If you’re a fan of Gearbox Entertainment’s Homeworld Universe, then Modiphius has some exciting news for you (even if you’re not, you still probably want to take a look). They’ve announced Homeworld: Fleet Command, a new tabletop miniatures board game that they’ve been working on.
From the announcement:
Announcing Homeworld: Fleet Command, a new tabletop miniatures boardgame set in Gearbox Entertainment’s Homeworld Universe! Homeworld: Fleet Command puts would-be admirals in charge of Kushan or Taiidan fleets fighting it out in epic 1-4 player galactic battles where it’s victory or death!
Inspired by the mechanics of the Airfix Battles Introductory Wargame, Homeworld Fleet Command promises simple fast gameplay showcasing huge battles between squadrons of fighters, corvettes, frigates, destroyers, and fleet-busting capital ships.
We’re planning to launch a crowdfunding campaign in November 2022 where backers can expect to get the base game and expansion that offers new ship models, campaign play, ship upgrades, new game mechanics, and much more.
Homeworld: Fleet Command is an incredibly intense head to head battle of strategy that includes:
• A 10-part campaign that will take players from the first fighter skirmish to epic battles such as Return to Kharak, Supernova Station, and Tenhauser Gate.
• Step-by-step scenarios that make it easy to jump right into the shoes of an Admiral and gradually learn the core game mechanics as the size of your fleet increases.
• 101 plastic ships in the base game including the iconic Mothership, 48 fighters, 24 Corvettes, 24 Frigates, 2 Carriers, and 2 Destroyers and 1 mothership. The expansion adds another 100 ships to grow your fleet.
• Solo rules that let one person play either side against a determined opponent or up to four players can share the command.
