Hardwar: Kickstarter läuft

Mechfreunde könnten mit dem neuen Kickstarter von Modiphius Spaß haben.

A fast-paced, sci-fi, 6mm mech wargame, with solo, co-op, and versus modes, 9 resin miniature sets and new terrain by Modiphius.

It’s 2100… The time of wars with soft assets is over, making way for Hardware-Warfare.

Hardwar is a fast-paced tactical wargame set in a realistic sci-fi universe at the turn of the 22nd century. Using an innovative dice resolution system and 6mm-scale miniatures, Hardwar creates brutal combat between mech, vehicle, and air elements, mixing classic armoured warfare with futuristic experimental weapons, cybernetics, electronic warfare, and sentient combat swarms for strategic flexibility.

Players take on the role of corporations, paramilitary contractors, or even revolutionary leaders fighting dynamic battles for financial and political supremacy. Starting with a company of 6-10 models each, players use cunning tactics and awesome firepower to destroy their opponents’ forces and complete objectives in a series of gripping, interconnected scenarios.

Models, known as Elements, get two action tokens and commanders take it in turn to activate one element and can choose from a number of actions.

To make an attack, the attacker rolls a number of D12s equal to the Element’s Attack rating, and the defender rolls a pool of D12s based on their Defense rating. The attacker’s target number is the range in inches to the defending Element, plus the defender’s Armour rating and any Cover. Rolls of 12 explode, letting each side roll an extra dice for each 12. Any defender’s dice that match the attacker’s dice cancel the dice out. Each group of remaining attacker dice that can be assembled that equal or exceed the target number generate 1 hit, and if the group includes a double, it’s a Critical Hit.

The defender marks the damage on one of the Element’s abilities as well as the main damage track. If there are any Critical Hits, the attacker can choose which ability takes the hits. There are different results for reducing each of the ability tracks ranging from immobility, disabling an element, or even destroying it. If the damage exceeds the remaining number on the main damage track, the element is eliminated.

In addition to the core rules, we’ve also added new content offering a wider range of options for squadrons, heroes, and their flaws, with the inclusion of the Extended Hardware and No Heroes content previously only available in PDF.

Solo Rules

If you know us at Modiphius, you know we champion solo gameplay on the tabletop. As such, the revised core rulebook includes a robust, new solo PvE mode where you’ll face off against opponents directed by an ‘AI’ procedural action system. These new rules allow enemies to act independently, reacting to the constantly shifting situation on the battlefields of the 22nd century with deadly efficiency. The perfect training ground for your future PvP battles.

This quickplay streamlines the rules of the upcoming core book and allows you to try the core mechanics and gameplay before backing our campaign – try it now!

Die Miniaturen:

Our 3D modelling and manufacturing teams have remastered every Hardwar miniature to bring it up to the standard you expect from us. With higher resolution and crisper fidelity, the level of detail of our remastered 6mm scale miniatures ensures the entire range is truer to the original vision for the game. Take the aircraft models, for example: we’ve updated them with sturdier flight stands and more robust connecting points, so you are no longer fighting with brass rods just to get them airborne!

As tariffs are an ongoing concern, we wanted to inform you that we don’t expect it to have a major impact on this Kickstarter. All the miniatures are being produced here in the UK and the rulebook will be printed in EU (there’s no tariffs on EU books). The dice and cards will be produced in China and we have taken the current tariffs into account in their pricing.
