description Firefight Overview
Firefight is a science-fiction tabletop miniatures game published by Mantic Games and set within the wider Warpath universe.

The game is intended for players who want a competitive science-fiction wargame with firearms, vehicles, and massed units rather than a small character-driven skirmish.
help Firefight FAQ
What scale is Firefight meant to represent?
Firefight is a 28 mm, squad-focused science-fiction miniatures game from Mantic Games. It zooms in on individual soldiers and smaller conflicts within the wider Warpath universe. [Source](https://www.manticgames.com/warpath/books-warpath/warpath-firefight/)
How is Firefight related to Warpath?
It uses the Warpath miniatures range and shares core mechanics with Mantic's larger science-fiction setting, but its battles focus on squads and individual units. That makes it a closer-in game than a mass battle fought at the full Warpath scale.
What dice does Firefight use?
The second-edition beta rules use eight-sided dice, or D8s, for tests such as shooting. Mantic's official rule material also emphasizes terrain and unit-level decisions, so cover and positioning matter.

Can I customize leaders in Firefight?
Yes, the rulebook includes customizable equipment for unit leaders, and the game is built around strike forces rather than anonymous counters. You can distinguish a squad's key models while playing factions from the Warpath universe.
