Blight Seas Fleet is an indie naval-themed miniatures skirmish game set in a dark fantasy world, where small fleets of hulking pre-dreadnoughts crewed by reanimated corpses battle for control of the world’s dwindling resources. The game has been out in public beta as a free-to-play PDF ruleset for over a year now and has gone through a couple of revisions based on feedback from playtesting. A full range of miniatures has been developed for the game, which are currently for sale as unsupported and pre-supported STL files for home 3d printing.

Blight Seas Fleet was influenced by the now defunct Battlefleet Gothic and the indie skirmish game Turnip 28. If you are familiar with either of those games, or more modern commercial miniature skirmish games like X-Wing and Armada, you will have a good understanding of what to expect in terms of gameplay. A brief overview of core features is as follows:

- 2 player competitive gameplay

- 5 turn limit

- Alternating activations

- Mission or objective based with victory points scored at the end of each turn

- Approximately 3-12 ships per player depending on the mission

“The lumbering bulk of the Abominable-class battleship, Undying Tyrant, burst through the clouds of dense smoke with its guns belching fire. Thick, dark water crashed against its armoured prow and sent great flurries of spray up into the air that would have drenched its decks, were they not deflected by the black wings of the wrought iron vulture that perched atop its bow.

From his vantage point, high up on the bridge, Captain Fuller-West surveyed his officers as they directed shambling hordes of mindless seamen to load and operate the Tyrant’s secondary batteries. Clumsily, but tirelessly and with the strength of several men they worked, valuable Reagent coursed through their veins and animated their patchwork bodies. This was the miracle of the Empire’s great Corpse Technicians, not resurrection, but corpse-slaves that were no more alive than a steam engine or repeating rifle and no less expendable.“

Is there a better place to ask questions?
1. How long does a "Scouted" marker last?
2. Can the faction ships be taken more than once in a fleet?

At the moment, probably not. I'm most active on Instagram and will reply to DMs there, so that might be faster for more immediate and in depth replies. I'm currently working on the GameFound campaign and starting to set up a module for Tabletop Simulator, but I'll look into making a Discord server once that's up and running.

Regarding the questions:
1. The intention is that the token is just a reminder for the rule, so the target will remain scouted until the scouting squadron can no longer scout it (loss of line of sight or they are completely destroyed) or choose to do something else (open fire or scout a different target). However, on reflection, this is definitely not clear, so I will update the rules. Thanks for the question!
2. There is no restriction on what ships can be taken other than the agreed upon Order of Battle for the mission, so yes. So far, in playtesting, this hasn't caused any serious balance issues, but if any issues do arise I'll look into either rebalancing the ship...See more

This looks like BFG Wet Navy done right. I also notice that all the base sizes are available from Reaper Miniatures, so good picks there. Is there an online community for the game anywhere? Is love to get more of the setting and see the art vision.

Thanks for the feedback! There's a small community mostly on Instagram at the moment. I'm about to start crowdfunding to try to get a physical starter set manufactured. I'm also hoping to develop a module for Tabletop Simulator soon, which might help to get things going.
