The Fates Epic Miniatures Battles Game
Rules Universal
The Fates is the name of Tim Connolly’s epic scale miniatures combat game. Tim writes:
The Fates is a fast-paced, epic-scale mass-combat miniatures game for two or more persons. Players command large armies across the battlefields of Europa.
Rationale
The gist of The Fates is simple. Our local gaming community needed a quick, flexible set of miniatures rules that would be cheap and easy to grasp for the new-comer while still providing enough nuance and flavor for years of play by veteran gamers. Also we needed something that we could control the evolution of - a game that didn’t leave us at the mercy of company X or Y.The Fates as is a skeleton on which each individual player can hang as much detail as they wish in the form of flavor text. While the rules reflect human armies of identical capabilities, distinctions between your force and your opponents’ will emerge based on each individual’s tactics and style of play. How else could your Space Bugs be a match for your opponent’s Zombie Hordes or Hittite Army?
