TAG Deathmatch! Try it Yourself with Free Rules
June 28, 2015 by lloyd
If you enjoyed the TAG Deathmatch game we played at the Infinity Boot Camp then give it a go with this free rules pdf.
Grab the rules (click here), grab your mates and let the mayhem commence. This was defiantly a highlight of the weekend here at Beasts of War.
If you missed the Boot Camp action catch-up today:
Friday / Saturday / Sunday
This looks absolutely ripping!
awesome! just what i was looking for! thanks bow
great stuff, already got plans to alter thees rules for basic infantry
Just home from the bootcamp and I give this insanity my stamp of approval *stamps*
Great fun, you just need someone with a good pair of lungs to control the frenzied gamers if you’re planning on playing this at a club with lots of TAGs
Played this myself at the bootcamp, I was on two kills when victory was achieved trough the liberal application of firey death by the winner. This game does require a game master/referee/cat herder when played with large numbers which Carlos achieved beautifully.
I haven’t laughed so hard in a game in years.
Looks fantastic
very cool. looking forward to trying out the rules
How does the ARO work?
If model A shoots to model B everyone else that can see model A can declare an ARO against him?
Yup, everyone with LOS can declare an ARO. In theory it could get quite crazy, in practise you only end up with 2 or 3 at max, especially with a decent terrain setup.
After 2 games of TADM I can only say it is a great fun little game
perfect for beer and pretzel gaming – 19 players might be overdoing it, 8 did work better
Looks like fun
Awesome, thanks for these 🙂
Can I please have the link to the Native Spanish version please!
Thanks for posting these up guys. Now I just have to try to make a tower like Warren’s… 😉
Looks great.
Terrain rearangements are needed tho. Lack of accesible high ground could be helpful in my opinion. That would limit ARO of this 1 TAG with good weapon who just AROs all over the place.
the way it was played was that the ground levels completely blocked LOS to other TAGs on the same level, regardless of TAG size, so it was more like a fight in narrow corridors or tunnels. Then there were only a small amount of places that were stepped to allow the TAGs to move up to higher levels.
dont have tags yet, but can never hurt to get some rules 🙂
the rules would be a lot of fun just for infantry models as well, especially telefragging
I so wanted to telefrag!
the way everyone kept spawning on 7 I was tempted to step into a portal myself because chances are you would’ve just appeared on top of John, Marcos, Lewis, or anything of the other seemingly endless amount of TAGs that kept appearing in there
I wonder if TAGDM is going to end up as part of the fluff…
It sounds like everyone loved it, reminds me of that Heavy Gear cartoon from years ago, or Solaris7 in Battletech, or Robot Jox…
No, not Robot Jox. Definitely not that.
Just as long as the Nomads are running the show. It had to be a crazy from Bakunin that came up with the idea!
The bootcamp weekend was my first experience of Infinity so I know nothing about the fluff yet, but Carlos was saying that these things were part of the fluff, roving bands of Nomads setting up these illegal Death matches broadcasting and then moving on. I took it to mean that it was there already, maybe it’s about to introduced instead.
Thanks guys! My gaming group and I will definitely give it a go!
Very nice. Thank you
Where do you place the spawning points and booty markers?
Wish I had been able to go to that Bootcamp. Maybe another?????? Hmm BoW perhaps????? Please
