Spectre Operations: Revised Edition

Spectre: Operations is a miniature wargame focused on modern, near-future, and special operations warfare. Players control small, elite teams or larger forces in tactical, mission-driven scenarios like hostage rescue, high-value target elimination, or surveillance, using a D10-based system that emphasizes maneuvering and engagement.

Key Features and Mechanics:

Gameplay & Dynamics: The system is interactive, featuring a momentum-based turn mechanic where teams use momentum to perform actions, requiring tactical management of stress and firepower.
Scope: Games are typically small-scale (skirmish) but support everything from clandestine operations with few models to combined arms engagements involving vehicles, drones, and air support.
Realism: The rules emphasize realistic combat, featuring detailed rules for urban environments, nighttime operations, and diverse weaponry.
Force Options: Players can field a variety of factions, including special forces, private military contractors (PMCs), insurgents, or conventional military units.
Expansion & Support: The game is supported by a dedicated model line from Spectre Miniatures, with the Frontlines expansion adding further vehicle combat and specialized rules.
It is designed for rapid,, narrative-driven gameplay, often compared to tactical, modern-day shooter games and spy thrillers.
