Introduction

The Phoenix Command High Speed Pursuit System (PCHSPS) is designed

to let you simulate the use and abuse of common civilian wheeled motor

vehicles, especially those involved in high-speed pursuits, while providing a

realistic sense of the dangers and decisions involved. It is compatible with

other Phoenix Command products, but the game stands alone and requires

little or no familiarity with them. Players should find the rules satisfy both role-

play and miniatures purposes, and can be modulated to taste.

Play requires only paper, writing implements, and at least one six-sided

and one ten-sided die. We recommend using 1:60 to 1:70 scale toy cars, if

possible. Advanced play may require a calculator, rulers, protractors, detailed

maps and GM preparation. Players should be able to think in terms of degrees

(e.g. perpendicular lines are 90 o , a circle reads 360 o , etc.) as these are used

fairly often.

For those familiar with the Phoenix Command Combat System (PCCS) ,

we recommend getting used to thinking one step up in terms of time. That is,

in PCCS, the basic time units are second Impulses, with advanced play

employing 1/10 th second Master Phasing Counts. Here, the basic time unit is

the 2-second Phase, with advanced play employing Impulses.

Note that the Turns used here span 10 seconds, distinct from the 8

second Turns used in the Phoenix Command Mechanized Combat System.

To combine the two systems, all one needs to do is prorate any given vehicle’s

performance per Phase.

And lastly, when rolled singly, a six- or ten-sided die is written (6) and (10)

respectively. Four six-sided dice would be written 4(6), and so forth. When

two ten-sided dice are rolled in sequence to produce a number from zero to

ninety-nine, they are termed 0-99.

It is important to note, right from the beginning, that this system is still in

its beta stage , meaning that it is still unfinished . The system hasn´t been fully

playtested and some (if not many) of the rules may still need modifications for

them to work realistically and smoothly. Some portions of the tables and rules

were intentionally left blank or unfinished, as the designers didn´t have proper

knowledge or just wanted to see what would come out of this frame of rules as

more people got their glance at it. Thus, if you (the reader) have any ideas

concerning this product, feel free to come out with them.

Before reading any further, you should notice that there is a rough Basic

System in the back of this book, that lets you simulate and play with maximum

speed and minimum effort. You have to, however, be familiar with some of the

rules in this system, in order to go with those “lite” rules.
