UMS: Modern Age

ADD TO WISHLIST >

UMS: Modern Age is the first adaptation written using the “core” of UMS, a set of rules originally developed in Italian and then translated into English whose ambition is to cover the conflicts of the contemporary era (2015+) and other modern historical periods as well.

The scale is 28 or 20mm and the base unit is the Squad/Team or the single vehicle. The structures and equipment of the units mirror the ones from armies of NATO, Russian (former Warsaw Pact), Middle-East, Africa and irregular/insurgent ones. D12s are used to resolve firefights and all others checks such as moral and activation ones. The minimum table size is the standard 120x180Cm, but larger ones can be used too!

Clashes between superpowers armies, local conflicts between Warlords, symmetrical or asymmetrical operations, raids … all this can be played on using the guidelines offered by the rulebook.

UMS: Modern Age gives the players rules for managing a ground battle with vehicles, aircrafts, helicopters and artillery supports. Players will find included specific army lists with a point system and scenarios, or missions, to be used for a quick game. This does not take away the possibility for players to being able to create custom scenarios inspired by historical events of the last decade.

Hey, sorry to bother but I have a question. When you say squad/team size, is it safe to assume you mean, in other game terms, skirmish scale? More forward could I play this with a friend with like 10-20 minis total between us? It's hard to judge a system by the blurb but it looks like exactly what I've been looking for for a small scale modern game, I just want to make sure before I buy. Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Mattia, I downloaded the new Army List zip file from the My Library page. The problems in that file had not been corrected (i.e., Italian language Ukraine list and no English language Syrian list). The Syrian list had the English language Ukraine list. Thanks.

That's strange... maybe the upload wasn't successful. I've redone it, it should now be called V1.1 and Syrian and Ukrainian are in ENG (100% from my archive!).

Eng. Army list file for Ukraine Army list is in Italian. Eng. Syria Army list file is the Eng. Ukraine Army list file. Eng. Syria Army list apparently doesn't in the Eng. The font is also very small in the lists and army cards. It would help if the font size were somehow increased.

Hi Jason, thanks for noticing! I've fixed the army list problem. About the font, I will format a different set of files with larger one and made available as a standalone while keeping the "smaller" onese

Hello, preview looks interesting. With the deck of cards for activation, can this be adapted for solo play or is there hidden information?

Hi Brent. The deck of activation cards doesn't have any kind of hidden informations, but strategic cards (the ones you keep in your hand) are to be kept secret from your opponent. Adapting for solo play, I think, need to have a good "If then else" flowcart to allow the "AI" to play those cards to steal initiative, reroll activation and calling support. Not impossibile, but complex.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
