Perfect for you if...

  • You're a wargamer who owns miniatures and rules but struggle to design balanced, varied scenarios from scratch.
  • You want plug-and-play missions you can run tonight without hours of prep work.
  • You're looking to string scenarios together into a campaign that actually feels connected rather than random one-offs.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You don't own any wargaming miniatures or rules yet and need guidance on where to start.
  • You prefer narrative-driven campaigns with deep character arcs over tactical skirmish gaming.
  • You game exclusively with a single rules set and don't care about adaptability across different systems.

About this book

This book presents thirty-six sci-fi skirmish scenarios for wargaming. Each mission includes clear objectives, victory conditions, a setup map, and some include special rules. The scenarios are set in Civitas Cavernum (The Sprawl), a dystopian city with factions including Scavs, Proctors, Cultists, and Corporates. While designed for this setting, the scenarios are adaptable to various other settings and rulesets, including those in the author's One-hour Skirmish Wargames. The book also contains three mini-campaigns that link scenarios together in different combinations. Additionally, Lambshead provides guidance on designing custom scenarios and campaigns. Random dice roll tables allow players to generate scenarios quickly, offering varied gameplay options. A reference section lists websites for rules publishers and manufacturers of miniatures and terrain.
