StarCraft Tabletop Miniatures Game Wave 1 Rulebook ACHSCMG0031
The StarCraft Tabletop Miniatures Game Wave 1 Rulebook (ACHSCMG0031) provides the core rules for Archon Studio's skirmish wargame, enabling tactical battles with Terran, Zerg, and Protoss miniatures on 32mm scale. Released as part of the March 2026 launch, it emphasizes fast-paced RTS-inspired gameplay without traditional tabling mechanics.
Features
- Three-Phase Structure: Alternating turns in Movement, Assault (shooting), and Close Combat phases, with APM tokens for initiative control via passing.
- Dynamic Supply System: Start with reserves; deploy units as supply increases each round or frees up from losses, supporting reinforcements.
- Rock-Paper-Scissors Counters: Units like marauders excel vs. armored foes but falter against light infantry; aerial units dodge melee but skip objectives.​
- One-Roll Combat: Single dice rolls for attacks (rate, hit, damage) plus surge dice to cancel armor saves, balancing horde and elite play.​
- Terrain Integration: Sized terrain (1-3 or infinite) affects line-of-sight and hiding, with faction tactics like Terran dropships for flexible deployment.
