All that stood within the Orion sector has gone into darkness. Those that have not fled the sector battle over what little remains, or have simply gone mad at the emptiness around them. Blood spills over the meaningless. In a time where humanity should be united, they are the greatest threat to themselves. And thus, the age of man has ended, left in the ashes of the flames of Orion. All will trudge forward into oblivion in their mechanical tombs. An age of darkness has begun. This is an alpha product. Layout, rules and stats are subject to change.

The sectors named after its sun, Orion. An ancient star that has begun to smolder, quickly casting the sector into darkness & war. Renegades, outlaws, and mercenaries litter the sector. Years have passed, and the planets in this sector sit heavy with shadows and foreboding. You command a combat unit of up to 4 Mechs and fight for what remains here. Players are encouraged to create their own narrative for how they fit into the darkness of Orion. If you're trying to get an idea of the atmosphere; Listening: Liquid drum & bass playing through a blown out speaker while the following plays in the background; Lustmord - Heresy album. William Basinksi - Lamentations Viewing: Dark Souls universe Armored Core Mech Warrior Terminator 2 future earth Pitch BlackFlames of Orion is a dark future miniatures war game where players pilot giant mechanized combat machines. Use any miniatures you deem fit. Alll you need are some dice, a tape measure, 4 miniatures & a2! x 2' or 3! x 3" board to play, Models To play a game each player will need at minimum 4 models, Use any miniatures you like on roughly 28mm-32mm bases. The game is played with 4 Mech models, and potentially more non mech models, such as tanks or small scale infantry. These models will make up your Combat Units. Models we have been using and fit the scale well: Catalyst Battle Tech models Reaper CAV mechs Gardens of Hecate MECHS Battlefield Flames of Orion takes place in desolate and destroyed landscapes on ancient planets, Anything from desert wasteland, to lunar rock, to destroyed and crowded city blocks works best. Battlefields should be anywhere from 2°x2’ to 3°x3” with a good spread of terrain scattered around to fill the board and block lines of sight. There are more rules for terrain which will be discussed later in the book. Dice The game uses mostly d6. But having a set of RPG dice is needed for rolling on random tables. They are also helpful for tracking HEAT and Hull Points. You may also be required to roll things such as: d2, d3, 466. 466 check Roll a d6 for the tens digit, roll another for the ones digit. Measuring Measurements are in inches. Measure from edge of the models base. Activation Tokens When playing; after a model performs actions, place an Activation. token next to them. This could be anything from a bead, a piece of cotton, to anything that makes sense for you. At the end of the turn, when performing a HEAT Check with the model, pickup the token to signify it is ready for the next round. Rule of Cool Sometimes things don't fit exactly into the parameters described here, or rules don't always give a 100% clear explanation in all circumstances. When these situations occur, the best outcome is typically solved by rolling a dice to decide, and simply move on. If something sounds or looks cool, but the rules obstruct things, bend the rules around it. Always be strict with yourself, and lenient with your opponent. NCreate a Combat Unit Your first 4 Mechs are free, they will form your Combat Unit. Each Combat unit begins with 150 Credits to equip them. Buying a new Mech costs 40 Credits. Any extra units you receive through playing games or purchasing are stored in your Bunker, Players can only use 4 Mechs per game, unless otherwise stated. Select 4 models to use. 1. Assign each model a Call Sign. 2. Give your Combat Unit a name. 3. Spend Credits on equipment.MECH CALL SIGN GENERATOR Each Mech requires a designated call sign. Come up with your own, or roll on the table, Roll d66 and consult either chart, using the dice rolls in any order. Roll again and combine the names, Swap the numbers around or use the same number twice. Put the names in whichever order sounds best to you. You may re-roll once, keeping any combination of the names, For extra flair, adding conjunctions, pluralization or numerals can add a nice touch to a name. A. 11. Acolor 21-Iron 31.

Beyond the grasp of true authority, they roam untethered, sculpting their destinies in defiance of the realms of law & man. In Orion, these men of war find purpose amidst the debris of civilizations. The sector, strewn with the remnants of ancient technology, h countless outlaws, exiles and defectors. It is a breeding ground for the black market trade, and vocations where one's survival is sculpted by undertaking the tasks deemed too grim by others. In this realm of shadows and steel, making a livelihood means embracing the darkness”Game Structure A game of Flames of Orion is broken down into Phases and Rounds. Phases - To keep track of turns they are split into three phases. Each of the 3 phases must be performed in the following order. Initiative Phase, Activation Phase and HEAT Phase. After they have been completed, a new round begins, starting at the Initiative Phase. Round - Includes the 3 phases listed below. Once all 3 phases have been completed, a new round begins. itiative Phase You and your opponents) roll off to see who begins the round During this phase, at the start of the game and beginning of each Round, you and your opponent(s) roll off to determine who activates the first 2. Activation Phase Players take turns alternating activation's of their Models to perform Actions. Each model may perform Actions from the list below. Players chose a Model to perform up to 2 Actions. When that player finishes, the next player in initiative order does the same. This continues until all Models have been activated. Ifa player has no models left, the rest of the players continue activating in initiative order until all their Models have activated, 3. HEAT Phase After all Models have finished activating but before moving to the next round, each model on the field must make a HEAT Check as described later in the book and resolve the check before sting the new round. Starting in Initiative order, alternate rolling a d6 and consult the HEAT Chart for each Model, then remove the Mechs Activation Token.ACTIONS You may perform up to 2 Actions per turn. Performing a second Action generates 1 HEAT after it resolves. You may perform actions in any order. A Bolstered Action can be performed once per activation and generates 1 HEAT after it resolves. This is in addition to 1 HEAT gained if you use a second Action, Example: Your Mech Activates and makes a Bolstered Action, it follows up with a second Action. You would generate 2 HEAT for the tum. 1 HEAT for performing a Bolstered Action, 1 HEAT for performing a second Action.

The air crackled with tension as the clashing giants faced off in a desolate arena, the remnants of a once vibrant world now reduced to ghosts. The unknown adversary, obscured by the eerie glow of failing engines, piloted a sleek and nimble mech, its design an enigma - shrouded in the fading remnants of civilization. The two colossal machines locked on, their visages devoid of emotion, vet resonating with the weight of an ancient conflict. As the darkened sun cast its few feeble rays upon the battlefield, the rocket pods erupted in a symphony of fiery chaos, streaking towards the opponent with a relentless barrage. Gun barrels turned red hot, emptying shell after shell, each one wrapped in malice. The enemy responded with swift strides, gracefully dodging the onslaught, a back and forth of shadows and steel in the dying light The clash intensified, the thunderous footsteps of the titans echoing like a heartbeat in the stillness. The pilot, a lone figure in the cockpit, operated the controls with unwavering determination, each movement a testament to the survival instincts forged in the crucible of this horrid realm, In the haunting quiet between salvos, the ‘adversary retaliated, unleashing a torrent of energy beams that cut through the air like spectral hlades. The battlefield became ‘engulfed in destruction, a macabre dance where every step carried the weight of oblivion. The final pod emptied. Smoke exhaled from the vents. In the end, as the dying sun cast its final breath upon the desolate landscape, only Dark Spirit remained, standing amongst the rains as a silent testament to the relentless struggle in this darkened cosmos. The pilot, obscured within the mechanical monolith, gazed ahead into the abyss, knowing that the battle for existence in this forsaken realm had only just begun.”After Action After a game ends and the winners and rewards are destroyed in the game - consult the Casualties & Scar Discoveries. ablished, for each Mech table.
