BFG Microfleet Gothic Bases and templates

thingiverse

Microfleet Gothic is a term I use to describe half-scale BFG fleets and gaming. Game-play takes place on a half-size board, with ranges and movement reduced by half; minis, bases, and markers are all scaled down compared to the original models, primarily based on the scale of the original STL files. All ship models come equipped with an insert that accepts a 5x1mm magnet, as do all of the bases in this design. For players who find their cruiser minis unstable on 15mm bases, I've provided 20mm bases for added support; just be sure to share the Nova Cannon coverage and blast marker contact generously if using 20mm cruiser bases. The three 3-ship escort bases are convenient to use and don't significantly impact game-play; it's up to the players whether or not to incorporate them into their strategy. No markers are provided for orders dice or ordnance, but I've seen that orders dice can be found elsewhere on Thingiverse, as well as ordnance (although I personally use differently-colored 12mm dice to represent these, as they're about the right size for fighter/bombers/boarding craft and missiles if using BFG XR options for torpedoes). Players looking for fleets for the game can search with the Microfleet tag or check my Designs page for available options.
