Brave Sun: Starship Miniatures Game

Brave Sun: Starship Miniatures Game is a fast-paced, tactical sci-fi wargame designed primarily around a 3D-printable, “print-and-play” distribution model. Built for 1 to 4 players, it allows commanders to manufacture their entire fleet at home using standard FDM or resin 3D printers.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

Alternating Activations: Players take turns activating one ship at a time. This keeps matches highly engaging and reduces downtime compared to traditional “IGOUGO” wargames.
Dice-Based Combat: Attacking involves rolling dice based on your ship’s specific firing arc and weapon ranges. Close-range maneuvers grant bonus attack dice.
Defensive Reactions: Targets roll defense dice to cancel incoming hits, making positioning and facing critical to survival.
Stat-Embedded Bases: Custom-printed flight bases feature built-in ship statistics, removing the need to constantly flip through rulebooks or rosters during a match.
Twist-Lock Rod System: Features a unique hardware mechanism to securely attach and detach 3D-printed starships to their flight stands without breaking delicate pieces.

Game Modes & Formats

Player Count: Supports 2 to 4 players for competitive fleet battles, but includes dedicated AI card systems for robust solo campaign play.
Match Length: Designed to be easy to learn and streamlined, with standard battles resolving in roughly 90 minutes.
Narrative Missions: Expansions like Attack on the Homeworlds offer branching narrative scenarios complete with dialogue and custom objectives.
