DEFIANCE: THE CHRONICLE OF AN ERA Welcome to the Defiance Universal Skirmish System™, the game of near future and science fiction tactical combat that lets you modify or even create the strategic setting in which your battles will take place. With force sizes varying from one unit to several platoons, each trooper matters, and the correct combination of mobility, firepower, command and control is crucial to your success. The U.S.S. Army Customizer is a comprehensive and statistically based force construction tool that literally allows you to design any weapon, any trooper and any army that you can imagine, all the while being assured that your creation will be balanced for play against any other U.S.S. force list. A lot of work and testing went into the Customizer, and we feel that you will not find a more versatile or more balanced universal force construction tool on the market today. |

| It is obvious that this system has been meticulously developed and very well tested … in fact, if you consider yourself a serious gamer, and like skirmish level sci-fi games, I would say that you are cheating yourself if you don’t give Defiance a go. -- Fictional Reality A very well designed and solid generic science fiction miniature game for 28mm or 15mm miniatures, with probably the best army and troops creation tool in the market today. --Jouni
Pohjola D:VG is [simply] the finest skirmish-level miniatures game I've ever seen, and the graphic presentation sets a new standard for the hobby games industry ... I am simply flabbergasted by how good this game is ... Keep doing stuff like this and you will never stop collecting my money. WOW! What a well written book!! ... This book is loaded with examples. After every summary of a rule is a well explained example! --Wes Camp For twenty bucks there was a whole lot that I liked in Starslayer and very little that I did not ... For the cost of a handful of figures you’ll be getting a flexible system that allows you to build the troops that you want. Yes, absolutely recommended for any fan of sci-fi tabletop miniature games. --Fictional Reality, June 2004 If you like detailed rule sets, which allow for variety and complexity, then Starslayer: Genesis could be for you. -- Gladiator, Miniaturegamers.com Read the entire review of Starslayer: Genesis Ascendance is a fantastic supplement to Genesis. The storyline and army lists strike a great balance between Science Fiction and Historical gaming where both audiences will find quite a bit of fun... -- Rodney Harper, Miniaturegamers.com Read the entire review of Starslayer: Ascendance I liked Starslayer: Genesis, but Ascendance has all the best bits to the power of ten. The fluff is good. The armies are AWESOME! They're so good! I can't decide which is cooler. And they have a hell of a lot of flavour ... This is not a cheap rip-off of an empire or a bit of history tacked onto a lacking concept to give it some respectability, nor tearing all of the symbols and visual cues out of a context and slapping them on something from pop-sci-fi. It is imaginative and thoughtful fiction... -- Sam Hart I can honestly say that they are the best sci-fi skirmish rules I've played. -- Eric Garvue From the point of view of someone that has been involved in 'skirmish' warfare, Starslayer is the best representation of that level of warfare I've seen. -- Dan Brown ...we are COMPLETE novices at table top games, but enjoyed [playing Starslayer]. Once we caught on to the modifiers, turn sequence, and the morale issues, the game played very smoothly. ...a solid minis wargame with straightforward mechanics and a really intriguing universe based on historical groups. With the balanced creation system, you always end up with an army that you know the exact combat value of in relation to another army. Your imagination is the key, and you can create with whatever you have on hand to represent the figures you need. In my opinion, building the army is like a labor of love...and then you get to use it! |
