The galaxy needs heroes more than ever. Whether it’s helping hold the Empire together, pushing alien invaders off your homeworld, protecting a new colony on a very dangerous planet, fighting off an attack by machines, or any kind of tough job where you can’t just bomb a planet into submission, we’ll need your best squad!
We Need Your Best Squad is a solo tabletop adventure game where your main character is the leader of an elite Squad of troopers. Your Squad Leader will lead the Squad into danger and strive to bring them back safe through a series of battles against those who would threaten the peace and security of the galaxy. Each game takes the form of a battle between the Squad and another group, and sometimes includes some additional tasks or conditions to fulfill to keep your adventure progressing.
These rules have been specifically designed to be played solo. You completely control your squad, but the adversaries start as randomly moving markers until you spot them and then their reactions are driven by rolls of the dice.
What you have here is a set of Story Arcs. Each consisting of 15 games that revolve around a specific story. Your characters will improve and may get additional equipment which will be needed to take on the steadily more challenging battles. The whole thing becomes a narrative that will differ from campaign to campaign, including some more challenging adventures for an experienced Squad to take on.
You’ll need your own figures for the Squad of 10, groups of adversaries of up to 12 at a time, and around 8 bystanders. A 2 foot square or 3 foot square playing area, ideally with suitable terrain. Also 2D10 and 15 things you can use as markers while the exact positions of your adversaries are still unknown.
