Critics Review

“Lambshead has drummed up streamlined rules where every soldier and intensity are vital. His basic rules are supported by special situational protocals and scenarios so players can re-create everything from history’s military clashes to showdowns between Old West gunfighters or science fiction combat among space marines.”– “Toy Soldier & Model Figure”“From the 95th Rifles scouting for Wellington, Western Gunfights and WWI Trench Raids, through WWII Parachute Assaults or Special Forces Strikes to Afghanistan, or even Space Marines storming a space station, Squad Firefight’s elegantly simple system allows you to focus on proper tactical decisions rather than rolling buckets of dice or calculating masses of modifiers.”– “AMPS Indianapolis”
