The sixth title in the excellent and expanding USE ME game system series concerns itself deep space and starship combat. From fighters to battleships along with dogfight to fleet actions this system by O.G.Joel takes you off the ground! USE ME means 'Ultra Simple Engine for Miniature Engagements' and this system delivers just that. Tactically challenging, easy to learn and for any age of wargamer. From skirmish to full battles, games last from five minutes to an hour. Play in your lunch break or in the evening when the idea of a really complex system with a long set up time really does not appeal. Pick up any of your miniatures and vehicles and get playing in minutes.
This complete rules system is printed in A6 format which is a booklet which will fit in your pocket (110mm by 180mm) making it truly portable as well as fantastic value for your money. USE ME is just that...its for you!
With the sixth title in the USE ME game system we decided to leave not only the ground but also the atmosphere to bring you a set of rules for Starship Battles. You can learn all about the other titles in the USE ME range on the website but in terms of this title our aim was to produce a stand alone system for space vehicles from the smallest fighters to the mightiest dreadnoughts in any setting. It would also have a bolt on interface to allow you to make use of UM001 USE ME 15mm Science Fiction for boarding actions, planet fall and invasions too. Whither you Trek or you seek Babylon or anything else in space you can make it happened with this rules set.
Author of USE ME WWII and USE ME Modern Warfare O.G.Joel relished the challenge of a space based system for the USE ME range. His mechanics are heavily adapted from the core D6 based engine used by other USE ME titles and the result is excellent. Easily scalable, usable with metal, plastic and even paper models in any format. From a few fighters right up to whole squadrons and even squadrons among capital ships, you can play any size of action with USE ME SSB.
