Rogue star ,osprey sci fi skirmish rules

[YPU]

Do we know if there will be any vehicle rules included?
I'm not talking for armoured actions (I realise it's not that kind of rules) but for lighter vehicles - perhaps buggies or jeeps with a machine gun on top?
If so, then this could be spot on for me.

Now I want speeder bikes!

I'm much excited about those rules. They are promising what other rules in the past promised but in one way or the other failed to deliver. As much excited I'm about this release as much do I fear it's yet another spin of the "Song of..." rules. So I'm waiting for the first in-depth reviews coming...

I thought both Gods and Mortals and Fistful of Kung-Fu turned out very nicely.

It was claimed it was a completely new system. Andrea Sfiligoi can do more than the "song of..." engine. His Battlesworn game is actually very cool and deserves some more attention.

Its a little like my personal dream of Khurasan Alien Foreign Legion  in 28mm

CP Models has done that trope already, and done it well.

Not too happy with some of those figures, but the rulebook sounds really well. A detailed level skirmish game is what I am looking for!

From reading some the the previews it seems to be a little based on the 'Song of...' engine with rolls for activations and interrupts with failed rolls etc. That's not a problem as that system works ok IMO. Also looks like some of the infinity style of multiple activations with a single fig vs. move everything once - but wth penalties to do so and hopefully without the complexity and bad issues in infinity.

I hold out hope that this is a simplified and playable 'generic' sci-fi game. Only time will tell...

There are other options on the market already - this, for example:

as well as its ancestor, Blasters & Bulkheads.

Yes picked that up already plus I have various other rules sets as well. Have not tried it yet though...

Any chance of a link to these previews you've seen?

I'm pretty happy with VP, but I'll probably still break down and get RS as well.  Cross-pollination of ideas and all that.

Thanks for the recommendation, Agis. Bought it yesterday as well and what I've read already has been quite impressive. After getting Rogue Stars I can compare and will decide what I like most ...

[Juan]

I´m going to compare both of them too, with the new figures from Lead Adventure, I expect...
