For those of you who haven’t gotten into Mike Denson’s small-unit tactical game The Last Hundred Yards, there’s never been a better time to jump in. Not only is Volume I back in stock and shipping now, but Mike and his team just put together a stellar Basic Training guide that takes you through all the details of the system, and gets you playing quickly.
Whether you are new to tactical games or familiar with other tactical game systems, The Last Hundred Yards introduces innovative concepts like the Action-Reaction cycle and the Passage of Time, which the Basic Training guide explains step-by-step. Each mission introduces a few rules, which gets you playing the game and learning quickly. This programmed-instruction approach is accessible and incorporates feedback from players and the developers’ experience with the system to teach these concepts in the clearest possible way.
In addition to the guide, players who own Volume II or III will need to download a set of maps that are needed to play the included scenarios for players who own Volume II or Volume III; there are instructions in the guide to adapt the Volume III counters to the scenarios. We hope the Basic Training guide will get you playing The Last Hundred Yards quickly; there is so much to explore in the series, and much more to come.
