Fields of Fire is a solitaire game of commanding a rifle company between World War II and Present Day. The game is different from many tactical games in that it is diceless and card based. There are two decks used to play. The Terrain Deck is based on a specific region and is used to build a map for the various missions your company must perform. The Action deck serves many purposes in controlling combat, command and control, various activity attempts. The units of the company are counters representing headquarters elements, squads, weapons teams, forward observers, individual vehicles or helicopters. A single game is a mission and several missions from a historical campaign are strung together for the player to manage experience and replacements. A mission can be played in about 1 – 4 hours.
This game is based on three actual campaigns experienced by units of the 9th US Infantry (Regiment) in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. “Keep Up the Fire” is the motto of the 9th Infantry (Regiment), known as the “Manchus” for their service in the Boxer Rebellion.
A slice of paper with the turn secuence summary (for defensive and offensive/patrol missions). I use it moving the "current activity" counter from square to square. And i record the # turn putting a counter in a cup (but be creative, please)
This file is a evolution of the Chris Dorrell's "FoF Turn Summary Record Sheet". i found this sheet indispensable, but i want to save paper. Thanks to him.
i hope you found it usefull.
This is an export from my Terrain Tiles for FOF SVG document (http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/75659/normandy-terrain-tiles-for-fields-of-fire). Each tile is exported as an individual image. To print, load them into your favourite drawing/image editing program, arrange them and print on photo paper.
Based on the updated Terrain Tiles (V1.1)
This is a set of terrain tiles that can replace the original cards for the Normandy campaign. They are (more or less) geomorphic, that is they fit nicely together and allow you to create big, connected Normandy landscapes.
V1.1 update
This slightly updated version fixes a speling msitake (thanks to Grotius) and includes a new 'map legend' tile (not for play). Included is the SVG only, useful if you want to change stuff. Exported tiles for print'n'play can be found as a separate file here.
All rules indexed by key words. All rules references from the unofficial rules reorganised (great work !) or, exceptionnally, from the new officials rules 2.0.
