Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Fleet Battles társasjáték Kiegészítő

Angol leírás

This is fan-produced set of rules for recreating the fleet battles as shown in the anime series Legend of the Galactic Heroes. This is a modification for the rules Brigade: Fire and Fury. A copy of these rules is needed to play this game.

Why has a set of Civil War rules been adapted for space battles? Simply put, the battles in LotGH are EPIC. Fleets consist of thousands of vessels, from battleships to destroyers, and millions of soldiers. Because of technology it is no longer possible to use guided weaponry, so commanders are made to adapt formations and fight the battles using Napoleonic tactics. Ships line up and fire volleys, hoping to score a hit, they charge, outflank, and form various breakthrough and fire formations. The battles are fought over long distances, with weapons firing out as far as 40 light seconds. The commander of the fleet, like Napoleon, watches the battle and makes decisions, hoping that his strategy takes the day.

It was apparent that the battles of LotGH would need to be land based. Fire and Fury presented a groundwork that was easily adapted for fleets that have adopted horse and musket tactics. As such, there was no great need for modification of the rules; the only big difference being that the infantry, cavalry and artillery stands were now replaced with ships. The way the game plays has some minor changes, but all-in-all the game plays like a typical Fire and Fury battle.

The game is meant to be played with the 1/12000 scale model ships from Hobby Base and Alba Creates. The scale is 1" = 1 light year and 1 ship is around 500 vessels. The 34-page booklet includes modified rules for playing the game under Brigade Fire and Fury, ship and leader data, organization tables, game charts, and counters of the ships that can be cut out and used as proxies.
