Fleet Commander: Avatar is an expansion for Fleet Commander: 1 – Ignition released in 2016 for 2–4 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Pierre Steenebruggen and Didier Dincher and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Dice Rolling, and Grid Movement.
Fleet Commander: Avatar As the conflict between the "League of Phoebe" and the "Hegemony of Amycles" intensified, great leaders emerged to impose their views of warfare. Some of them earned their leadership by their zeal, their determination, or their ingenuity -- while others simply took power from their defeated opponents. However, one thing nobody dares to contest, is that each of them has their own distinct advantage to lead these huge fleets to victory. Avatar is an expansion for ''Fleet Commander: Genesis'' that will allow players to add to their fleet the heavy battleships and commanders which give bonuses during any battle. It also contains new terrain tiles and special weapons.
Fleet Commander: Avatar supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Fleet Commander: Avatar is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Fleet Commander: Avatar for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Fleet Commander: Avatar has a complexity rating of 3.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.

The catalogue lists Fleet Commander: Avatar as an expansion for Fleet Commander: 1 – Ignition.
