What Is Firefight?
Firefight is a squad-based, sci-fi wargame set in the distant future. Not a dark, dystopian future where everyone is always fighting for their lives. This is a future where capitalism and greed have grown immeasurably and humanity’s grip on the galaxy continues to be a stranglehold.
Giant corporations, collected together under the umbrella of the Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere (GCPS), grow rich by exploiting the natural resources of planets spread throughout the galaxy. In order to do this, they recruit sprawling armies to defend their assets… and wipe out the local population, should they become hostile.
And they do become hostile! Humanity’s inexorable journey across the stars has brought them into conflict with numerous alien races. Some – like the stoic Forge Fathers or aloof Asterians – can be bargained with, while others – such as the ravenous Plague or insidious Veer-myn – only understand violence.
These conflicts are represented in Firefight through epic skirmishes on the tabletop. Typically a game will feature around 40-60 miniatures, with a mix of infantry, airships soaring through the sky and tanks trundling across the battlefield. It has alternating activations, which ensures gameplay is dynamic and you never have to wait long until it’s your turn to roll some dice and start blasting!
