TechCommander
TechCommander is a fast paced sci-fi action tactical game that puts you in the command chair of a hi tech operations center leading an elite squad on dangerous missions! TechCommander combines miniature gaming with the sci-fi action seen in first person shooters and sci-fi real time strategy video games. The game has powerful Mechanized Strike Vehicle units (called MSV’s for short) that can destroy targets in seconds, but also has the ultimate in elite power armor infantry units. These units are based on a possible progression of future soldier programs in development in the modern day, and are equipped with technology to keep them agile, powerful and somewhat safe from the monster MSV’s roaming the landscape. The infantry are jump jet equipped, and in many cases, running a visibility and sensor masking stealth suit. Many also have capacitance based shield meaning if you do not fully eliminate them, they will recharge! The MSV may be powerful, but left unguarded, it is no match for a crack squad of USSC Force Recon Marines!
TechCommander MSVs are fairly large miniatures, standing anywhere from four inches to a foot high. They use a peg-together system so that swapping out weapons and gear for a battle that requires a custom load out is easy!
The standard scale for TechCommander is 28MM although the rules allow for easy conversion to other scales. SDGS Plans to release select units in a smaller scale (6 to 10MM) at a later date
This is a small home game of TechCommander taken during late playtesting. The players are running a really fast game type called Deathmatching. The score is tracked with poker chips, and you respawn once you die.
When you spawn into deathmatching you get to select your ride and or loadout from a sidebar. This one is from Pentacon 2009. Several weapons have changed a bit since this point in testing.
At conventions we track everything on a giant leaderboard.
