Welcome to Battlefleet Gothic, the game of spaceship combat set during the Gothic War in the 41st millennium: a grim time when the Inperium of Mankind battles for survival in a hostile galaxy. Battlefleet Gothic allows you to command fleets of warships in deadly conflict among the stars, though whether as Mankind's saviour or its destroyer remains to be seen. The first section of Battlefleet Gothic details the core rules of the game - the nuts and bolts of how different ships move and fight in space. Later sections cover the history of the Gothic War and how to fight a series of battles as part of an ongoing campaign.
