The Comm Guild Maelstrom's Edge

The Maelstrom, a massive energy wave of unknown origin that obliterates all matter it encounters, erupted from humanity’s capital worlds a millennium ago. Chaos now engulfs civilized space as star systems are inexorably consumed by the slowly expanding storm. While common citizens desperately look for ways to escape it, powerful factions throughout the Spiral Arm turn their attention to the systems along the conflagration’s edge. These worlds are filled with precious resources soon to be lost forever, and opportunists take advantage of the turmoil to claim these riches. Deadly conflict escalates as all sides vie for ultimate supremacy of the Spiral Arm.

Do you have what it takes not just to endure, but to thrive in the turbulent universe of the Maelstrom’s Edge?

Battles On The Edge

Maelstrom’s Edge is a squad-based 28mm tabletop wargame for two opposing sides that brings to life the frantic skirmishes and tense battles of the Edge.

Manageable Forces

Easy to collect, paint and play: most forces are around 30 to 40 models for standard sized games, with units composed of 1 to 6 models.

Alternating Activation

Each turn, you alternate activating units with your opponent. This reduces downtime and ensures you remain part of the action at all times.

Innovative Dice Mechanics

Never get bored rolling dice again! A unique ‘dice flip’ mechanic helps mitigate bad luck and adds an extra layer of control to your tactical decisions.

Suppression

Wounding the enemy isn’t your only avenue to success. Suppression can also be used to make enemy units less effective and eventually destroy them.

Command Abilities

Command Points generated each turn allow you to lower suppression, trigger special abilities and even bring back destroyed units as fresh reinforcements.

Positioning Matters

If you outflank an enemy unit, they’re in trouble as their protection from armor and cover is reduced.

Real-Time Scoring

At the end of each turn you accumulate victory points for achieving mission objectives. Outpace your foe by a wide enough margin and you can end the game immediately!
