Dreadfleet

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Dreadfleet is a limited edition game from Games Workshop, released on 1 October 2011 and set within the Warhammer Fantasy universe. It is described as a cooperative game that at least two players can play, up to a maximum of ten players. The contest is between two forces. One side is the Grand Alliance, which is composed of the greatest pirate captains of the setting, and the other is the Dread Fleet, a force of undead or daemon-aligned captains and their skeleton crews. Players take command of these captains, so the game puts a pirate fleet against an accursed one in a shared Warhammer Fantasy setting. The lead of the source article is brief and gives no further detail on the rules, components or reception, so this entry records only what that lead supports.
