Mantic’s Firefight = The Best Sci-Fi Wargame? New Book, Rules & More Coming Soon! #OTTWeekender
July 14, 2023 by dignity
It's OTT Weekender time! Mantic Games' Firefight is looking like it could end up being a serious contender to Warhammer 40,000. Their 28mm scale game of the year Sci-Fi wargame set in the Warpath universe is getting a brand new expansion taking it to the next level with new miniatures, vehicles, rules and more.
Firefight gets the new Command Protocols book which brings a new game mode called Annihilation to the tabletop alongside some epic vehicles thanks to the folks from Warlord Games and Archon Studio. With loads of armies to play as, a solid set of wargaming rules and more to come, is Firefight the best Sci-Fi wargame on the market?

Fab show guy’s.
Loving the come back of Epic. Started back with first edition then onto 2nd space marine. Had four massive armies and played 7000 point battles with mates every week. Great times. Then the end times began as the devils workshop slowly dismantled our dystopia and wound epic down to nothing…..But there were heroes in the void who fought to keep it all alive.

Infinity Week should be great. Lots of interesting tactical morsels for those collecting different factions

I always enjoy the yearly visit from Carlos and Corvus Belli! ??

Para Bellum is Killin it! Thier really starting to make me think about cutting back on some of my other game buying programs. (yes I have a whiteboard of what is coming out and how much it will cost me and when I need to order it)
