Meeples & Miniatures – Episode – Gruntz – Tales of @TheBrummieDwarf
Nov 11, · The same applies to rules of course and after having scoured countless pages, blogs and groups on the subject of Sci-Fi skirmishing, a set of rules that really stood out for me was Gruntz 15mm, by Rottenlead Publishing. Gruntz 15mm was designed from the ground up to be a fast play skirmish level wargame using combined arms, designed. Playing By The Rules - A Guide to 15mm Rulesets For new gamers, one of the most daunting aspects of 15mm Sci-Fi is the wide variety of available rulesets. When it comes to traditional "big games" (Warhammer 40,, Infinity, Battletech, Firestorm Armada, etc.), you typically buy your rules and miniatures from a single company. I like gruntz rules, but haven't done the spec ops add on. You could adapt infinity or necrounda to 15mm. I like alien squad leader as well. welcome to 15mm too by the blogger.com are in luck the scale has lots of options.

Nice review. Excellent ruleset and the unit builder lets you create any kind of army you want, unlike many other "open" games. Good review. Thank you for that! I've been thinking about picking up grunts.
Well worth picking up. Cost, gruntz 15mm rules pdf download, storage Never played warmachine but I am looking for something to play 15mm Hammers Slammers style actions. This might be a bit less tankcentric than Crucible Vehicles fit well into the game as opposed to some rules where vehicles are kinda bolted on so Hammers Slammers wouldn't be a problem Tomorrow's War on the other hand, seems better focussed on "hard" sci fi so it might also be worth a look.
Thought i would leave gruntz 15mm rules pdf download comment to show the longevity and utility of your posts. I just listened to the latest Meeples and Miniatures podcast episode in which they interview the author of these rules, Robin Fitton.
BTW the author has now released a set of print on demand cards for random activation, which also incorporate random events and temporary effects. Sounds like that would be a neat addition to the game. Pleased to hear it! I haven't played it for ages and as it's updated quite often my opinion may gruntz 15mm rules pdf download out of date; no better than any other.
Games that lend themselves well to solo play are ones with reaction mechanics with reaction mechanics or ones that force logical play Tomorrow's War, for example,would be easier for me to play both sides, as it tends to force a certain style of play.
Or you do something like could borrow a Two Hour Wargame reaction mechanic have a look at the free Chain Reaction 3. From what I see on videos it looks well suited to solo play. The author claims to play it that way often. Tried THW stuff but always seemed too complicated to figure out. I just can't seem to grasp the rules, gruntz 15mm rules pdf download. You can play anything solo if you want. I don't recall anything that makes Gruntz especially suited to it, compared to other games.
Though they have improved of late Free CR3. That's the one I was using. I was also talking with Ed Teixera about it as well. I feel like I need to play a game with someone who knows how in order to get it. I did purchase their racing game though, gruntz 15mm rules pdf download.
That's not a sign of clear, well laid out rules writing. Thing is, gruntz 15mm rules pdf download, I want to love THW's rules.
Ed is a very nice guy, and thus far has given me loads of great customer support, very responsive to questions and I believe he has a true passion for his work. That said, a bit of complicated rules mixed with my style of overthinking stuff when I read rules and I read a lot of them, I'm a ruleset collector tooit just because something I couldn't gruntz 15mm rules pdf download into.
I've tried twice now, and perhaps I'll give it another shot sometime, but I don't like that I had to take my own notes from the rulebook and collect all answers to questions I've seen in the forums and try to piece together some of the mechanics.
Being a Warmachine guy, this was no-brainer for my first foray into 15mm. I do need to check out Tomorrow's War now too. I've got ruleset ADHD. If you are familiar with Warmachine, Gruntz would be a good starting point.
Well worth a look to have a well rounded "education" :- Gruntz 15mm rules pdf download to the world of war-game collecting. I think I did a few "favourite rules" lists index, right side of this blog? I decided to forgo Tomorrow's War due to price.
Gruntz seems to fit the need for uncomplicated but fun rules at an affordable price. I had a few rules questions I wanted answered so I hope I can find an active forum somewhere, gruntz 15mm rules pdf download. Gruntz is a nice set of rules for sure - until the game size exceeds the number of different coloured sets of d6 dice you have.
Then on to your next squad For me, the vehicle rules are what let it down - I'm quite an avid armoured vehicle fan WW2 and so on and I've read a fair amount on the subject and I found the idea of the damage track somewhat annoying - either the armour is penetrated or its not. If it is, odds are Kill, perhaps Mobility or Weapon kill. If not then there's a smaller chance of M or W kill. But accumulated battering type damage?
These are 50 ton tanks, not 50, ton battleships! But 15mm is most definitely the way to go, and GZG proffer superb service! I don't think TW offers much over Stargrunt, gruntz 15mm rules pdf download, though I've not played the latter. I live in Australia, and once ordered minis on Thursday arvo and got them on Monday - that's 4 days from the UK to my door; can echo the good service bit!
Gruntz is a sensible consistent set of rules, but pretty much a direct copy of Warmachine in every way, both in resolution of dice, and treating vehicles as "warlocks" - which are sort of gruntz 15mm rules pdf download war machine robot monsters and are expected to die slowly i.
I'm not sold on the 2d6 as the distribution curve makes modifiers inconsistent. As you say, throwing lots of 2d6 sets is a pain in the butt. Perhaps it should have deviated more from the source material. Hi again, The 2d6 system is an issue, gruntz 15mm rules pdf download, but so is the claim of 'flexibility'.
Whilst I agree that it IS flexible in some ways, Gruntz what is it with this 'Z' thing anyway - Gruntz, Gruntz 15mm rules pdf download, Modz - the flexibility is actually quite rigid in that you can only create units the way the designer thinks you should.
What happens if your alien race uses a trinary command structure? What happens if your alien squad has more than 10 troops in it? Why can't you design a vehicle family - APC, AA vehicle, rocket artillery, anti-tank, all on a standard chassis like many modern militaries do - use Gruntz and the APC comes in as a GSV but the anti-tank vehicle has to be a tank different stats to the GSV the rocket artillery is yet another type of vehicles with different stats again - so much for multiple functions on an 'identical' chassis.
Whilst many will find this just a minor niggle the inability to recreate my forces the way I originally designed them for USE ME 15mm meant that, with my other more system issues got fed up with the faffing and went back to a truly flexible system.
And to be fair - the writer really should've thanked Privateer for the use of their game system. I know that systems can't be copyrighted, but none the less it'd be polite to thank them.
After all, they did all the work, he just changed an few bits. But it is well was - I haven't played my 15mm sci fi for ages enough to let you grab your favourite 15mm models and make an army.
Why does my copy of Gruntz says there are blank unit record sheets inside when there are none. And compared to Strike Legion: Platoon Commander, why the lack of example units? If some had been included as in almost all other similar games you at least could play your new game straight out of the Amazon packaging.
I wish I had spent my money else where. I'm sure you're familiar with the format of this meme. Here's my version: 1. Take Warmachine rulebook 2. Replace "Warjacks" with "Vehicles. Replace steampunk terminology with sci fi terminology and rename stat lines. The rules are well presented and obviously made by a gamer, for gamers. Plentiful examples, diagrams, and pictures of minis Terrain for 15mm is also cheap, and easy to store.
A simple 4x3 sand table is surprisingly easy to make and maintain. Labels: 15mm Sci FiRules Review.

An introductory Gruntz review and a Gruntz AAR: Operation Blind Emu As I mentioned before, the Gruntz rulebook includes rules for alternating activations, and the game runs quite smoothly with them. I know this is an old post, but I'm just getting into Gruntz and 15mm, and after all the videos I watched, if you use the alternating.
