Battlefleet Gothic: Invasion
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Battlefleet Gothic: Invasion is a booklet that provides rules to combine the Battlefleet Gothic game and the standard Warhammer 40,000 game. In the expansion are rules and scenarios that expand on the gaming system.[1]
This game expansion is based on the fighting between a fleet and either a planetary defence or a space station defence. It emphasizes "Boarding Actions", i.e. fighting of troops between ships and/or bases, and uses different scenarios to emphasize the varied combats or events that can happen such as:
- Space
- Retrieval - The fleet is sent to retrieve an artefact from the remains of a battle.
- Defensive Ring - An attack made against a refuelling station to disrupt an enemy's hit-and-run tactics.
- Port Maw - An invasion of the mighty Port Maw after a power outage.
- Ground
- Boarding Party - A standard raid in which an outnumbered opponent attempts to board and destroy an enemy's flagship.
- Deadline - A raiding party has a limited time to get rid of a large defence weapon while the two fleets battle each other.
