Tactical Espionage Wargaming
Black Ops is a skirmish wargame of tactical espionage combat that recreates the tension and excitement of modern action-thrillers such as the Bond and Bourne films. The fast-play rules keep all the players in the thick of the action while the mission generator provides a wide range of options for scenarios – from stealthy extraction or surveillance missions to more overt raids and assaults. Stealth combat and technical expertise all have a role to play and players may recruit a number of different operative types – spies mercenaries criminals hackers special forces and many more – to recruit the best possible team for the job.
Players may also choose to join a faction – powerful organizations intelligence agencies criminal syndicates militaries or rebel groups each with a stake in international affairs. By doing so their team may receive certain benefits but may also find itself limited at a crucial time. With the variety offered by the characters factions and scenarios no two games of Black Ops should ever be the same!
