  • GURPS Mass Combat ! This Powerful Abstract System Lets You Resolve Land, Sea, and Air Battles at Any Tech Level with Just a Few Die Rolls
    Hordes of orcs. Axis invaders. Starbeasts of Jupiter. Sooner or later, your campaign is likely to encounter battles too large to resolve with ordinary GURPS combat. The answer: GURPS Mass Combat ! This powerful abstract system lets you resolve land, sea, and air battles at any tech level with just a few die rolls. Features include: • Rules for logistics, movement, reconnaissance, and many other things that matter to a military force even when no enemy is in sight. • Integral treatment of air superiority, amphibious assaults, airborne troops, sieges, and everything else that’s important when the enemy is in sight. • Round-by-round resolution that puts the commander in control of dozens to tens of thousands of warriors, lets him choose his strategies, and then instantly shows him the results of his skill and cunning. • Equal attention to the aftermath of battle: pursuit, casualties, looting, recovering losses, and more. GURPS Mass Combat provides extensive examples, quick-reference tables, and ready-to-go stats for the strength, weaponry, and mobility of the units involved. It’s all generic, too, covering traditional, fantastic, and superscience troops at every tech level, and providing guidelines for customizing their quality, special training, and equipment. And it never loses sight of the fact that GURPS is a roleplaying game – every hero gets a chance to shine, and the rules emphasize what the PCs do and what happens to them. GURPS Mass Combat requires only the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition. By David L. Pulver Edited by Sean Punch Cover Art by Abrar Ajmal, Chris Dien, Bob Stevlic, Chris Quilliams, and Leo Winstead Illustrated by Angela Bostick, Guy Burwell, Eric Hotz, and Dan Smith 1ST EDITION , 2 ND PRINTING PUBLISHED AUGUST 2010 ISBN 978-1-55634-800-6 Printed in $14.99 SJG 01-6197 the USA Hordes of orcs.
