Battle for Sephai: Full Scale War

Battle for Sephai: Full Scale War is an epic-scale game designed for 10mm or 15mm miniatures. The book comes with a complete world and setting, based in the year 2250AD. On the blasted plains of Sephai Prime players command massive armies made up of tank companies, mech clans, waves of infantry and wings of grav-jets, supported by batteries of artillery and the thunder of superheavy leviathans. Battle for Sephai uses an initiative activation system - each unit activates in initiative order and may make up to two actions. This means that swift units like war-buggies and grav-troops can get the drop on heavier forces, who rely upon sheer armour to survive and retaliate. Infantry models use elemental bases - each representing a complete squad. Vehicle models may be based or not depending on the player's discretion. Game play uses the D6 and the scatter dice. Rules are written to be intuitive and combat uses two rolls - roll to hit, roll to defeat armour. Players can add complexity if they like through advanced rules, but this is not a necessity to enjoy the game. What is included in the core book? All the rules needed to play the game, including examples of play and universal special rules. Rules for solo play against an 'AI' Six scenarios for varied gameplay Rules for fielding companies - larger detachments which introduce a new tactical challenge. Advanced rules introducing 'Special Orders' for players who want more complexity. Four massive and unique army lists, consisting of over one hundred units and dozens of weapon systems. An introduction to the world of Sephai Prime, the history, the narrative, the technology and the factions. The Four Factions There are four major factions in the core book. The Federated States of Humanity (FSH) - The FSH have the most powerful and varied army on the planet. This is a balanced force, comprising a wide range of armour, infantry, battle-suits, artillery and air support. FSH armies rely on their disciplined troops, reliable war-tech and combined-arms to triumph. The Liberation Union of New Actares (LUNA) - LUNA forces are made up of partisans and guerillas, an ad hoc army which defends the cities of the moon. LUNA rely on armies of light vehicles, supported by fierce light infantry. They are a nightmare to face on the battlefield, outflanking their foe, cutting off supply lines and utilizing hit-and-run tactics. LUNA lack heavy units and must bring much firepower to bear to defeat tougher targets. The Autonomous Renaissance Machinate (ARM) - Also known as the 'ARM Imperative', this is a faction of war-machines who rebelled against their corporate masters. The ARM are unique in that all of their leaders are sentient androids, most of their number slaved to vast engines of destruction. The ARM have the most elite forces, fielding whole clans of steel titans bristling with heavy weapons. However they lack numbers and must rely on human mercenaries to capture objectives and command the field. The Legion - The Legion are known by a thousand names - every one a curse. They are the most terrible fighting force ever produced by mankind - a horde of warriors with no concern for life or limb. The Legion wield forbidden X-tech, utilizing any weapon to defeat their foe. They can field vast armies of expendible troops and brutal tanks, wielding powerful short-range weapons to vapourize their foes. Their lack of ranged weaponry and poor initiative is their only military weakness. Commanded by the will of the Witch-Doctor all of their hatred is utterly dedicated to the conquest of Sephai Prime. —description from the publisher
