What’s New?

If you’ve played the old FTL, you’re going to be right at home with GF: Warfleets, which is primarily a refinement of the core rules, combined with a staggering expansion from 6 old generic factions to 17 brand-new Grimdark Future specific factions for you to enjoy.

To give players a bit more guidance, we have introduced a basic Force Organization structure, which is completely optional as usual. When playing a full 450pts match, players will be able to bring up to 2 heroes, 3 copies of each ship, up to 9 ships, and up to 12 squadrons. In order to bring GF: Warfleets in line with our other games, we have also removed the initiative player roll-off, so the player that deploys first gets to go first.

The change that is probably going to have the most impact on your games is the reduction of ship survivability. In the previous version, each ship component and squadron took 3 damage to be disabled, which lead to unsatisfying games, where few ships were destroyed by the end of the game. In GF: Warfleets components and squadrons are now destroyed after taking just 2 damage, and we’ve increased the point size, giving you exciting games with more ships and more destruction.

We have also made some changes to how certain weapons and upgrades work, and introduced Boarding Pods and Sniper weapons to the core rules. Boarding Pods are used to deal damage to enemy ships over time, whilst Sniper weapons allow the attacking player to decide which components are damaged (instead of the defender). Both of these give you new tactical options in how to defeat different ship types, and add more depth to the game.

Besides these changes, there have been lots of tweaks to heroes, titles, upgrades, and weapons, as well as the introduction of 17 new factions of course. As before, players can mix ships and upgrades from the core rules and the various factions, giving you a ton of options for highly distinct playstyles. You’re spoiled for choice now, and thanks to the integration with Army Forge, it has never been easier to build your fleet.

With this new edition we have also updated the Advanced Rules, as well as all free expansions like Campaign Rules and Solo & Co-Op Rules. We hope that you enjoy GF: Warfleets, and can’t wait to hear about your epic space battles in the future!
