About the game
The Stars are Divided Mankind reached the stars, and for hundreds of years has lived confident and supreme in the galaxy. Only one alien race was discovered, and that lone example of intelligence was conquered and enslaved. It was that victory, those acts, which sowed the seeds of mankind's greatest threat. On the verge of discovering that man was not supreme in the galaxy, humanity turned upon itself. It was an age of idealism. It was an age of elitism. It was an age when man turned against man, confident in his own superiority. It was an age of ignorance... when man strode too proudly amongst the stars. Included in this book is everything you need to play out the story of the Terran Civil War with the VBAM and Starmada X game systems, including: * Rules to model internal politics for VBAM * Expanded links between VBAM-Starmada abilities * Rules for designing new Starmada weapon systems * Expanded fighter design rules * New ground force design rules * New scouting options * New planetary facilities * Enhanced Starmada-VBAM scenario/setup rules * Expanded elite officer and crew rules * 27 Starmada ship designs * Complete orders of battle for "historical" play * In depth campaign setting and background * "Historical" scenarios for Starmada play * 50+ star systems, based loosely on real stellar cartography THIS IS NOT A STAND ALONE PRODUCT AND REQUIRES THE Victory by Any Means: Campaign Guide(VBM-101) AND Victory by Any Means: The Starmada Edition (MJG-0113) TO FULLY USE. OWNERSHIP OF THE Victory by Any Means: Campaign Moderator's Companion (VBM-105) IS RECOMMENDED.

Questions and answers
Stars Divided: Terran Civil War supports 2–6 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 catalogue lists Stars Divided: Terran Civil War 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.
Stars Divided: Terran Civil War belongs to these categories: Wargame, Miniatures, and Science Fiction. Its main mechanics are Paper-and-Pencil. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Stars Divided: Terran Civil War are: Noel Weer. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Stars Divided: Terran Civil War as an expansion for Victory by Any Means: Campaign Guide. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Victory by Any Means: Campaign Guide to use it. Check that your edition of Victory by Any Means: Campaign Guide is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
