This is now on order for me - the deluxe version. I'm looking forward to this one.

Is this VASSAL version a complete game with all documentation? Can one print it out for easier reading before playing? If so I'm very interested.

I don't know about a vassal version - I'm talking about the boxed board game

I believe that JD is talking about Warfighter while Stagger is talking about Field Commander Rommel.

As for Rommel, yes it's a complete game but not sure if the rules are in a PDF or buried in the module.
DVG modules are locked though so you probably can't print out anything in the module. I was looking at picking this up as well.

Yes - I was referring to the title of the thread and not the other entries in his email.

I missed that about Rommel though. I might have a squiz.

Was just watching a vid and the obvious hit me..


The Shadowrun IP should get a Warfighter treatment. 

Or, at least, a futuristic cyberpunk corporate black-ops themed Warfighter.


Would not only be weapons, kit, and soldiers/runners to purchase on the front end, but also stuff like cybernetics, drones, hacker progs/tools, and possibly spells or psionic abilities.  Could be a wide variety of security & defenses that could be experienced on the path to the final objective. 

The Warfighter system would fit the cyberpunk or cyberfantasy themes perfectly.  ^-^

Naaa... Netrunner was a head-to-head CCG.  In the vein of MtG with deck construction & such.

Great game, but quite different.  Not a co-op/solo game.

I know.  I played early beta versions of it before WotC ever publicly released it.

But there's not much needed to convert it to a solo game (plenty of conversions you can find online) and I can't imagine co-op would be that hard.

Netrunner's theme is also just focused on Matrix running.  I'm talking about proper shadowrun-style B&E op themes - not so much the matrix side.


Shadowrun: Crossfire is enjoyable, but it's a deck-builder.  You don't actually purchase your runners and their guns, ammo, and equipment beforehand.  Plus the locations, and general mission progression, is more abstract; probably, in part, due to being a deck builder.

I've zero interest in either, but, now that you said it, a Cyberpunk adaptation strikes me as much more appealing than the fantasy iteration that was mooted a while ago...

ikr .. seems like it would fit perfectly into the system.

Nef - I think we got ours wires crossed in what I was proposing...

I wasn't saying that DVG's WFer game is like Netrunner.
I was saying that the Shadowrun game you were proposing sounded very Netrunner-y to me.

Well... Netrunner's theme was inspired by Shadowrun's matrix hacking.

Actually, I remember owning some of the original Netrunner CCG from back in the late 90s.  Which the newer LCG is based off.  It was definitely Shadowrun related.

Took my Warfighter footlocker out of the closet yesterday evening and ran two missions.
:bd:

I enjoyed it so much that I am going to spend a big chunk of my day off tomorrow playing some more!
DVG sure knows how to make fun (if lightweight) solitaire games!

They're definitely very enjoyable. I like the WW2 version more than the modern combat, but that's just a thematic personal preference and nothing against either of their games.  O0

Most of today I spent playing Warfighter. Very 'zen' actually after having had the urge to go electronic before all the time.
This was much more relaxing and a day off well spent!

One mission ended in a complete nailbiter where I got stalled by the enemies for 3 turns putting pressure on reaching the objective in time.
When finally reaching it the enemies rolled out the heavy hardware in one go! Mission impossible! ☺️
