5150: Infestation
-
Description
This is an expansion for the base game 5150.
From the publisher's website:
Infestation introduces the “tactical role-playing game” side of 5150. Players can use Infestation to “flesh out” their characters, giving them an almost life-like feel. Infestation blends the traditional RPG with fast and easy to follow combat on a personal level. Combining these two aspects allows players to enjoy the cinematic aspect of role-playing while keeping the excitement of a miniatures wargame.
