UP FRONT Squad Leader Card Game v1.7

Description
A card game that is loosely based on Avalon Hill's Squad Leader series. Each player directs a squad of men in various scenarios with cards driving the action.

"UP FRONT is a game of man-to-man infantry combat set in WWII Europe loosely based on the Squad Leader game system. UP FRONT is a far simpler adaptation of Squad Leader principles designed to a card game format. Yet, in many ways is more realistic than its predecessor in that its inherent mechanics simulate the fear and confusion of the battlefield and the inability of leadership to assert itself far better than any tactical game yet published.

There is no playing board; it has been replaced by Terrain cards which become the "hexagons" of the game as players maneuver their forces via Action Cards over constantly changing terrain. The scale of the game is measured in terms of relative ranges between opposing forces, with most combat occurring within a scale distance of 500 meters during the course of player turns measured in varying seconds of actual time."

-All kudos for card redesigns go to David Muñoz de la Peña. I am just the converter to Tabletop Simulator from his amazing work!

Good catch. I never fully learned how to play this game so I relied on cards designed by a player. Perhaps he omitted them on accident.

Thank you very much for putting this together. I do have a question about the personality cards though. It seems like they lack the Panic value that I see in the rules. When looking at original cards, most are either same or +1 of pinned values.

I got the original game and would like to add the British, Japanese, French, and Italians.

If anyone is wanting to play this but doesn't have the rules on hand, they can be found here:

Correct. It is simply a virtual desktop/tabletop. Nothing more. There is no programming at all. You need to know the game.

Again, is this basically a fancy way of playing without having the actual cards in-hand? Do we still need to get out the rulebook and follow all of the rules, or does this do all that for us?

Thanks DryHeave. That was easy! Now I'm just waiting for my son to get things all set up, too.

Another question (and probably a stupid one, but I'm still new to this TTS stuff)...

Does this play the turns for you based on the cards you choose, or is this just a different way of playing the game without having the actual cards in-hand and we still have to know the rules, etc.?

This works as it should for me: Start TTS, Click the CREATE icon, click MULTIPLAYER, type in a server name and server password, set the number of players, click Create Server. If Up Front is the only mod you are subscribed to you should see it on the page that pops up, but you can also click on the WORKSHOP button to show just Steam Workshop games. Click on the Up Front icon, click Load, and there it is. Hope that helps!

I feel like I've pissed away $20 for TTS.

I REALLY wish someone would explain how to load Up Front.
