Ariete: When things go wrong!

Three images that capture the heart ache of TCS the Tactical Combat System.

First off the simple things. The enemy does what you dont expect, and you are on your orders. How to best adapt and overcome while not disobeying orders or placing your self in a compromised position!

 

The dreaded SYR result. Save Yourself Retreat. – lose half your steps, drop orders in this case and make a run for it….oh and suffer overwatch all the while too for good measure. A clear sign that things are about to get FUBAR!

Anytime you are being attacked and the enemy rolls a red 6…. You know bad shit is coming down the pike. Usually ANY result starting with a 6, i.e. 61 through 66 is gunna mean one at best or more like 3,or 4 steps lost. Very few if any stacks can handle taking losses at that scale. Then…you get to roll for morale for those beleaguered men! You want LOW numbers!

Well, just a quick share of a few still from my 6th video on game play of Ariete! Enjoy.
