In the final hours of our March to War 2021 event, the print-run of Imperial Commander sold out. We learned soon afterwards that its author, the wargaming legend Richard Halliwell, had sadly passed away. We will have the book back in stock hopefully during May, and will let you all know when it happens. Our thoughts are with Richard Halliwell's family at this sad time.

Imperial Commander

Imperial Commander was published initially in 1981, and deals with a more mass combat in the Laserburn universe rather than character-focused skirmishing of the core rules. Written to stand on their own, these rules assumed 30 to 50 miniatures a side.

If you would like a see more about Laserburn, there is an excellent video Codex Compliant by Snipe and Wib channel. An 18-minute look at the Laserburn rulebook and the fiction and rules of this classic game. See this on our blog.

Thank You for Your Time!
