Hard Burn just launched on itch.io and I wanted to share it with this community.
It's a two-player tactical hex wargame designed from the ground up for 3D printing, with paper alternatives available for some key components. The core of the game is a momentum and energy economy. Ships carry their velocity from turn to turn, and a ship only a limited amount of energy to spend. Movement, weapons, reactions, all of it costs. There is never enough energy to do everything you want to do.
The game is proxy-friendly by design. Ship classes are defined by role and stat profile, not by lore. That means you bring whatever ships you want to the table. The argument about whether UNSC fire cracks an Imperial Star Destroyer before the fighter screen overwhelms you has been happening in comment sections for years. Now there's a board for it.
What's included: full rulebook, scenario book, player aid, ship cards, upgrade cards, SC site cards, printable hex map, and STL files for every 3D-printable component, including ships, bases, tokens, and player boards.
Pay what you want.
Hard Burn gives you the engine. You bring the war.
