Renegade Scout 2: Bleeding Edge Retro Gaming

Welcome to Renegade Scout.

What is Renegade Scout? Other than 206 pages jammed full of gaming goodness?

This is a set of science fiction miniatures rules aimed at not only recapturing the spirit and feel of old school science fiction gaming, but presenting it in an updated and improved form, combining familiar mechanics with the polish and elegance expected in a modern game.

Using this system, you can command everything from tentacle aliens to squads of futuristic troopers, tanks, walkers, dinosaurs and more. Rules include off-map support, supernatural powers and a host of strange terrain features and world conditions to fight among.

If you are looking to revive some of your favorite old miniatures, note that Renegade Scout is profile compatible with the two first editions of the most popular gothic scifi wargame, allowing troops and weapons to be used as is, but with sleeker and more elegant mechanics.

If you want a fully fledged space opera setting to dive into, you can explore the worlds of Unified Space, where a host of alien species battle for supremacy, from the blood-stained cyborg troops of the Converted to the proud K'Erin and mysterious Engineers.

If you want to just open the book and play, we include 8 Battle Scenarios ready to play with your own armies, as well as the Objective Battle letting you fight an unpredictable encounter with randomly generated objectives. Scenario driven gaming more your speed? An array of tools and mechanics cover everything from radio communications to barricading doors.

The Army Builder allows you to construct a huge range of forces for any of the included troop types, for pick-up games using an army list and a fully fledged points system lets you build your own custom forces.

Want something a bit bigger? Why not start a Persistent Game where your troops gain experience from battle to battle. Perfect for campaigns or league play.

In short, almost whatever it is you are into and whatever scale of miniatures you enjoy, Renegade Scout has something for you.

Note that this is a fully updated 2nd edition of the rules, featuring much expanded content, material from several supplements, brand new options and far more pick-up-and-play possibilities than before.

If you are an experienced player, please enjoy this new edition generously funded by the fan base.
