About

Signalwick

Features
Read full description

Signalwick is a turn-based tactical contact game. Assemble Riflehand, Scoutveil, or Bastionarm operatives on the Lamp Rail Ops Deck, brief the mission, then fight grid-by-grid across Field Watch, Street Watch, and Hull Crash. Spend Action Points to move, SNAP for quick fire, or AIM for a steadier shot. End your turn and face Skitterlings, Carapace Brutes, and the Void Herald. Spend Filaments in the Armory, manage Medpatches in the Kit Bag, and track unlocked contacts on the Intel Board. Clear the crash site to close the contact — or fall with your squad.
