Starcraft brood war board game scenarios

Backed into a corner after the fall of Korhal IV, Arcturus Mengsk pulls out all the stops to halt the combined effort of Jim Raynor & Sarah Kerrigan. Activating his secret WMD facility of Erebus Station, Mengsk now seeks to quell the coup by plummeting the sector in nuclear fire.

3-player scenario with the following factions:

- Arcturus Mengsk;
- Jim Raynor;
- Queen of Blades.

This scenario is also available in Tabletop Simulator as a workshop item: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=16552...

Notes: Another scenario I had written about 3-4 years ago. Was never able to test it but perhaps other people can enjoy it for what it's worth.

The Overmind runs rampant throughout the sector. Fearful of the Swarm's power, various factions vie to tame the beast. Tassadar seeks to neutralize the hivemind to safeguard his people, but the UED & Queen of Blades have far more sinister motives. Both are eager to take its power for their own, granting them unquestionable dominance...

3-player scenario with the following factions:

- Queen of Blades;
- Tassadar;
- United Earth Directorate (represented by the Jim Raynor faction)

A 2-player varient is possible, consult page 5 for more details.

Changes:
* Retreat card does not allow Attacker to retreat.
* Workers on depleted resource are moved to Unavailable.

Minor update, NOT necessary to reprint from previous version:
- Added removal of workers from depleted resource cards to sequence of play.
- Added simple game setup sequence, the event card counts are already on the play aid.
- Removed all "interesting" house rules except the 5CP/SVC variant.

Suggested printing:
- pages 1-2: double sided 1 copy for each player.
- pages 3-4: double sided 1 copy for the table.
- pages 5-6: legend (new!) and notes, need not be printed.

Major Bug Fixes (I went through every card again):
- Zergling values are now correct. Sorry!
- Missing Scout card is now included. Sorry!
- Arbiter cost was incorrect.

Improvements:
- Unit costs are now aligned with tech costs.
- Increased font sizes and color changes for clarity.
- Reinforcement cards are in orange for visibility.
- Reinforcement cards are marked F if they require FLU.
- Cloaking, Detection, and Sacrifice are now red.
- Tech-required names and requirements are now purple.
- Health + for boosts that don't apply with Guard token.
- General cleanup.

Removed: card-sharing information between unit types. I think this was cluttered and of low value. It is best to learn these overlaps through play.

What's New:
1-page reference with units, tech, and images.
1-page reference for orders, modules, leadership cards, event cards, and the basic play sequence.
1-page comprehensive turn sequence.
1-page comprehensive battle sequence.
1-page notes and credits (not necessary for play)

Clarified language for reveal and resolve, sacrifice/cloaking, and regroup phase. Added racial abilities. Added StarCraft font for coolness factor.

Cleaned up Play Sequence and Battle and Skirmish. Should be very complete. I needed an aid that pulled together all the errata and disparate rulings. New! Combat and Technology breakdowns for each race! Now you can see how two units interact with respect to combat cards. On the reverse is a player aid oriented to the new player. If you find errors or omissions, please let me know. Thanks, and enjoy this great game!

So many great play aids already, but I wanted one that is black-and-white friendly and sequence-of-play oriented. Version 1.0.

The Version 2 Faction Summaries, but cropped so as to be more friendly to printers that cannot handle printing with no margins. These print with one-inch margins at the correct size. If you can print without margins, download file below this one instead!

Version 2 fixes some typos and grammatical errors, clarifies some language, changes the font to be more legible, and shrinks the overall references to a more convenient size. There are now two per sheet; make sure to print double sided if you can, and cut them apart after printing!

Intended to be printed double-sided, one side of each sheet is a brief introduction to each race and faction leader, with a bit of flavor text and a little strategy tip for each unit, as well. On the other side of each sheet is a breakdown of the min/max values for each unit of that faction, what techs are relevant for each, and a really brief summary of each tech.

I know this game is ancient and out of print at this point, but hopefully someone will find these useful!

Thanks to some other guides I gathered inspiration from, particularly msmilo's tech tree and StefanSasse's strategy guide. And thanks of course to FFG, Blizzard, and the StarCraft: Remastered team!

Religious tensions flare and the Protoss can no longer ignore their differences. With both sides convinced of the other's heretical nature, civil war grips the species. As brother fights brother across the stars, Arcturus Mengsk seeks to turn the conflict to his advantage. The time is ripe to unlock the ancient knowledge the Protoss so dearly covet for his own gain.

3-player scenario with the following factions:

- Aldaris;
- Arcturus Mengsk;
- Tassadar.

A 2-player varient is available at the end of this PDF.

This scenario is also available in Tabletop Simulator as a workshop item: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=674453086

Have written a bunch of scenarios over the years but I can never find people willing to invest the time into playing this game anymore. Hopefully you will have better luck & have fun with these scenarios.

This is the newest and third verison of my Starcraft Broodwar Reference sheet with a turn summary and a designed overview about all combat related techs, unit stats and abilities.

Steven vG was so kind to do the work and look into it to correct spelling mistakes and streamline some sentences to make sure it is as clear as possible. There should be no mistake left in this third version, feel free to download and use it to your liking.

This is the second version of the Brood War Reference Sheet.

Corrected some minor and one major mistake (uups Infested Terran had Cloaking instead of Sacrifice on my first version). Furthermore I added one new feature.

But have a look by yourself, if you liked the first one this one is a must have.

In this pdf file you'll found the Unit stats as listed in the Brood War Rule Book. I corrected the values, because there were about 5-6 mistakes in it. In addition I added all combat related informations:

1. The maximum combat stats of technology Combat Cards if there are such Cards for the unit (like "Siege Mode" for Tanks or "Increased Reaver capacity" for Reavers / tech related Combat stats have a "blue background")

2. Splash Damage (on a "blue background" if it is granted by technology required Combat Cards, on a "green background" if it is granted by the starting Combat Cards / "small" if it is only aggainst Marines and alike, "all" if it is against any targetable unit)

3. Collateral Damage (always on a "blue background" because you always have to research it)

4. Support values

5. Air and ground attack abilities

6. Special abilities and Technologies like Cloaking, Mind Control, Plague (on a "blue background" if you have to research it, on a "green background" if it is a starting ability)

7. Reinforcement cards that are for all units (at the bottom of the list marked with "any" / on a "green background" if they are in the starting Combat Deck, on a "blue background" if you have to reserach them)

Last but not least I did a back page for double sided print. There are all modules and orders listed. In addition the turn sequence and the battle sequence.

Have fun with it

Configurations for Starcraft + Brood War expansion covering: planets, event deck & leadership card setup. Goal: reduce downtime & setup so the game is easier to learn & enjoy for casual players.

Since I'm the only fervent strategic boardgamer in my group of friends, I've compiled a list of parameters to trim down Starcraft: the board game to a more managable size. Leadership cards, certain event cards, galaxy setup, overal gametime,... plenty of features that I adore but had to adjust so it wouldn't scare off newcomers or occasional players. After a few tests with these guidelines, I was able to land smoother & shorter experiences. This allowed me to let Starcraft hit the table more often without scaring off more easygoing players.

If you spot any typos or have suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.
