Stalker: Oblivion Lost is designed to be skirmish game for 28mm set in a science fiction/post apocalyptic setting. While players will command mltiple troops! the focs is more on individal figres! e"ipment and abilities! than large scale combined arms battles. #hs the detail level is greater and games will emphasi$e combat more at the sharp and bitter end amidst the grime of blasted rbble and twisted steel than a detached %od&s eye view of an entire war $one. '( ) '* figres per side is the ma+imm sggested force si$e. 1A. Keep it Simple, but not Stupid. #his game follows many standard conventions sed in other rle sets! however the intention here is to streamline and simplify mechanics to keep the game as fast! fn! and intitive as possible! withot sacrificing the importance of real world tactics. ,lso! an effort is made here to accommodate a variety of manfactrer&s figres! rather than constrain players to any one particlar line. #hs players will have to assign game stats! gear! and abilities that are appropriate and consistent with the particlar miniatres they wish to se. 2.
