Black Site Studio Battle On The Moon With New Game, Lunar

July 8, 2021 by brennon

Black Site Studio has been working away on a new skirmish game. This new 32mm Sci-Fi game, Lunar, is set on the moon! Take on the role of the USA, USSR, Republic of China and more as you fight to defend your installations and discoveries.

Lunar Core Game // Black Site Studio

Each commander will take control of a unit of astronauts on the moon. Thousands of miles from Earth, you have to protect the vital assets that you have worked hard to build. I can't help but feel like this is actually going to be the actual next step for us.

A d6 system rules the way you play the game and beyond that, they've also included mass. It is the moon after all! Their idea is that they wanted to build a game of brutal low gravity combat with a focus on melee engagements but also deadly firearms too.

The game plays out on a 2 x 2 playspace and only requires around three or five miniatures for you to play. Inside the Core Box which you can see pictured above you get...

70x Page rulebook with 7 core missions and campaign rules
Colour token sheet (double-sided print)
15x USSR & 15 USA unit cards
36x Core weapon and item cards
5x Multipart USA Astronauts
5x Multipart USSR Astronauts
Multiples of 25 unique weapon and item parts
4x D6 dice
2x Custom Lunar Hazard dice

The game has also been designed to be a campaign so you can expand beyond the basic core missions in the set and upgrade your crew of astronauts. Plus, we also have a whole bunch of additional expansions to look forward to. The Republic Of China is on the way plus Lunar vehicles, Lunar Icon Miniatures (and cards) and a Freelancer Expansion.

Watch out for Lunar's release at the end of July!

Give this a look if you're interested in exploring a bit of a "what if?" scenario!
