Description Edit | History

Laserburn is a set of science fiction skirmish rules, with roughly 12 to 20 figures a side. It originated as rules for simulating firefights in science fiction role playing games, but soon grew into a set of stand-alone skirmish rules.

Laserburn uses 15mm scale, the basic rulebook is 40 pages in length. Weapons covered are Lasers, bolters, slug gunes, grenade and missile launchers and conversion beams. Armour include flak, mesh, light, power and dreadnought armor.

A number of supplements and scenarios were published for Laserburn as well.
