Chrome Hammer is a set of simple cyberpunk skirmish rules by the phenomenal Jason Smith, letting you get to grips with gun battles in a high tech future. Whether you take the role of the punks trying to reclaim the streets or the mega-corps fighting for optimized profit portfolios, there's gun play, sneaking about and homicidal security bots to be wary of.

Based on the Squad Hammer game system, players coming from Squad Hammer or any of its historical derivatives like Trench Hammer or Hammer of Democracy should have no trouble adjusting. 

To new players, this is a simple game system featuring straight-forward combat with a lot more depth than you might suspect at first glance. Players can pick up the core mechanics in a matter of minutes.

The rules are lavishly illustrated and feature 8 detailed and varied scenarios from Virus Upload to Gridlock as well as a way to link a chain of scenarios together to play a quick campaign. 

Mechanics are included for stealth jobs as well as customizing your tough street rats or corporate merc squad. 

The future is here. Are you wired? 

* * * * *

Chrome Hammer is a stand alone game. While Squad Hammer is useful for options and ideas, it is not needed to play.

Any scale of miniatures can be used, provided they are based individually.

A typical game features about 5 figures for the punks, while the corporates typically have 10-25 figures. If you have existing scifi armies, you almost certainly have suitable models in your collection ready to play.

Can you use the rules for gang on gang scenarios?

If you set up your own scenarios, you can fight punks vs punks.

One of the included scenarios is like that as well. You could probably swap the identity in some of the other scenarios, but the emphasis is definitely more on corp vs punk fights.

Thanks for doing this as it has helped me decide to pick up during the sale. Are there any other books to add to enhance/expand Chrome Hammer?

Jason is hard at work at a massive expansion that will include all manner of stuff, like super natural enemies, magic and more robust solo options.

Thanks for the info. One last question, is it co-op/solo or is it meant for 2 players?

Sorry for the delay. There is a basic AI module included though it was written as a 2 player game primarily.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
