Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Drones Of War

 I have An Idea

I have an idea for a near future skirmish game.

It would revolve around small forces so lowish figure count depending on the level of each force.

To expand upon that, you would have four levels of forces, from low-tech, mid-tech, high-tech, and advanced-tech.

Depending on the tech levels you will have a large infantry force for low-tech faction, and for advanced tech you have just a handful of professional soldiers with all the latest technology including multiple drone attachments to each individual soldier.

The low-tech faction can include swarm type opposition as in Starship Troopers. But rather than the force opposing them being massed infantry it would be just a handful of soldiers with advanced drones, comms, and off table support etc.

An advanced tech force might look something like this then:

Leader – 1 leader, armed with pistol or SMG, sensor/recon drone x1, comms drone x1, HEL drone x1.

Signaler – 1 signaler, armed with SMG, as per leader.

Grenadier – 1 grenadier armed with assault rifle, grenade launcher drone x1, assault rifle drone x1, HEL drone x1.

Designated Marksman – 1 Marksman armed with SMG, sniper drone x2, HEL drone x1.

Rifle Team – x3 Riflemen armed with assault rifle, assault rifle drone x2 each, HEL drone x1 each.

Gunner – 1 Gunner, armed with SMG, Autocannon drone x2, HEL drone.

EW Specialist Team – EW Specialist x2 armed with SMG, jammer drone x2, recon drone x1, comms drone x1, HEL drone x2.

A low-tech human force might look like a third world/fundamentalist force with limited drones and technology but there will be 3 or 4 times more troops.

A mid-tech force would be a developing nation force.

High-tech would be employing more advanced weapons and drones alongside conventionally sized forces.

The advanced tech forces would deploy small forces and a lot of advanced technology on and off board.

Do you think that sounds like something worth developing? Would it be a fun as well as engaging and tactical game?
