Black Ops
Featuring stealthy extraction and surveillance missions to overt raids and assaults, this volume offers a wargame of tactical espionage combat that recreates the tension and excitement.
A skirmish wargame of spies, assassins, special forces, and the missions that can never be revealed.
Black Ops is a skirmish wargame of tactical espionage combat that recreates the tension and excitement of modern action-thrillers such as the Bond and Bourne films. The fast-play rules keep all the players in the thick of the action, while the mission generator provides a wide range of options for scenarios β from stealthy extraction or surveillance missions to more overt raids and assaults.
Stealth, combat, and technical expertise all have a role to play, and players may recruit a number of different operative types β spies, mercenaries, criminals, hackers, special forces, and many more β to recruit the best possible team for the job. Players may also choose to join a faction β powerful organisations, intelligence agencies, criminal syndicates, militaries, or rebel groups, each with a stake in international affairs.
By doing so, their team may receive certain benefits, but may also find itself limited at a crucial time. With the variety offered by the characters, factions, and scenarios, no two games of Black Ops should ever be the same!
