	Description Edit \| History

It Seemed Like a Simple Mission...

Join the UN Colonial Marine Corps in this exciting solitaire game from FMG! Take command of a team of 12 heavily armed Marines as they board a crippled lab ship in a decaying orbit. Rescue the surviving crew, but beware of malevolent alien intruders, escaped lab animals, berserk robots and a sabotaged defense system. Work fast - the controls are smashed and the ship is plummeting towards a fiery end in the atmosphere below. The action is exciting and unpredictable from the minute you dock until the last shuttle blasts out!

Can you make it back alive from the Last Frontier?

Surprise Flow Process

I tried to create a help aid for the surprise element in the game. This is not a flowchart more of a flow process. I want to thank GaryP for his suggestions and changes of the original file I was going to submit - his rendition is much better. If anyone would like the original VSD files email and I will send them to you; BGG admins denied my original submission of VSD files so I converted them to PDF files and the conversion is less clear to me.

Last Frontier Errata, the Director's Cut

The complete 1994 "web version' of the LF:tVI errata, portion-marked by one of the original designers with indicators as to why it was redacted or rewritten for later versions.

Last Frontier Errata PDF

This is the final version of the errata sheet, included in every game during the last assembly run in 1998. For obvious reasons, Fat Messiah Games awards all BGG users unlimited reproduction rights.
