SPEED, SURPRISE, AND VIOLENCE OF ACTION.

HAYWIRE MODERN is a fast-paced, class-based, modern tactical skirmish miniatures game for use with any miniatures.

With quick standalone missions and two in-depth campaign modes, HAYWIRE MODERN delivers endless replayability:

Tour of Duty sees commanders managing the resources of a covert special operations task force base in a hostile environment. Build a modular campaign, construct a base and manage the resources to develop your growing force. This campaign allows players to project themselves into the area of the world they want by using random missions, while still keeping campaign events that can be triggered by player actions.

Haywire Protocol is the three-chapter narrative campaign mode following the operations of the newly formed multinational Task Force 21 as they uncover a global conspiracy. From covert raids in the Middle East to high-stakes battles in South America and an all-out war in the Caucasus, TF 21 is thrust into a conflict that threatens to ignite a global crisis!

HAYWIRE MODERN includes three tiers of player forces and adversaries: Tier 1 (elite special forces), Tier 2 (regular armed forces) and Tier 3 (militia or rebels), along with a host of support options. Choose from preset default units or assemble your own, from a breacher to an undercover operator or a dog handler.

Pick where to deploy your team or choose a random infil point like a covert van, an up-armoured Humvee or a crashed helicopter. Select a mission, anything from recon to a HVT capture or a bomb defusal. Gain tactical superiority by deploying strategic support like a recon drone or combat air support strafing run, but be careful of the fog of war event deck that can completely change your plan at any moment!
