This is incredible, Iโ€™ve the same limited exposure to war games as you, but love the history and the idea (also played WH40K as a kid). Will be all over this when itโ€™s ready ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Yeah so glad to hear. It's getting pretty close to a (very rough) draft. So I may be sharing it soon.

Thanks for the encouragement. For me I like to make games that I find fun, and I'm having a lot of fun playing this at the moment.

Can I check out your current draft?

Soon I hope. Maybe a month or so. Still working through some fundamental aspects. It isn't really a 'game' yet if that makes sense. However, you can check out my one-page RPG i'll release soon called Draw! which has similar mechanics.

I think so. Lotโ€™s of development in the future but so far the bones seem good.

You'll be able to see some of this in action for my one page RPG submission, Draw! Which is using many of the mechanics from Shot and Spell.

This game looks fun! A โ€œminiatures agnosticโ€ game that can take solo skirmish games to the next!

Iโ€™ve been play testing what I got so far and I can tell you it is fun! Simple war gaming on 1 piece of paper.

For me, the epitome of solo narrative wargaming is anything by Two Hour Wargames. their stuff doesn't require terrain or miniatures, but allows for it as an optional extra.
