📖 About This Game

From the rulebook: "Azhanti High Lightning" is a wargame of close-action combat between individuals on board a large military spaceship. The game covers the weapons and personal abilities which can reasonably be expected aboard a starship; tactics and strategies then become the realm of player input. A variety of scenarios are provided, and many more can be generated using the components included in the game." A "square and counter" supplement to Traveler, similar to Snapshot. Each turn is 15 seconds, each square 1.5 meters, counters represent one individual or animal.
