Stars and Steel is compact, modular and highly playable mass spaceship wargame!
What make the Stars and Steel unique?
First – it’s really mass scale wargame in the space opera style! Players lead the entire fleets and the basic unit is the squadron of huge warships. The typical mid size fleet can consists of a few dozens destroyers, cruisers and battleships and big fleets can consist of more than a hundred spaceships!
The battles can be resolved quickly without bogging into the details, as from game point of view the squadron is considered as whole.
Fast, but flexible fleet and squadron composition, which favours experiments, variety and new combinations. In short: buy commanders, choose one of a few possible pre-set composition for them and fill it with ships from different classes.
Squadron commanders skills has crucial role! They are not determined only by the rank (which determines squadron size), but also commanders leading style.
