Terminator Salvation

About Terminator Salvation

Tactical game based on Terminator Salvation movie. SkyNet and Resistance explore ruins of USA, rescue or destroy survivors and fight each other. One or two players lead Resistance. Their goal is either to gain 10 VP or to destroy all SkyNet units and factories. Victory points can be gained while exploring, by locating human survivors in pacticular. And one player takes control over SkyNet forces. They have to either destroy all resistance units or to find and kill all survivors (which are usually found by resistance itself). SkyNet can also explore territory just to find anything usefull for Resistance and destroy it for nothing. At the start of the game, one random map token is placed for every map area hidden. Later these tokens can be explored with different results. One SkyNet factory and a few units placed in one of six ruined cities. Resistance starts in 3 different random cities. Human units are generally weaker than SkyNets' (both sides have 4 types) but better for exploration and interception. Movement, exploration and other actions can be done by playing action cards from hand. Cards also can be traded for new cards. Combat can be initiated either using specific cards or when units of one side enter area with enemy forces (interception takes place if defender desires). In both cases initiator gets first shot using dice, then remaining units fire back once. Unlike such games as Nexus Ops, who makes hits here decides units to be killed.
