(COMMERCIAL) Galactic Heroes now available
« on: November 01, 2018, 02:45:46 PM »
Fistful of Lead: Galactic Heroes is designed as a quick set of tabletop wargame rules for skirmishes in the worlds of Science Fiction. The rules are easy to learn and still keep the flavor of the genre.

What separates Galactic Heroes from most tabletop miniature games on the market, is the unique card driven turn mechanism. This leads to snap decisions and tense moments where all the players are involved.

For Galactic Heroes, we wanted the play to be fast and furious, with a Hollywood flair to it. For that reason, record keeping is kept to a bare minimum.

In most games, each player can control up to 5-6 miniatures without much trouble. Games can have up to 8 players without slowing down the game. Now, you can dig out all your old Sci-Fi miniatures gathering dust and have a game set in a galaxy far, far away or a grim, dark future. Or BOTH!

Experienced wargamers and new players alike will enjoy this game. It's perfect for convention games and just one on one skirmishes.

To play Galactic Heroes you’ll need: this rule book (or, after a few games just the Quick Reference sheet), several 10-sided-dice, an ordinary deck of playing cards, a place to play, a measuring tape, and the miniatures representing your favorite troops. Markers to represent whether your models are Shaken, Wounded or need to Reload can be found in this rule book.

Eight-sided and 12-sided dice may also be needed for some of the advanced optional rules.

Fistful of Lead: Galactic Heroes was written with 28mm figures in mind, but you can easily use models ranging from 15mm to 54mm without any changes.

So check the seals on your vac-suit. Have your blaster at the ready. It’s time to see if you’re a Galactic Hero!

A bit lonely, this topic.
Sounds really well. Is it possible to buy your products in Europe?

I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Most Americans find Cadbury Eggs disgusting so I’m not sure that’s a compliment or insult.

I purchased the PDF's and have been giving them a read over. So far I like them a lot. I see these working not only for Space Opera type of games but also for Steam Punk and even Post Apoc.

Well done, looking forward to getting a few games in soon.

I think you'll find this is very not true...

Got the pdf and I'll be buying the hard copy when Oshiro get them in. These will be my 'go to' rules for Star Wars, Aliens, Rogue Trader and everything else in between. They're so versatile.

Yep, these are an excellent set of rules, spot on for all types of games as listed above and many more!

Well worth the investment. ;D

Speak for yourself, they are a hit around these parts (at least in my world);-)
