About the game
SpecOps is a Gruntz Module that brings the exciting second-to-second action of Special Operations missions and campaigns to the tabletop. NEW RULES: New rules for stealth operations, contact blips, hacking enemy soldiers and more! NEW WEAPONS and EQUIPMENT: Specialist grenades, expanded weapon lists and more armor types to outfit your operatives. Hack enemy cybernetics with SLAM modules! NEW MISSIONS: Eight new missions along with a branching campaign make running your games easy and interesting. NEW TEAM TYPES: Choose from eight different types of teams with their own unique perkz each and further customize your troops with Species Traits to represent Aliens and Humans. NEW OFF-BOARD RESOURCES: Light up your enemy with a UAV drone, or maybe an orbital strike with your new off-board resources. NEW CAMPAIGN MODE: Advance your skills, build up your equipment stores and nurse your wounds with the new campaign mode that keeps your operatives from game to game. Includes Supplement #1: Squads, Solo and Co-op! This Supplement contains rules for using regular squads in your game as both additions to your force, as opposing forces controlled by the other player, or as non-player controlled forces in solo and co-op play. This supplement also contains a solo/co-op scenario which pits two SpecOps operatives trying to escape from indigenous personnel. The Gruntz Ver 1.1 rulebook is required for this module.

Spec Ops: A Gruntz Module supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Spec Ops: A Gruntz Module for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Spec Ops: A Gruntz Module belongs to these categories: Wargame, Print & Play, and Miniatures. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Solo / Solitaire Game, and Measurement Movement.

Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Spec Ops: A Gruntz Module are: Harold Crossley. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Spec Ops: A Gruntz Module as an expansion for Gruntz 15mm Sci-Fi. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Gruntz 15mm Sci-Fi to use it. Check that your edition of Gruntz 15mm Sci-Fi is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
