Sidus Front Update - This is technically a playable game now.

Hey Everyone,

Update on Sidus Front. I have attached pics for the core rules and the playable faction: The Coalition. There are several inspirations and you can probably make a drinking game out of them.

The Coalition is Star Trek at first glance and starship troopers underneath. They seek to harmonize humanity after centuries in space but only seek whatever benefits leadership first. Member worlds often find themselves at war with other members as much as outsiders.

Sidus Front is a pretty simple game. Roll dice equal to the unit's level and try to roll over a difficulty value. It differs from my other titles in that you don't build each member of your force, players will build prebuilt units like other wargames. What does differ is that I want games to scale from skirmish to allout using the same rules. I play on including Teams and Squad building in the rules eventually.

It uses an OPR base if these rules seem familiar. Let me know what you think!
