A group dedicated to the discussion of the Point Blank wargame miniatures rules moderated by the author.

Point Blank is a miniatures war game that simulates man to man combat at its lowest level. The focus in Point Blank is on the small unit tactics used by fire teams and squads emphasizing the differing abilities of troops as well as their weapons. Because of this strict focus, Point Blank is by its very nature a fast paced game full of action where battles can change course in an instant.

The game scale is approximately two yards/meters per inch with one to ten seconds per activity phase. Each figure represents a single soldier, vehicle or weapon system. While each soldier is represented and moved individually in Point Blank and squad training as well as individual initiative are key concepts inherent to the game system, Point Blank is not a role playing game. Individual statistics for each soldier such as "strength" are not tracked and record keeping is kept to a minimum.
Point Blank is written to be flexible enough to allow gamers to use the same rules to simulate any small scale engagement from World War II to science fiction skirmish engagements such as ship to ship boarding actions and planet side firefights between alien species.

Point Blank is designed to be a modular game system where the basic rules are easy to learn and encompass less than five pages. To this basic set of rules the players may add additional rules to suit their preferences. Rules from the extensive advanced and optional rules sections include: morale, hidden movement, recon by fire and special rules for science fiction gaming as well as many more.

Point Blank will be released in a single volume containing full tables of organization and equipment for all major combatants in WWII through the present as well as over a dozen science fiction species. The complete rule set will be over 150 pages in length and will require no additional purchase to play.
