Overview
New Horizons is the advanced version of the original Colonial Space Wars, a strategic 2-D wargame based on a sci-fi universe. During the game, 1 inch square pieces move across a rectangular board divided into squares arranged in rows and columns. Each player has a number of units in his army, which is set depending on the faction they are playing. We call this combination of units a “Combat Sword". Four factions are available for players: Union of Terra, Centauri Brotherhood, Heimdall Industries and Ascaryan Infestation. Game pieces represent the units of troops and vehicles in each army. Pieces have two sides, "Front" (Illustration and Health marker) and "Back" (Name, Attributes and Skills). Some units grant X "Command Points" at the beginning of each player turn, and all units require a number of "Command Points" to be used that turn (which is known as “Activating ” the unit). When all command points are spent, the opponent’s turn begins. Each unit, upon being activated, can move and act in any order. The possible actions are “Move”, “Embark/disembark”, “Attack” and “Use active skills”. A typical game is a Sudden Death match, where the winner is the player that eliminates their opponent’s ability to activate units. However, in addition to this a description of advanced rules and missions for more experienced players is given.
