Stars & Lasers

Hi Ian, yes it can be used like this and I have played a few games doing just that, it can be very hard for one ship to survive against many but it is fun trying.
A few small ships chasing a big ship would probably be best, keep the points for both sides on a similar level and it should be ok.

Hi Dean, I am glad you like the rules.

I have been looking into doing a short video as it is something that I have wanted to do for a while, I am just not very good at it, but I will practice and hopefully will get one done soon.

Hi Felix,
Glad you have shown a little interest in my rules… please download all the free stuff, that will give you some idea of the type of game it is, or even look at some of the battle reports on my site www.littlewargamingworlds.com they also will show you what it is like, either way you could use all the scenarios for your preferred game system.

“What is the pitch?” not really sure what I can say to make your mind up for you, so all I can do is tell you a little about the game, and its background.

I am not going to run down other games systems to promote mine… I have played many and enjoyed playing them, free and paid for.
But I decided after many many years of playing spaceship battle games like Full Thrust, and Firestorm Armada, and even a few games of Dropfleet, and many others over the years, not many are balanced! or should I say players can un-balance them.
Or they felt overly complicated when all I wanted to do was play a fun game that was quick to...See more learn but still managed to give a good tactical feel… so I wrote Stars & Lasers.

Learning to play is simple and you should know the basic rules by the end of turn two!
If you want a game that is simple to play, and a game that you can add as much as you want to make it play the way you want, or a game that has over 70 pre-designed ships ( and growing ) plus space-stations all with their own data-sheets, plus fighters, and you can use any ships that you have, and you will get a cinematic spaceship game that is great fun to play, then Stars & Lasers could be the one you want..

Is it expensive? I don’t think so, it’s comparable to many sets on here, true there are many free ones out there as well, and I am sure there are some good ones, and no it is possibly not as nice as some of the professional rules systems out there, but the Bundle has a good saving on the main rules and a couple of extras, so not a bad way of getting into the rules.

I am also producing new stuff for the rules all the time, new ships, new weapons, new scenarios etc. etc. so plenty of new stuff to try, and most of it is free.

Is Stars & Lasers the game for you… I don’t know, but as I said download the free stuff and have a look through, hopefully you may decide to give it a try.

I too would be interested in more information. Tell us more!

I have adjusted the review pages slightly to show an example and explanation of the ships data sheet, I have tried to show examples from different sections of the rules but it is not possible here, but if you email me at starsandlasers@hotmail.com I could email a couple of example ship data sheets to you if you wanted.
