Gunmetal Maidens

Greetings, Commander.

This morning at 0600, our scouting drones picked up signals coming from a new command center in Sector 07. Tactical was able to intercept their broadcast and determined it’s garrisoned by a small defense force and has three patrol groups operating in the vicinity.

We’ve got three squads ready to sortie, I’ve prepared individual dossiers for you to review. They should be more than capable.

Just say the words, Commander.

In Gunmetal Maidens, you and your comrades play the role of one of The WARDEN PMC’s COMMANDERS. As a Commander, you are to defend SECTOR 07. To aid your cause, you’re in charge of a contingent of MAIDENS, highly-advanced autonomous androids that closely resemble humans and were meant to perform in civilian roles. However, Maidens under your command have been retrofitted with FIRE CONTROL CORES that allow them to wield weapons in place of human soldiers, and as androids they’re more skilled and durable than any humans who would serve under you in the first place.

Each player controls a single SQUAD, which is made up of three Maidens. Squads then depart on missions where they may encounter and eliminate hostile forces.

The exception being one player plays the role of OPFOR. The job of OPFOR is to assign compelling missions and create hostile forces for the Commander to defeat.

Gunmetal Maidens primarily contains rules for combat, and has no structured narrative system.


This game will probably receive more development in the future, but this is an early version that I wanted to publish for April Fool's!


This system was heavily heavily inspired by the mobile game Girl's Frontline.
