METAL FLICK: Tactical Operations

"One finger on the tread, one die in the chamber. In the oil-stained dirt of the front lines, only the flick survives." LORE The year is 19XX. The Great Iron War has ground the world into a landscape of scrap and soot. You are a commander of the Prototype Modular Tank Program , a desperate attempt to break the stalemate with highly adaptable, micro-armored units. Dropped behind enemy lines with nothing but your chassis and a dream of high-velocity impact, you must outmaneuver the mechanical legions of the "Steel Platoon." Every flick of your Core is a strike for freedom; every dent in your hull is a reminder of the cost of war. GAME DETAILS Number of Players: 1 (Solo Play) Genre: Dexterity / Tabletop Skirmish / Print-and-Play (PnP) Play Time: 10–15 Minutes Main Mechanics: Physical Flicking, Modular Unit Customization, Line-of-Sight AI. CORE MECHANICS The Modular Build: Before each mission, swap between different Chassis and Turret cards to create a tank that fits your playstyle—whether it's a fast-moving scout or a heavy-hitting sniper. The Core Flick: No math, no complex tables—your dice are your weapons. Physically flick your Core Die across the table to strike enemy cards. Dynamic Hazards: Use the environment to your advantage. Bounce shots off Concrete Walls for ricochet bonuses or hide behind fuel barrels to lure enemies into a blast zone. Reactive AI: The enemies don't just sit there. They move, retreat, and fire back based on your proximity and their unique behavioral profiles. REQUIREMENTS To deploy for battle, you will need: The Print-out: One 9-card sheet + 1 Hazard sheet. The Dice: 4 Standard six-sided dice (4×D6). One for your tank, and one for each of the three enemies. The Battlefield: Any flat surface (table, desk, or floor) at least 2×2 feet. A Steady Hand: For the perfect shot.
