HARD DROP - System Neutral Tactical Insertion Missions

A system-neutral toolkit for tactical insertion missions and dynamic terrain traversal. Written with FIST in mind, but system- and setting agnostic!

You know how in Helldivers 2, you all stand around the planning table, pick a drop zone and try to figure out the best approach for the mission?

HARD DROP provides everything you need to create engaging infiltration spaces with meaningful tactical choices around insertion, objectives, and extraction.

Features:

• Quick-to-use hex-based terrain generation system that creates tactically interesting landscapes with just a few rolls.
• Three-tiered terrain classification (Open, Obstructed, Dangerous) that makes movement and approach planning meaningful.
• Simple but effective mechanics for placing objectives, danger zones, and extraction points.
• Essentially doubles as a mission framework - generate a map, add objectives, and let players formulate their plan.
• Randomized hex selection system ensuring varied mission layouts while maintaining tactical coherence.

Whether you're planning a high-altitude insertion into enemy territory or navigating treacherous wilderness between mission objectives, HARD DROP gives you the tools to create engaging, player-driven tactical infiltration missions.
