Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Fury & Steel: Pacific Theatre of Operations.
What is Fury & Steel: Pacific Theatre of Operations?
Fury & Steel is an immersive tabletop wargame that focuses on World War II naval warfare in the Pacific Theatre. Players command legendary fleets, make tactical decisions, and engage in historically accurate naval combat scenarios.
How many unique ships are there?
There are over currently 116 ship classes identifed between the United States Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy. These are all made up of Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships, and Aircraft Carriers.
What scale miniatures does the game use?
The game is designed for 1:1800 scale miniatures, but we're fully model agnostic. You can use your favorite miniatures or our print-and-play option with perfectly scaled tokens generated by our fleet builder.
What are the base sizes?
All ship classes will have a base size provided. Base sizes range from submarines on a 50mm x 25mm base up to large Fleet Carriers on a 175mm x 30mm base. All aircraft are on 25mm bases / flgiht stands.
Will there be a free option?
Our current plan is to release both a premium and free version. With the Premium version you would have access to the full rule book containing all ships, aircraft, and weapon systems. Additionally in the premium version you will have access to the full fleet builder with all of the special rules, and the ability to generate your fleet tokens for a full print and play option.
In the Free option we plan to release the core game rules, along with a very limited selection of ships for you to try out. The Fleet manager will allow you to create fleets, however the data provided will be limited, and there will not be a printa nd play option.
