for The Regiment is here.


Changes from alpha 1.0:
- Single-sided, 8.5x11 playbooks. A bit simpler now and ultra-compact!
- Revised and standardized advancement across all playbooks.
- Added new modern era special forces Operator playbook.
- Completely revised moves, both in the playbooks and in the basic set.
- Revised weapon ranges and damage.
- New battle plan mechanic, similar to workspace from AW.
- New unit maneuvers mechanic, to gracefully handle off-screen and NPC actions.

Coming soon, but not done yet:
- The new Unit creation sheet. You can use the old one for now, and use "profile" for "operational effectiveness" in 2.0.

Go ahead and grab it, give it a try, and let us know what you think over on The Regiment forum.

Thanks to all the alpha 1.0 playtesters and fans for your help and support.
