Galaxy Fleet Wars Standard Edition
Publisher: Galaxy Fleet Wars ltd
Galaxy Fleet Wars (GFW) is a game of Epic Starship combat inspired by the epic space battles seen in many movies and certain TV sci-fi shows, along with a selection of books and comics.
The idea in Galaxy Fleet Wars is to create epic space battles with fully 50 to 100 ships a side, and play through a battle in two to six hours! The game mechanics are devised to be quick and easy to learn, with the basic game fitting onto one reference sheet and a turn-flow chart to remind players of the rules.
I hope the game will present itself as a challenge to even the most advanced gamer, be fun for all to play, and blow some fresh air into what has become for many a stagnant game genre dominated by over-complex mechanics drowning the fun aspect all games need.
In the Standard Edition, you will find many more complex concepts have been added to the game, as well as full rules for designing vessels (both basic and advanced) and a casual campaign system to facilitate non-map-based competitions.
Galaxy Fleet Wars has no specific setting. It is totally generic, and any models can be used to represent the starships of each navy! Only your imagination matters when building your fleet. Having said that, this edition of GFW comes with my own dark future setting and a list of alien races in the section entitled The Universe of Galaxy Wars. Some of the scenarios link to this section, and I will be releasing a range of miniatures for each of the races detailed, some of which you will see pictures of through this book.
There is much more to come, should you, the players, make it possible with your support in the next volume, Galaxy Wars: A Galactic War Campaign Guide! and possible POP fiction tie-ins.
For online support, go to Fleetdock13, where articles on modelling many of the vessels and terrain features can be found.
I Hope You Enjoy GFW as Much as I Have!
Live long and blast the hell out of them!
