• Medium Ships: 60mm To play the game you are going to need some six-sided dice,
• Light Ships: 32mm which we will refer to as D6. Depending on how many models
• Squadrons: 32mm you are playing with, we recommend having at least 3-5 dice to
keep things fast.
Here are some general guidelines for base sizes when using

long as you keep base sizes consistent across all models.
Re-Rolls
Whenever a rule tells you to re-roll a dice result, simply pick up
the number of dice you have to re-roll, and roll them again. The
result of the second roll is the final result, even if it’s worse than
the first. A die roll may only be re-rolled once, regardless of how
many rules apply to it.

Roll-Offs
Whenever a rule tells you to roll-off, all players involved in the
roll-off must roll one die, and then compare their results. The
player with the highest result wins the roll-off, and in the event of
a tie the players must re-roll until there is a winner.
Modifiers Ship Facings
Throughout the game there are going to be rules that apply All ships must have clear front, sides and rear, based on where

number may vary.
Ship facings are determined by straight lines starting from the
Whenever a modifier applies to one of your rolls, simply add or center of the base, forming four separate quadrants.
subtract the value from the roll and the new value counts as the
final result, however a roll of 6 always counts as success and a
roll of 1 always counts as a fail, regardless of how much it is
being modified by.
Example: A Heavy Ship with a Precision Rig (+1 to hit on turrets)
shoots its turret at a light ship (evasion 4+). The player rolls two
dice and gets a 2 and a 3, but due to the modifier the final result
is a 3 and a 4. This means that the ship got one success (the 4)
and one fail (the 3).

Measuring Distances
To play the game you are going to need a ruler marked in inches,
which you may use to measure distances at any time.
Distances are always measured from the closest point of the
attacking model’s base to the closest point of the target’s base.

Note that squadrons can see in all directions, regardless of where

the miniature is actually facing.

Line of Sight
To determine if a model has line of sight to another model, draw
a straight line from the center of the attacker’s base to the center
of the target’s base, and if the line doesn’t pass through any solid
obstacle (including ships), then it has line of sight.
For the purpose of determining line of sight, ships may always
ignore squadrons (friendly or enemy).

Measuring Movement
When measuring how far a model moves always measure so that
no part of its base moves further than the total distance.
Preparing the Battlefield
You are going to need a flat 6’x4’ surface to play on, which is
usually referred to by us as “the battlefield” or “the table”.
Whilst we recommend playing on a table, you can of course play
on the floor, on a bed, or wherever else you have space.
Once you have found a space to play, you are going to have to
place at least 5 pieces of terrain on it, though we recommend
using 10 or more to keep things interesting.
Whilst it’s always nice to play with great looking pieces of
terrain, you can simply use household items such as books or
cups as terrain pieces.
There are no specific rules on how you should place terrain, so
we recommend trying to set up the table in such a way that it
will provide a balanced playing field for everyone involved. Preparing your Fleet
Ideally you want to place enough blocking terrain that you can’t

well as place a variety of cover and difficult terrain so that there
are no gaps bigger than 18” between terrain pieces. For a start we recommend playing with fleets worth 300pts each,

After 4 rounds have been played, the game ends, and the player

Note that any movement during a pivot is not counted toward
the ship’s total movement allowance. Squadrons that are engaged with enemy squadrons can’t move,
regardless of what action they take.

may shoot, or which facing it may target, then roll one die, on a Squadrons are destroyed after taking 3 points of damage, whilst
1-3 the defender chooses, on a 4-6 the attacker chooses ships must assign damage to upgrades instead.
The defender must assign damage to one of its upgrades, and
must continue assigning damage to that upgrade until it has
taken 3 damage, at which point it is disabled.
If all of a ship’s upgrades have been disabled, then the ship is
destroyed and removed from play as a casualty.

Example: The bottom ship is shooting at an enemy ship and an

enemy squadron. The ship shoots from its front facing into the
ship’s side facing, and from its side facing at the enemy squadron
(note that squadrons don’t have facings).

The Shooting Sequence

Shooting is done in a simple sequence which has to be followed Example: The enemy squadron takes 3 damage and is destroyed,
step by step in order: whilst the ship takes 1 damage and assigns it to its Pulse Engine.
Note that the ship’s Missile Cluster had already been disabled,

If the ramming ship is within cruise speed of the target, and has a Note that if this pushes the target into another ship or blocking
clear path to reach it, then that enemy is a valid target. terrain, then it stops immediately and takes 1 damage.
Note that ships can’t ram enemy squadrons.

Ram Moves
To ram, you must move the ramming ship by up to its cruise
speed to get in base contact with the target, at which point the
ramming ship stops immediately.
Ramming ships may move by up to their full cruise speed value,
and may pivot once by up to 45° at any point after completing
half of their move.
Note that ships can’t use ram actions if their final position would
overlap enemy ships (but may if it would overlap squadrons).

Ramming Damage
After the ramming ship has moved into base contact with its
target, compare the max. upgrades of each ship.
The ship that has the lower number takes 3 damage, whilst the
one with the higher number takes 2 damage. In case of a tie both
ships only take 2 damage each.
Example: The bottom ship rams an enemy ship which has the
same number of max. upgrades. Because of this they both take
2 damage each. The ship is then pushed by D6” and collides
with an asteroid, and so it takes 1 additional damage.

immediately surrender.
To take a morale test, the affected ship must roll one die, and
add the number of non-disabled upgrades it has to the result.
If the final total is 6+, then the morale test is passed and the ship
doesn’t surrender (nothing happens).
If the final total is lower than 6+, then there are different results
based on the situation that the ship is in:

• If the ship has taken the morale test because its fleet
was down to half of its starting ships or less, then it
immediately surrenders.
• If the ship has taken the morale test because of a special
rule, then check the rule’s description to see what
happens to it.

Note that each piece of terrain may use multiple terrain type
rules where it makes sense.
Example: A piece of Space Debris terrain could count both as
Cover as well as Difficult Terrain.

Open Space
Any surface that is not specifically defined as a type of terrain
(like asteroids, space debris, nebulas, etc.) counts as open space.
Open space does not have any special rules, and any rules that
affect terrain do not apply to open space.

Blocking Terrain

Terrain features that can’t be moved through or are otherwise Radioactive Zones, Mine Fields, Black Holes, etc.

Models that move through or are pushed into dangerous terrain
immediately take D3 damage.

Cover Terrain
Space Junk, Gas Clouds, Nebulas, etc.
Terrain features that models can hide in or behind, or that could
stop projectiles, count as cover terrain.
If the majority of a model is in or behind a piece of cover terrain,
enemy models shooting at it get -1 to their hit rolls.

When firing a weapon with this special rule, if the target is hit,

Broadside
Weapons with this special rule may only be mounted on the

ships in their side facing.

Deadly
Weapons with this special rule always deal +1 damage per
unblocked hit on the target.

Fragile
The first time each round that a model with this special rule takes
any damage, it takes +1 damage.

Overheating
When firing a weapon with this special rule, the firing ship takes
1 damage for each result of 1 to hit that it rolls.

Relentless
When firing a weapon with this special rule, this weapon may
split its attacks to fire at different targets.
Note that all targets must be declared before shooting, and may
not be changed once you roll to hit.

Rogue
Squadrons with this special rule may skip activating during the
squadrons phase to activate in another phase, but may only
either move or shoot when activating in another phase.
