Imperium Chronicles - Fleets at War!

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Fleets at War! is a tactical starship combat game played on the floor or a large table with cardboard counters representing capital ships, fighters, and other space craft.  Simplified game mechanics let players engage in small skirmishes all the way up to large-scale battles involving dozens of ships. 

If you like Fleets at War!, try the expansion Claws of Chaos, which you can buy individually or as a bundle.

Features

  • Three factions: the Imperium, the Magna Supremacy, and the Pirate Clans
  • 235 full-color ship counters + additional counters for fighters & missiles
  • 27 Stat Cards (one for each ship class)
  • 10 Scenarios introducing players to the game

The IMP System

Fleets at War! uses the IMP System that reduces the number of die rolls necessary during play.  All other calculations are done by referencing a chart of two opposing attributes (ex. Damage vs. Armor) to find a result.  The goal of this system is to speed up play and allow for large-scale battles.

Game Scale

Each counter in the game represents a single starship or a flight of four to five fighters.  An inch equals approximately 0.2 miles, or a mile equals 5 inches.  Each game turn equals roughly 2 to 3 minutes.

Stat Cards

Each class of ship (i.e.: heavy cruiser, destroyer, frigate, etc.) has a one- or two-sided card listing all the stats for that class, including its offensive and defensive capabilities.

Nicely polished game. It it positioned between a "fleet scale" game (where one hit kills a ship) and a "ship scale" game (where you keep track of each ship's laboratories, crew members, and weapon arming status). So it can handle a [...]

Great layout, excellent rules and game counters for all the fleets. Not having to buy a new set of miniatures is the selling point to me of the game. Other companies need to take a look a doing this, [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
