Miami Vice Shootout! Sitrep Skirmish Game System (Part 1)
It’s an “Eighties Three-Way” … with Bill (Sitrep Six), Oriskany Jim, and Jennifer (Gladesrunner) using the Sitrep Skirmish wargame system to create a fiery shootout in the world of the classic eighties TV show “Miami Vice.”
We’ve got Crockett & Tubbs, Gina & Trudy, Switek & Zito, and of course a dour Lieutenant Castillo, all in a high-speed boat chase and cinematic firefight against a villainous cast of television baddies.
Indeed, it’s time for something a little more light-hearted, just a small dose of escapism from a world gone mad around us. What other TV or movie themes do you think we could explore with the Sitrep Skirmish system?
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Fantastic and original idea for a skirmish game. I really enjoyed the mechanics mixed with the nostalgia. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks very much, @nightrunner . The “Sitrep Skirmish” system (a streamlined and stream-friendly virtual version of Force on Force if I’m honest) was originally developed for the “13 days in 13 hours” project of 2020, when we recreated the Benghazi Incident of 2012 … or at least the Michael Bay movie version. So … Sitrep Skirmish has always been a little cinematic. We’ve used it for Walking Dead, Cthulu-themed Halloween specials, and “Narco” inspired shootouts in Colombia and Mexico. So yeah … Miami Vice seemed a good fit. We hope to have Part 2 up later on this week! 😀
