October Hammer. RCW gaming on the cheap!

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Reds, Whites, anarchists, nationalists, Freikorps, Polish army. 

The Russian Civil War is a fascinating period to war game and with October Hammer you can do so easily, quickly and without a huge investment.

October Hammer is what we call a "Mini Miniatures Game": A game that is playable with simple rules, a small collection of figures and for a low price of entry.

Using the same game engine as Squad Hammer and Trench Hammer, the rules are aimed at Beer & Pretzels gaming but with plenty of chrome.

* * * 

The core mechanics are simple and can be taught in minutes.

Games are intended to be short, allowing you to get a rematch the same evening, even with multiple participants.

* * *

Rules cover:

Various troop types from machine guns to partisans to armored cars.

Optional and advanced rules to customize your game.

Campaign and scenario set up rules.

Army lists for 15 different forces, allowing you to quickly generate a force through a combination of random roll and selection systems.

* * *

Playable with both individual figures and with figures organized on troop stands.

You can begin a new war gaming period without owning more than a few stands worth of troops.

The rules are laid out to be as screen and print friendly as possible.

80's nostalgia look.

* * *

Compatible with the Squad Hammer generic rules available here and Trench Hammer available here

A reference sheet will be made available shortly.

Hi,
I just got the rules. Looks promising!
When giving them a fast read I saw that Artillery does 2 Damage. That seems a bit weak, since a Leader does 1 Damage and a Rifle unit 1D6. Is it a typo on page 17?
Should it be maybe 2d6, 1d6+2 or maybe even 2d3?

Regards,
Magnus

After reading the rules twice times, I can't find where is said the range of the weapons. I can see the range for the firefights, but nothing to define the different ranges of the weapons. Are they unlimited?
In affirmative case, to my mind, it is necessary to have the battle board plenty of scenery, doesn't it?
Thanks in advanced

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
