Reichbusters: Projekt Vril

A cooperative World War II skirmish in which Allied specialists infiltrate secret Nazi research bunkers to stop experiments with a mysterious energy called vril. Players choose heroes, kit out at R&D, then sneaks through modular missions using stealth, hidden actions and noise management until alarms trigger open combat. Turns allow movement, attacks, item use and interaction, with hero-specific card decks granting extra actions and tactical modifiers and a limited pool of “Heroics” to auto-succeed critical tests. Encounters escalate from reanimated corpses to mutated abominations and vril-powered commanders; objectives and secondary goals vary by scenario. Games can be linked into a campaign where captured heroes are lost, or played as standalone raids with randomized maps and foes.
