Reading PDFs is a pain, but THW are located in the US, and with shipping the printed version most likely would end up more expensive than having it printed and bound here. I liked the idea of Citizen Soldier, so I went for that one. The third, Citizen Soldier, is centered around the player character’s adventures of rising through the ranks to attain citizen status in Gaea Prime. Gaea Prime First Defense deals with an alien invasion on a human-held planet (rather X-Com. The first covering proper Space Marine stuff: Boarding actions, meeting exotic peoples in exotic locations and killing them, and so on. There currently are three different variants of 5150:Star Army available (not counting role-playing games or space combat): Star Marine, Gaea Prime First Defence and Citizen Soldier. The latest version of 5150 I had on my hard drive was from 2012, so this purchase was entirely justified. So I bought the latest version of 5150: Star Army, Citizen Soldier. And I’m very much a “wargamer see, wargamer do” type of monkey it seems. Somehow I was in a sci-fi mood, not the least because Cpt.Shandy got way into 15mm sci-fi recently and has been posting very fun looking games over the past months. While ATZ gives a unique gaming experience and I’m not averse to zombie survival gaming, I think that these rules play best with other people rather than solo. Seeing as how these circumstances probably won’t change much in the first half of 2021, I thought it would be a good idea to have a look at these rules again. For many people 2020 was big on solo wargaming due to the pandemic. When it comes to solo or cooperative play THW games are sure to be mentioned. Those are All Things Zombie (zombie survival), Nuts! (fireteam to platoon level WW2) and 5150:Star Army (squad to platoon level sci-fi). Starting with tabletop wargames with a particular focus on solo and cooperative play, THW in more recent years took the mechanisms and moved them into tabletop RPGs and board games as well.Īmong all of these there are three which are constantly updated and over the years got staggering numbers of expansions, spin-offs and variants. Over the past 15 years Two Hour Wargames, run by the industrious Ed Teixeira, released a ton of rules sets for all sorts of settings and historical period. …or rather 5150: Star Army Citizen Soldier. Today I’ll have a closer look at 5150: Citizen Soldier by Two Hour Wargames. Welcome to the first review of 2021! Hope everybody had a good start into the new year.
