Product Description
Never let your opponents say of you, “Brilliant, but his attack patterns show two dimensional thinking…” Move your space combat gaming to new heights with Squadron Strike! Designed by Origins Award winning designer Ken Burnside, Squadron Strike provides the most extensive custom ship design engine on the market and is fully campaign ready. Building off of the streamlined 3-D movement engine of Saganami Island Tactical Simulator, 2nd Edition, Squadron Strike lets you build any ship, from any setting, in full 3-D glory then pit them against each other, in titanic battles for the fate of galaxies.

Squadron Strike takes between 5 and 10 minutes per turn with 6 ships per side, and combines fast play with more tactical depth and scalable detail than any other “construction ready” space combat game. It’s suitable for ages 12 and up.

In Squadron Strike, ships move in one of three movement modes, named for the number of Newton’s Laws being obeyed; with these options you’re not stuck with whatever movement mode the game designer liked – you can pick the one that works best for the setting you’re trying to run in.

You can design nearly everything in the game, from missiles, to beams, to fighters, to torpedoes. An original setting includes pre-built ships and weapons for people who don’t want to get deeply into the customization process, but if you want it, you have complete control.

You also get automated tools do complete SSD generation for you and can create fancier SSDs and use higher-end features with Web-based applications.

Squadron Strike comes with a complete, integrated campaign system, including web apps that automatically generate campaign maps, victory decks, and system maps. Just enter the campaign turn in the web app and the positions of the planets on the system map update automatically!

The boxed game will have two map sheets, a bag of tilt blocks, two bags of stacking tiles, box miniature sheets, a rulebook, an SSD book, and a setting book.
