Five Parsecs would be easy enough to play as coop. Just split the crew between the players. It's even easier because generation is random rather than point buy.

A normal card deck edited down only to the characters in the game. (So if you aren't using the NPC civilian rules you remove the deuces).What type of cards are used in the card activation?
Thanks for the review, this sounds right up my alley.Black Ops.
Solid enough modern skirmish warfare game. It uses card driven activation (I'm fine with that but some people hate it as a system). It covers everything you need in a short rulebook - suppressive fire, cover, calling in air strikes (!).
Probably its most impressive feature is the introduction of "blinds" to cover where people don't know where the area are and the stealth rules. This would handle infiltration well from what I can see.
A really good variety of scenarios, 3 standard and 6 stealth missions. It also gives six play boards from terminals to villages.
It'll do almost any faction you could want from the SAS to the Red Army Faction. (It also adds ninjas because fuck you that's why).
Writing is fine but if I'm honest it's a bit dry.
The campaign rules are only two pages and pretty basic. They feel like a bit of an afterthought. This is much more of a game for single battles.

Maybe Mantic? Amazon productDoes anyone know a good source of human/grimdarkish marines that aren't that other game? Standups for cheapness preferred but cheap mini's are cool.
Thanks! I picked up Habet, Hoc Habet on your recommendation and it seems really decent. I also found Sons of Mars which looks solid. That has lots of individual gladiator types with a choice of skills which might give you what you're looking for with one to one.Most of them support the notion of running your own schola as a ludus. Habet, Hoc Habet is a pretty good all-round choice. Rudis and AH's Colosseum is also all right. My issue with a lot of gladiator minis games is that I always feel there's not enough detail for one-on-one fights. I've been toying with the idea of just using GURPS Man-to-Man for it.

Little Wars TV reviewed Sons of Mars here.I'm looking for a solid gladiator ruleset which supports campaigns. Any recommendations?
Victus seems to be up on Brigade Games but I can't even tell if it's a PDF or not and in general their international options seem very confusing - https://www.brigadegames.com/Victus-Gladiator-Combat-Wargaming-Rules-System_p_3593.htmlLittle Wars TV reviewed Sons of Mars here.
AFAIK they reviewed Victus, too, but I think that's Patreon exclusive.
