About the Game

Broadside: Empires of Steel is a tabletop miniatures game set in the era of HMS Dreadnought.

The game is designed for fast, action-packed games between fleets consisting of roughly 7 to 12 ships per side.

The rules allow you to play a game of six turns in a couple of hours with decisive results. They are also designed to be fun, without the need for consulting vast numbers of tables to find out what is happening to your ships.

The game has a concise Rule book, a free online mission book and a free online fleet builder. The Mission book has ten missions. All the ships have a corresponding ship card with all the ships stats on them. On this ship cards have points to ensure even sided games can be played if your not looking to re-create historical encounters.

All the cards print for free from the builder app. Once you create an account you can order the ships directly from the list builder.

The game has nine different nations each with their own unique ships. The game includes submarines and zeppelins.

The game is designed and manufactured in Australia.
