Welcome to Europa
The Fates  is a fast-paced, epic-scale mass-combat miniatures game for two or more persons.  Players command large armies across the battlefields of Europa.

Rationale
The gist of The Fates is simple.  Our local gaming community needed a quick, flexible set of miniatures rules that would be cheap and easy to grasp for the new-comer while still providing enough nuance and flavor for years of play by veteran gamers.  Also we needed something that we could control the evolution of - a game that didn't leave us at the mercy of company X or Y. 

The Fates as is a skeleton on which each individual player can hang as much detail as they wish in the form of flavor text.  While the rules reflect human armies of identical capabilities, distinctions between your force and your opponents' will emerge based on each individual's tactics and style of play.  How else could your Space Bugs  be a match for your opponent's Zombie Hordes  or Hittite Army?

For the sake of brevity, the rules assume certain introductory concepts are already understood.  Thus, without a gamer's help, the learning curve for The Fates  will be a little steeper for the newbie.

Components
In order to play The Fates, you will need unique unit markers, terrain, a ruler, and some six-sided dice.

Rulebook
The Rules are constantly evolving in this little war game.  I keep a copy of the current revision right here.  This small file features the basic rules (1 sheet) and the most popular addenda.  Download it, print it, copy it, change it.  I do not care.  I simply hope you enjoy them.  Cheers!
