Today, the planet is a torn remnant of its former glory, ravaged by nuclear fallout and mutagens. New lifeforms - Mutants and Synthetics - challenge True Humanity for dominance, while warring factions compete for survival and supremacy, and all must carve out their place in this brutal landscape, or else perish as billions before them. Scrappers is skirmish miniatures game set in the wastelands, where players assemble Scrapper Crews and send them out to scavenge scraps of Ancient technology and battle rival factions. Explorers, cultists and raiders clash with mutated creatures, robotic soldiers and embittered True Humans in this wargame of salvage and survival in the ruins of the future.

Just to say that in the OP, the "Across the Dead Earth" link goes to the wrong post, it should point to: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=61750.msg859868#msg859868

OK, I think it is squared away now. Thanks!

Official Title  First Wave Red Button's Nation Spin Off
In RBN First Wave each player takes command of a group of survivors confronted
For the first time to the threat of the infected. It was also during this period that the first rumors spoke of a link between the infected and the machines. You will therefore be forced to fight against other survivors and against the hostile environment, unless events push you to
Collaborate ... HISTORY Once the great catastrophe had passed, the survivors thought they were lucky, survived the war, the famine and the plunder of the first days. Unfortunately for them, a new threat was emerging near what was left of a military base in the Outpost 13. An infection was affecting every form of life, not just killing, Transformed each patient into a hungry creature. OUTPOST SYSTEM Long before the Great Catastrophe, a partnership was signed between the US military and the world's largest provider of Internet access. In exchange for unlimited access to data, the US government protected, with the best equipment, all the servers needed to
The espionage of populations. 21 Outpost were hidden on the continent and managed by an intelligence
Artificial name Pygmalion. Only two of its centers have escaped destruction, the one based in the basements of the former Washington and the number 13, now inaccessible.


Dans RBN First Wave chaque joueur prend le commandement d'un groupe de survivants confrontés
pour la première fois à la menace des infectés. C'est aussi à cette période que naquirent les premières rumeurs parlant d'un lien entre les infectés et les machines. Vous serez donc amené à lutter contre d'autres survivants et contre l'environnement hostile, à moins que les événements ne vous poussent à
collaborer… HISTOIRE Une fois la grande catastrophe passée, les survivants se crurent chanceux, ils avaient survécu à la guerre, à la famine et au pillage des premiers jours. Malheureusement pour eux, une nouvelle menace était en train de prendre naissance près de ce qui restait d’une base militaire l’Outpost 13. Une infection était en train d'affecter toute forme de vie, elle ne se contentait pas de tuer, elle transformait chaque malade en créature affamée. SYSTEME OUTPOST Bien avant la Grande Catastrophe, un partenariat fut signé entre l’armée américaine et le plus grand fournisseur d’accès au réseau internet du monde. En échange d’un accès illimité aux données, le gouvernement américain protégeait, avec le meilleur équipement, tous les serveurs nécessaires à
l’espionnage des populations. 21 Outpost furent dissimulés sur le continent et gérés par une intelligence
artificielle nommée Pygmalion. Seuls 2 de ses centres ont échappés à la destruction, celui basé dans les sous-sols de l’ancienne Washington et le numéro 13, aujourd’hui inaccessible.

My Basic Modern Wargame rules

What's attached here are basically the quick-n-dirty rules that I used for my Zombietown Massacre game.   They're fast, bloody, not particularly detailed but loads of fun.    I just refreshed them a bit and am offering them here for your amusement.

I printed these double-sided and laminated them, then handed them to each player in the game.

Zombietown Game external link (lots of building models and how they were created) - http://www.skankgame.com/zombietown.html

So if you're looking for fast-play rules and can't find something that does it for you, use mine.   Feel free to modify them as you need.
