Squad Hammer Core - Peoples Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $9.99

Welcome to Squad Hammer!

Squad Hammer is a simple, fast playing and tactical set of "Friendly rules": Perfect for getting some old miniatures off that shelf and on to the gaming table.

Game play is simple to explain without lacking options and is perfectly suited to Beer&Pretzels night or a club game.

Units are typically squads of infantry, single vehicles or big monsters. 

All mechanics use plain six sided dice, with morale and damage combined into a single tracking mechanism.  

* * * * *

Squad Hammer is the core system used in other of our titles, including Trench Hammer and our premium WW2 rules Hammer of Democracy.

While each title is subtly different, you will be able to transition between them with ease. 

Core is a polished up and stream lined version of the original Squad Hammer rules set, focusing on giving you the key tools you need to play. If you want more mechanics and ideas, you can always expand later.

* * * * *

Note that this version is PAY WHAT YOU WANT. You can grab it for any amount you feel is fair. We've put 9.99 as a suggested price to support continued development, but go ahead and read through the game first, then come back and throw some money at us once you've seen what the rules can do.

What is the Peoples Edition?

Simply put, this version includes a license allowing you to base your own game material on the Squad Hammer Core mechanics. Create army lists, expansion content or even your own games using our rules as a base and distribute them for free or commercially.

You are also welcome to share this game with your friends (though we encourage you to have them download it from here, so they get notified of future updates).

Update on September 5 2021

The download now includes the original Squad Hammer rulebook as well.

The description mentions a license to publish own works, but the only thing I found was the "Distribution and permissions" note on page three allowing non-commercial as-is distribution. The changelog implies that the license was split from the rules at some point, but is not amongst the current files?

What happened?

Im a dummy and always forget to update the version number in the book. I'll fix it momentarily. The file is correct otherwise.

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.
