Jay Wiley Design: New Fistful of Lead: Starfighters! Rules


Jaye Wiley Design: Fistful of Lead fans asked for a space fighter game and here it is - Fistful of Lead: Starfighters! As with previous Fistful of Lead rules each player only needs 5 or 6 fighters to start gaming.  You can play 1-on-1 games or larger skirmishes with up to 6 or 8 players. In playtest, we had a 10 player game with 50 ships on a 8' x 6' table and played in 2 1/2 hours.

This book contains rules for building your flight and how to set up different scenarios.  A few genre options are provided to get you started as well as some rules for taking it up in scale and using Fleet ships.  Most players of any age will pick up the game mechanics quickly, even those who have never played a wargame before.

Starfighers! was not meant with any particular miniature line in mind.  You can use whatever miniature space ships you have.  There are many popular lines out there to choose from and some are very affordable on discount sites. This IS NOT a theoretical recreation of fighter on fighter space combat, but rather a Hollywood take on dogfighting in the dark depths of space. This IS a great way to spend an hour or two having fun with your friends, playing with spaceships and yelling "PEW! PEW! PEW!" Available here
