It’s been a rough weekend for me with illness, electrical outages, and internet outages. So although I have most of the work done on mechanics for the campaign system for Xenos Rampant, all that work is on pen and paper and not something I can put together quickly for this week’s article. What I can do instead, though, is make force lists for Command & Conquer! Xenos Rampant lists C&C as one of their main inspirations, and as far as inspirations go, it’s certainly one of my personal favorites. So this week, I’m converting GDI, Nod, and Forgotten arsenals! Rules text is not duplicated here, so you will need a copy of Xenos Rampant to use these.

Wolverine
Because Wolverines would fall somewhere between Elite Infantry and Combat Vehicles, there’s no satisfying way to represent them in Xenos Rampant. Either you make them a Combat Vehicle that’s no faster than Infantry, or you make them Elite Infantry with all the benefits of a commando unit. So I’ve left out stats for these.

*Xenos Rampant’s rules primarily focus on Infantry, and doesn’t rename a mechanic when it’s used for combat vehicles. High-Powered Blades in the context of Combat Vehicles is just how the system mechanically handles running over or stepping on infantry.

Shouldn’t this just be a copy/paste of Light Infantry? Yeah, it should. But I snagged Confessors from C&C 3 because it was cool and gave some added flavor.

Concluding Thoughts
This was fun to do as a test of the flexibility of the Xenos Rampant rules system, and it really did help me get a sense of what sort of armies can be built with these rules.
