Big update from the rustcore frontlines—

Lewis R. K. has been deep in the field with fellow indie devs, fans, and attendees alike, dissecting and refining the rules of Ferrous. After hands-on play sessions, multiple events attended in Thailand, and a ton of thoughtful feedback, we're nearly ready to drop Alpha v5 of the official rulebook!

At the moment, the game still lives as a boardgame at heart—but the vision? Is to evolve it into a full-on wargame. Tactical. Elaborate. Clear.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s changing in Alpha v5:

šŸ”« Ammo Rule Overhaul – cleaner, and way more dynamic

šŸ“– Better Documentation – no more guesswork

šŸŽÆ Back Attack Rule, Refined – precision matters

šŸŽÆ Objective-Based Play – with game modes and reinforcements!

šŸ’„ Heavy Autocannon Rebalance – for the fifth time... we’re serious this time šŸ˜…

Alpha v3 is still supported in the video game's settings which we intend to expose to player interaction in the coming months, and v4 is the current standard—but v5 is shaping up to be the most streamlined, tactical version yet.

Stay tuned—more details (and a downloadable PDF) coming soon. – The Ferrous Team
