No Stars in Sight. Hard scifi platoon action

ADD TO WISHLIST >

“Tactical Gain of 4.7% from estimated attack vectors”
The AI module kept chattering as incoming gauss fire churned up the ground. On the screens, they had made enlistment look pretty slick. Powered armour suits, gravity suspension vehicles, high tech wizardry.

It's still mud and blood. No matter how good the tech, in the end, you still need someone to bleed in the mud.

Welcome to the battlefields of the 22nd century.

* * * * *

No Stars in Sight is your guide to platoon level "hard scifi" warfare on a near-future battlefield.

Using the battle-tested game mechanics of No End in Sight, the game offers you:

A turn sequence that keeps you involved and making choices about how hard to push each squad leader.

Movement and reaction fire mechanics that emphasize the difficulty in maneuvering over open ground. Every rush across that fire swept ground is a gamble. This is not your dads opportunity fire!

Combat rules that are straight forward and emphasize suppression over unrealistic casualty rates.

A solid military feel.

A variety of troop types possible: Insurgents, special operations teams, powered armour "walking tanks" bristling with fire power.

A high-tech battlefield: Hackers, drone operators, grav tanks, exo-suits and much more.

Campaign rules and random scenario generation.

A full-featured points system to help guide your scenario setup.

A series of aliens covering 12 archetypes from popular fiction and scifi media. Implacable robots, skittering bugs and ancient, refined aliens rub shoulders with honourable warriors and horrifying human-machine hybrids.

* * * * *

A typical game is a reinforced platoon with vehicles in support.

Any figures in your collection can be used, provided they are based individually. Ideal for 15mm.

This is a full stand-alone game and does not require a copy of No End in Sight to play.

I'm an old Stargrunt gamer and FD veteran, so we have forces generally consisting of reinforced platoons with squads of 8, 1-2 special weapons each, and 6 PA. Each squad has its own transport, and there are a few command vehicles. From what I can see of NSIS and Company Commander, our forces sort in between the scales of these two games? NSIS seems geared more towards tinkering with individual squad members (so would 4-6 squads plus vehicles bog down?), and the squad sizes seem limited by the d6 action points. Would boosting action points to a d8 work for the larger squads? Or ... would keeping our squads together (sort of a "virtual base") let us play Company commander with them? Cheers

Cheers. The D6 is a bit of limiting factor to squad sizes as you say. Playtest games were generally a mechanized platoon with some support (so 3 squads, 3 apc's, a tank or two).
Using a D8 will definitely work.

You could swap out single figures for stands of 3 (for example) and play "as is" as well. (So instead of a squad of 5 men, you have 5 fireteams in a unit). That can feel like fudging a little but it works rather well. Just swap some terminology as needed.

As an aside, glad to see another old Stargrunt guy. We played a LOT of SG2.

How does this differ from your original F.A.D. Ruleset which I thought was pretty perfect.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
