Rogue Hammer v 1.08 is now live on Wargame Vault. Patrons at 10+ dollars have also received a copy.
This clarifies how anti vehicle assaults work and updates all the unit profiles to have a distinct anti tank value when assaulting. The game should be a lot clearer to understand now.
2023-10-16 18:48:29 +0000 UTC View PostTwo updates available (both should be uploading now and be available in your Wargame Vault library)
Shoot People in Space is updated to 1.02 which fixes the broken special ability for Swift characters.
Squad Hammer Core is updated to 1.09 which simplifies monster damage vs buildings and raises the base HP total for units to 8.&nbs...
Shoot people has been updated to version 1.01.
Changes:
Involuntary moves and groups has been clarified.
The buggy equipment table graphic should be fixed.
It should be clearer now that the credit cost for squaddies is for 3.
Okay, a bunch of tweaks and changes including updating the Patreon page to more properly reflect current things.
*New things and what the Patreon will provide going forward:
We've been settled on two new playable items monthly (1 parsecs, 1 leagues) for a while. This will continue. They can be scenarios, characters, updates of old ...
Just wanted to let you know that the setting blog was updated with the article on time keeping (in all its complicated Unity glory) and another post will go up tonight or tomorrow. You can find that here
https://unifiedspace.posthaven.com/unity-time-reco...
Version 1.04 of the FAQ adding a few more clarifications to common questions.
Please enjoy. For the new folks, the FAQ also includes the balancing tweaks. These are OPTIONAL but Id like people to test them out.
A small update to Weaseltech has been posted as well. This just clarifies the hit modifiers for movement orders a bit, so there's no need to print anything except that one page. You can upload the new file from your Wargame Vault library as usual.
2022-05-31 01:43:35 +0000 UTC View PostIf you pre-ordered the book, you should see that your PDF was updated today. This includes a number of small fixes (typos etc.) as well as a number of clarifications. I have tallied the major ones to the PDF attached to this post, but there will also be a blogpost Thursday.

The setting / "lore" inclined can enjoy a brief overview of computer tech in the Unified Space setting.
Sorry its been a bit of a delay this month. After a lifetime of not having them, Ive finally gotten a bad case of allergies and its been kicking my ass this spring as the weather has finally turned warmer up here.
I do have some cool stuff for you guys that I am working on,
2022-04-24 22:03:26 +0000 UTC View PostIn a few minutes, the newest update to Weasel Tech is available to download. This adds a new page with fluff text and updates some terminology throughout the book. There is no need to print your book again, but I think you'll get a kick out of the update.
2022-03-15 18:28:14 +0000 UTC View PostChanged the front page picture to the Patreon. It should look a little keener now :)
2022-02-02 02:20:24 +0000 UTC View PostI am trying to examine ways to continue expanding and diversifying just what it is Nordic Weasel Games does and drawing in some additional manpower.
One of the things several people have said they would like to see more of is game design theory, thoughts, behind the scenes information etc.
Assuming the Patreon stays fairly stable...
With January coming to a close, we saw the following for Patrons:
Another look at the 5 Parsecs setting guide as it is being developed.
Rules update for Bug Hunt.
An old game from the vault (Assault Marine).
New deployment rules for Five Leagues.
Two Weasel Tech updates.
Chrome Hammer update.
The Five Pa...
2022-01-31 17:54:13 +0000 UTC View PostPlease don't upload anything I make to Scribd under any circumstances.
I realize piracy happens and it is whatever. I dont prowl the internet trying to take that stuff down because in the end, my time is better spent elsewhere and I suspect the people pirating don't actually play the game.
But Scribd actively monetizes their service,...
2021-12-17 16:58:36 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, Five Men in Normandy has been updated to version 1.03. Change log at the back of the book as always. Mostly some small tweaks to just tidy up game play but combat should also be more exciting and dramatic now and cover should be easier to understand.
Second, if you didn't notice yet, the Weasel Mech rules are here: Weasel-Tech is i...
Kid has a pretty raspy cough. School said to keep him home until 10 days or we've had a covid test. Gonna go tomorrow, but potentially that's a bit of time being stuck at home so wish me luck!
We should be all fine, we've got our shots and we have ample supplies at home for a few days, plus we can have stuff delivered, but I'd rather not ...
This isn't mine, but friend of the show "Cement Saul" did an excellent video going over Squad Hammer Core and what it does well.

Give it a watch and give the man some subs and likes, there's not enough quality wargaming content on you...
Version 1.05 is going live now. This adds a few clarifications (Area weapons, replacing losses, mustering out) and adds notes for enlisting in Bug Hunt from 5 Parsecs From Home. Enjoy.

2021-11-22 21:10:19 +0000 UTC View PostMore enemy variety, spawn points and more things to investigate in the battle area. Stay tuned :)
2021-11-22 01:28:44 +0000 UTC View Post1.07 of Squad Hammer is live. It clarifies orders and movement a little bit, as well as a few cosmetic changes.
2021-11-16 00:38:24 +0000 UTC View PostNot dead or anything, but trying to do three things at once so running a bit late on doing patreon stuff this month. I'll be trying something a bit different this month though and I think you'll all like it.
Well, I hope :)
Not everything is solo gaming of course :)
A small update to Renegade Scout is live on Wargame Vault. This tweaks the Mounted weapon trait so it includes Slow (which shortens some weapon profiles). I also redid the table of contents using software so it should behave nicer when you click on it in the PDF and make the game easier to naviga...
I have updated the Patreon page a little bit. As the long-timers know, the Patreon has always shifted a bit over time in terms of what is being offered and what it supports. That is the nature of it, especially as new people come in, others drift away etc.
The goal for the foreseeable future remains: Provide new material for 5P and 5L prim...
2021-10-01 21:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostChrome Hammer Ascension gets updated to kick off October with a new of tweaks and new features. Version 1.03 is available from Wargame Vault in your library.
If you have not dived into the cyberpunk fantasy future of Chrome Hammer, you can do so at 2021-10-01 14:48:52 +0000 UTC View Post
Not everything is Five Parsecs of course, so how about an update to Squad Hammer Core? 1.06 brings group orders, more detail on how units and orders can interact and a more detailed assault sequence with more tactical options (and hopefully better explained as well).
As always, Squad Hammer remains Pay What You Want and is available at...
This is just a freebie and isn't Patreon specific.
The attached PDF has a selection of house rules for 5P that you might want to try out. I /am/ looking for feedback on them but none (except maybe the blast weapon rule) are being considered for inclusion at the moment. They are more something to have fun with and help tinker with your game.&...
If you already own Squad Hammer Core but did not own the original SH, it is now included as part of the SHC download. Just go to the Library section of Wargame Vault and you should find it there. This marks the official point of Core superseding the original game I suppose. (though this has realistically been the case for a while)
2021-09-06 00:40:53 +0000 UTC View PostThank you so much for your support. I realized I don't say that enough and it really does mean the world. Whether its financially on here, people who email me that they played a game and had a great time or who show me pictures of things they are painting up, it means a lot. Growing up gazing at White Dwarf and other magazines, it still feels su...
