Fistful of Lead fans asked for a space fighter game and here it is - Fistful of Lead: Starfighters! As with previous Fistful of Lead rules each player only needs 5 or 6 miniature ships per player to start gaming. You can play 1-on-1 games or larger skirmishes with up to 6 or 8 players. This book contains rules for building your flight and how to set up different scenarios. A few genre options are provided to get you started as well as rules for fleet sized ships.. Most players of any age will pick up the game mechanics quickly, even those who have never played a wargame before. Starfighters! was not meant with any particular miniature line in mind. You can use whatever miniature space ships you have. There are many popular lines out there to choose from and some are very affordable on discount sites. This IS NOT a theoretical recreation of fighter on fighter space combat, but rather a Hollywood take on dogfighting in the dark depths of space. This IS a great way to spend an hour or two having fun with your friends, playing with spaceships and yelling "PEW! PEW! PEW!" -description from publisher
