Snag A Look At Full Oak & Iron Rulebook From Firelock Games
September 6, 2019 by brennon
Firelock Games has now released the full Oak & Iron rulebook so you can get your head around the rules for the game before you dive into it soon. You can download it for free HERE.
The rulebook offers up all of the things you'd expect with guides for combat, movement and everything else. For example, you'll find rules for building up your squadron and also playing multiplayer games too.
The rulebook seems like it has been nicely put together with all sorts of diagrams and clearly marked gameplay elements focused in on. I haven't taken a proper deep dive into the game but it does seem like it will be a neat one to learn.
One of the key elements which will be fun to dive into in more detail is the way movement works and if they've managed to simulate the wind properly. Plus, we certainly want combat to be dangerous and brutal as cannonballs go flying around!
Additionally, the final pages of the rulebook also give us a glimpse of the different sets coming your way.
It looks like we're going to see some nicely themed forces with the Men Of War, Merchant Men, Gentlemen Of Fortune and Ships Of The Line. I love the covers to these which take on the look of classic artwork from the period.
Will you be snapping up this download so you can learn the rules ahead of the release?

Nice and the ships for the game look brilliant.
Nice, downloaded. so many options for naval combat lately really are spoilt for choice.
Can’t wait for my sets to arrive. Wind was handled very well in Blood & Plunder so I have no worries there. Multiplayer should be quite fun. Just need my pledge to ship.
Just waiting on the KS that has been delayed. We have been informed that Oak & Iron will begin shipping to backers in December, instead of October. Hoping I get it for Christmas as I have Christmas till New Years off to play.
Looking forward to getting my pledge.
Awesome! Looking forward to giving this a try.
