Fireblade: As Simple and Fair as Possible – Tabletop Wargame Rulebook

In the future, humanity fights for the fate of the universe.

After barely surviving a devastating apocalypse, humanity builds a new civilisation in the future. This civilisation has a bold new purpose; to fight for the weak and downtrodden across the entire universe. To fulfil this new purpose, the mighty Space Knights are created. An unstoppable force of super soldiers, they fight for justice for all.

Fireblade is a tabletop wargame that uses fierce armies to fight in mortal combat. The main goal of the game is to be as simple and fair as possible. It is a great way for new wargamers to learn how to play on a tabletop. Because it's easy to learn but hard to master, it's also great for wargaming veterans.

In Fireblade, you can use any models you want, so if you have an existing army, you don't have to go and buy a new one. However, for those who enjoy painting and collecting miniatures, Fireblade will be offering original models in future. These models will be based on the design and art in the Fireblade rulebook.

One of the main reasons I designed Fireblade was because I found that, some other mainstream wargames were not simple or fair enough for my liking. Their rules could be very complicated and ever changing, making it hard to play the game casually. The rules didn't seem fair in the sense that, some armies were stronger than others and the strongest armies were constantly changing. This was bad when you had to collect and paint a whole army that was once strong but then became weak. The same could be said for individual units. With Fireblade, I have made all of those aspects fair to all players. A beginner has the same chance of winning a game as a veteran. Also in Fireblade, no-one goes first, we fight simultaneously so there is no unfair advantage.

I have also created an entire back story, universe and in depth art which is in the Fireblade rulebook. Fireblade has its own rich universe but you can use any models you want because the universe is a big place.
