I would hope so as well Kai'lore.

You would think, being the veteran he is, that he'd already know the answer.

Which is, of course, absolutely yes! :P

Maybe it's a way of trading or selling? :smile: Most other forums have that sort of thing!

Now what is that an example of? A game, images for explaining Pathfinder tactics, or counters to represent something on the table? No? No.

Why was Tael the only staff member visably present when I noticed this appear?

Perhaps a new tabletop game? Either way, Mr. Support Drone continues to elude me on the issue.

Hmmm, can I take a guess at one of two things I think this might be?

Option a) A hex based mini-game someone is crafting? (Which is/would be pretty darn cool)

Option b) A mechanic for O2 and Doom's RPG? (Which is also pretty cool too only I don't have the available time to go doing any more RPG's)

Them be my un-edumacated guesses at this stage with all the data at hand.

Reminds me of an Axis & Allies rules example illustration.

Um, might get in trouble for this, but have nothing else to say, other than interesting, and where are the Fio - this drone seems to be working at a sub-standard pace in its content uploads. :P ;)

Oh....I think it's far too late for Tael to clear himself of suspicion. There's the clean and crisp graphic style, for one, which throws suspicion on him. The second is that this image appears to be hosted in a folder with a remarkably familiar sounding name....

This isn't random at all. Seems that Tael is being framed or is that what he wants us to think. :-?

PATHFINDER - An Advanced Tau Tactical Game

THE GAME
Pathfinder is a game for two players. One player represents the Pathfinder team; the other represents the Lurker infested jungle

This Game Requires:
4 Tau Pathfinders (3 Shas'la, 1 Shas'ui)
1 Tau Gun Drone
30 Jungle Tiles (28 Jungle Tiles, 1 Clearing tile, 1 Escape Pod tile)
18 Lurker counters
3 Dice (1 alternate/2 of same color)

Organize the tiles and counters into separate stacks. Within the following rules, the term "Pathfinder[s]" refers to all Pathfinder models (Shas'la, Shas'ui, and the Gun Drone)

SETTING UP
To start the game, decide who will take the Pathfinder team and who will take the lurkers. If you can't decide, roll a dice to decide - the higher scoring player takes the Pathfinders.

The lurker player takes the tile stack and removes the Clearing tile and the Escape Pod tile. The remaining tiles are shuffled and placed face down on the table. Place the Escape Pod tile at the very bottom of the Jungle tile stack.

All the lurker counters are gathered together then placed in a pile or a suitable container. This is the "Lurker Pile." The Lurker player places all the jungle paths the Pathfinders can see from the Clearing as described opposite. Once the paths are placed, the first turn begins.

THE TURN
Play proceeds turn by turn until at least one Pathfinder locates the Aun in the Escape Pod or until they are all killed. Each turn is resolved in the following sequence:

1] The Pathfinders take 'actions'
2] The Lurker removes old jungle tiles that can't be seen.
3] The Lurker places new jungle tiles that can be seen.
4] The Lurker takes 'actions'
5] The Lurker springs ambushes.
6] Both players remove over-attacked scouts and lurkers

PLACING TILES
The jungle itself is an intelligent, malignant entity constructed by the Lurker player who always places and removes Jungle tiles when required. Although the Lurker player has some choice about exactly how he places new tiles, he must conform to the following rules as he does so.

Each jungle tile has a path marked on it. Some paths lead straight across the tile from one edge to the opposite edge - these are called straight paths. Other paths curve away, divide, or cease abruptly in a dead end.

A Pathfinder team member on a tile is assumed to be able to see along the paths that lead from that tile to the adjoining tile or tiles. Don't worry about which direction the model is facing. Pathfinders are highly skilled combat infiltrators, accustomed to watching their backs when they scout ahead of Tau forces. They are capable of countering threats from any direction.

In addition, if an adjoining tile is a straight path then the Pathfinder can see right along it into the next tile. If that tile is itself a straight path, he can see into the next tile and so on.

PLACING TILES TO BEGIN THE GAME
[Image missing]

The tiles have been placed around the clearing. The Pathfinders can see down the straight paths in jungle tiles (as indicated).

Some of this might be wrong, and there were a few parts were the actual words printed didn't make much sense they way they were written, so that was changed slightly. I think that I got most of it right. Now I'm off to rest my eyes for a few hours...

Nice, a tile-based, pathfinder team inspired game. Now I'm really interested. If only I knew who registered their copy of Photoshop as Ducky I could figure out the mastermind behind this project. :crafty:

Good job on the translation Spartan, my eyes bugged out after about 5 minutes. But then I have been airbrushing for 5 hours...
