"A
Sky Full of Ships is designed to
be an easy, fast moving set of rules for
large scifi fleet actions. Playable with
as few ships per side as you like, or as
many ships as you own, these generic rules
will allow large games to be played to a
finish, on an average sized gaming table,
within several hours. The generic
nature of the rules will allow you to play
in whatever setting you prefer, using any
starship miniatures from any background at
all. Invent as much or as little of your
own universe, or borrow from the scifi
background of your choice. These rules
will work equally well for either."

page for the ASFoS fleet
combat rules.

Ships from the initial print run
are long sold and hard to find, so now
you can get a copy of ASFoS
as a downloadable PDF file from RPGnow.com.
This file is the same as the printed
version, a 40 page book with ship
design, basic movement and combat rules,
optional rules such as electronic
warfare, special weapons and
technological levels, as well as
scenarios, sample fleets and more.

- Here is the big announcement from Dan
Abbott:
Hardpoint
Games is pleased to announce that
the fast playing, generic scifi rules,
"A Sky Full of Ships"
will be available for purchase the third
week of October.
ASFoS
is designed to be an easy, fast moving
set of rules for large scifi fleet
actions. Playable with as few ships per
side as you like, or as many ships as
you own, these generic rules will allow
large games to be played to a finish, on
an average sized gaming table, within
several hours. The generic nature
of the rules will allow you to play in
whatever setting you prefer, using any
starship miniatures from any background
at all. Invent as much or as little of
your own universe, or borrow from the
scifi background of your choice. These
rules will work equally well for either.
This
40 page book will include most of the
rules already known to its fans,
polished up and expanded, along with new
rules never seen before. Sample
races, ships, scenarios, and sheets of
counters are included so that play can
begin immediately. Price - a mere
$15.00 Canadian.
I
will pass along more information on
where you can purchase ASFoS when I get
it.

- Formerly known as "Dan's
Fast and Simple Sci-Fi Fleet Rules"
this game has been updated recently with
rules for interceptors and bombers, and
a printer friendly version, there is
even a support site, A
Sky Full of Ships: An Online Resource
full of ship designs.
1/17/2001
- Inspired by Full Thrust
and the B5 Fleet Action
minis, Dan Abbott wanted to game even
larger battles than Full Thrust could
handle, so he took a bit of Full
Thrust and added some General
Quarters (WW2 Naval rules) and
ended up with simplified rules so huge
fleet battles could be played quickly
and easily.
