Description

Wild Geese: living on the front line, Mercenary Units In Action Around The World, 1960’s To The 1990’s.

The life of a mercenary depends upon the accounts you read or your approach to the topic. On one level, mercenary life can seem romantic, an adventure, where often noble Soldiers of Fortune venture forth to save lives, right wrongs and vanquish the evil within our world. On another, mercenary life can appear fraught with danger, hardship and eventual death, with little or no support from uncaring employers. The truth is, the reality can be seen as a blend of these and many other factors. What is known is that mercenaries in one form or another have been instrumental in toppling governments, creating nations and preserving peace / ensuring war across the globe, especially during the post-1945 period and up until the modern day.

The information and rules within this book are designed to reflect the life of a mercenary unit during this tumultuous period within many regions and countries. It blends fact and fiction to create a simple, workable framework within which tabletop units and battles can be created in a range of circumstances.
It is designed to be a skirmish level game using suitable miniatures from 15 to 28mm size, plus buildings, vehicles and other items that are scaled to fit.
Games can represent one-off encounters or be a part of a series of battles, perhaps even a narrative campaign where the units you and your fellow gamers come up with develop over time.

Remember: Get in, get out, get paid -
where the Wild Geese roam, lesser men fear to tread…
