# Five Parsecs from Home: Tactics tags: #game/rpg/five-parsecs-tactics ![[Five Parsecs from Home - Tactics (cover).jpg]] **Five Parsecs From Home - Tactics** is a tabletop miniatures wargame set in the **Five Parsecs From Home** universe, but with a focus on larger-scale battles. Think of it as the difference between a barroom brawl and a full-blown planetary invasion. You still get the same quirky sci-fi setting and desperate struggle for survival, just with more explosions and questionable tactical decisions. ## Core Mechanics The core mechanic in **Five Parsecs From Home - Tactics** revolves around the trusty D6. You'll be rolling a bunch of these for various actions, aiming to roll equal to or higher than a target number. This target number is determined by a combination of your unit's stats, the situation, and probably some questionable choices made in your past. Unlike the original game, there are no special effects for rolling 6s. Instead, success is determined by the total number of successes rolled. More successes mean more hits, more damage, and more aliens biting the dust (or whatever the equivalent is in the **Five Parsecs** universe). ## Editions **Five Parsecs From Home - Tactics** is a standalone game, but it's fully compatible with the original **Five Parsecs From Home**. This means you can take your ragtag crew from the original game and throw them into even bigger and more ridiculous situations. Just try not to get them all killed, or you'll be back to square one. ## References - [Five Parsecs From Home: Tactics - Modiphius](https://modiphius.net/en-us/products/five-parsecs-from-home-tactics) - [Wargame SITREP 24-44 / TTRPG Roll 24-30 ~ Almost RPG fighting Five Parsecs From Home in big TACTICS (Modiphius, 2024) - Rocky Mountain Navy](https://rockymountainnavy.com/2024/08/04/wargame-sitrep-24-44-ttrpg-roll-24-30-almost-rpg-fighting-five-parsecs-from-home-in-big-tactics-modiphius-2024/) - [(Commercial) Modiphius 5 Parsecs: Tactics Big Battles - Lead Adventure Forum](https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=145836.0) ### See Also - **[[Five Parsecs From Home]]**
