MEVO

Welcome to the ATSFE page for ATS EVO Moderns, or MEVO as we like to call it. MEVO is Critical Hit’s line of ATS modules depicting hypothetical and current conflicts using new rules for new technology, a higher resolution vehicle system, and some alternate rules for artillery and infantry, but all based on the core of 4.xx classic ATS (CATS). The current modules cover conflicts in eastern Europe.

We’re pretty excited around here about MEVO, so we’re devoting a whole page to it with links to FAQs and clarifications, house rules, module dependencies, and so forth.

VASSAL Support

Thanks to the Fully Engaged efforts of our friend Scottagles (check out our interview with him), there is full support for playing MEVO using VATS_MEVO. Note that ownership of the rules and appropriate modules from Critical Hit is required for use. You can access the files here.

Module #1, the U.S., contains the MEVO rules, so you need that as well as the 4.xx rulebook and charts. You’ll also need an OPFOR, not to mention all the charts for the Russian-built weapons systems that pretty much every non-U.S. belligerent is going to use, so #2, Russia, is essentially required as well. With just those two, you’re set: you can play MEVO and almost all of the scenarios with just the first two modules (one scenario requires Ukrainians, but otherwise nothing else is required). We’ll release module dependencies as the modules keep coming out.

* Only available to owners of the first eight modules.
