The Bunker Manifesto
About The Micro Bunker
Fast turns, high narrative drama, and zero rules bloat.
Tabletop Philosophy
The Micro Bunker was created out of a desire for table-ready, fast-playing miniature wargames that prioritize decision-making and dramatic outcomes over hours of chart-consulting.
Whether dodging gunfire behind a saloon door in Cowpoke, holding a desperately thin shield wall in Valhalla's Gate, or coordinating grand division battle lines in Dress on the Colors, our games share core tenets:
Core Principles
- Immediate Action: Turn structures that minimize downtime and keep both players engaged constantly.
- Push-Your-Luck Friction: Meaningful risk/reward choices rather than passive bucket-of-dice attrition.
- Print-and-Play Accessibility: Free downloadable PDFs, streamlined Quick Reference Sheets (QRS), and open compatibility with standard 28mm and 15mm miniatures.
- Modular Scenarios: Narrative setups that tell memorable stories on 3x3 and 4x4 gaming tables.
Adding Games & Future Expansion
Micro Bunker is designed with open extensibility. The site's static architecture allows new rulesets, playtest supplements, community battle reports, and custom card sets to be integrated with simple, version-controlled markdown files.
