Firefight is a skirmish-level adventure game, based on the Ion Age background first developed by Alternative Armies to characterize their metal miniatures. It pits the fiercely independent humans of the Free Companies against their mysterious and powerful foe, the Shia Khan. This particular product is designed for science fiction urban combat, although the same system resurfaces throughout the Ion Age range. Firefight is extremely fast-moving and demanding. Combat is deadly; combat with weapons of a future era are bound to be even more destructive. Firefight is very unforgiving; the guy who takes the wrong risk at the wrong time is going to be decimated.
