What’s New in the Deluxe Edition?
Fields of Fire Deluxe Edition is an expanded and improved edition of Fields of Fire Volume I. Based on the past 15 years of feedback, hundreds of hours of playtesting, and long discussions with the design team, the Deluxe Edition presents Ben Hull’s masterpiece of tactical infantry command in a way that is accessible to the modern gamer while retaining all of the deep complexity that veteran players have grown to love over the years.
New features include:
- A Rewritten Series Rulebook. The Deluxe Edition comes with a rewritten 3rd Edition ruleset, packed with examples, diagrams, and clarifying notes while maintaining continuity with the 2nd Edition rules. Series Developers Andrew Stead and Colin Parsons have worked to eliminate ambiguities and edge cases throughout, creating a much improved reference manual for play.
- Training Material. While Fields of Fire has a reputation of being difficult to learn, the Field Manuals make it easy. Each chapter in the Basic Training Field Manual incrementally introduces new rules through training exercises that teach you the basics of infantry combat. In the Advanced Operations Field Manual you'll find guides on setting up for air assaults, defensive missions, and making the best use of supporting vehicles.
- A Full Stand-Alone Mission. Keep Up the Fire! is a WWII based stand-alone mission tailored towards easing new company commanders into the full game. This mission can be played repeatedly with a variety of simplified rules to allow you to adjust to the full historical campaigns.
- Four Fully Redesigned Mission Books. Refining and improving the new campaign book format that began with Fields of Fire: The Bulge Campaign, the Normandy, Heartbreak Ridge, Naktong River, and Vietnam campaigns are presented in a clarified and expanded manner featuring newly written background notes and additional features for this edition.
- Over 200 updated counters plus various additional reference markers and new units.
- New elevation cards to enhance the Heartbreak Ridge campaign.
- A completely new set of redesigned player aids including new charts, logsheets, Command Display, and air assault planning cards.
- A 3.5" Game Box
