STAR EAGLES by Ganesha Games

Created by Ganesha Games

Star Eagles is a science fiction action game of futuristic space fighter combat that allows you to play out the battles from your favorite books, movies, and TV shows. In a standard game, each player controls a squadron of 4-12 ships competing in exciting, objective-based missions in space, on moons, and in the atmosphere of planets. The game is easy to learn, yet tactically rich with many options that provide variety without bogging down the pace. Players build their squadron from a variety of small craft ranging from nimble, yet fragile, light fighters all the way up to larger gunboats and corvettes. Although Star Eagles may be used to play one-off missions, the game is intended to be played as a campaign where your pilots gain experience and you manage your squadron's resources over a series of linked scenarios.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Star Eagles short story by Davide Mana
almost 7 years ago – Tue, Feb 06, 2018 at 03:58:00 PM

Hi backers,

Author Davide Mana (who wrote the fiction snippets for the Star Eagles rulebook) has written a short story set in the Star Eagles universe.

By following this link, it is possible to purchase the ebook with a backers-only price of $0.99 (regular price will be $1.99).

Check it out!

On other news, in a couple of days Damon should manage to send in the final tweaks to the rules so we will have the PDF available soon after that. The PDF will still miss a few pictures (Damon is painting some of the new ships to take better photos) but will be 100% playable. We will then share the PDF again when the book goes to print.

Thanks,

Andrea

Production masters: Resin
almost 7 years ago – Sat, Jan 20, 2018 at 02:09:04 PM

Hi backers,

Damon sent me these pics of the master models he just received. These are resin production masters that have been sent to Alternative Armies for actual production, and include ships not seen before:

 

 

 

 

 

 Regarding the rules: Damon needs another full 8 hours to go through the rulebook again, and he thinks he will manage to do so in the next four days. So after that, he'll send it to me (Andrea) so I can add the missing parts (that will take me one day) and do a last check of the layout and fire it off to our proofreader.

We will have another update Monday or Tuesday, but for the moment I'll be signing off.

Thanks

Andrea

Production masters: Ordnance
almost 7 years ago – Thu, Jan 18, 2018 at 02:26:30 PM

Hello backers,

sorry for the long silence. Damon has just received a lot of resin and metal masters, and needs one more day to take decent pictures of them. Meanwhile, here's a picture of the metal ordnance production masters. They are tiny, but came out really well, with all the small details intact. These are the masters that are used to make molds and cast the final product.

 Tomorrow Damon will post more pictures of the resin masters and give a more detailed update on the production schedule.

Thanks,

Andrea

Update: PDF
almost 7 years ago – Sat, Dec 09, 2017 at 12:11:59 PM

Hi backers,

time for another update.

I am doing the final tweaks on the layout and small language edits/proofreading. I am attaching a few sample pages. We removed the dark background boxes that some people didn't like and justified the text as suggested.

Unfortunately, I can't give you a final date for the PDF yet. Damon's mother has been hit by a car and she in hospital in serious conditions. Damon had to fly to the US (he normally resides in Malaysia where he works) to take care of her. Until the situation clears and he has some time to finish revising the ship stats and send me other materials, the book won't be in its 100% final form, but I'll do my best to get the "almost final" PDF to you ASAP, so you can start playing.

 

 

 

On a more positive note, author Davide Mana fell in love with the setting and will be writing an official Star Eagles short story. More news as soon as I have info.

Thanks for your patience

Andrea
