The Playtest Rules are from a very early version of the game, which features two arena-ready teams. You can dive in with the Les Grognards or the Raumjager to begin with...

There are also generic faction templates included so you can be creative and take any of the Death Fields range and tweak them to suit your initial games. More factions, abilities, traits and equipment are going to be added based on community requests.

Death Fields itself is all about small teams of miniatures battling it out in the arena. Your team members are all vital members of your squad and are designed to have a big impact on the game. This all comes together with the Combat Effectiveness mechanics (CE), which fluctuate during the game as your soldiers succeed and fail, get shot and land devastating hits. This then flows into the Activation Phase, as the experience unfolds, making each decision key.

If this has you intrigued, you can check out both an introduction to Death Fields Arena and a full Battle Report.
