Fallout: Battle for Boston is a tabletop starter set

Fallout: Factions — Battle for Boston is a tabletop miniatures starter set from Modiphius. Our earlier article incorrectly described it as a Bethesda video-game spin-off built with the Creation Engine. The actual product is for playing battles with physical miniatures, rather than downloading a new Fallout campaign.

Choose the correct Fallout: Factions product

Modiphius lists a Battle for Boston starter set alongside bundles and a separate rulebook PDF. Those listings serve different needs. If you are starting from scratch, compare the starter set’s contents with what is included in a larger bundle. If you already own miniatures, check the rules and components you still need. A digital rulebook purchase should not be mistaken for either a physical box or a computer game.

Plan for a tabletop session

The starter-set listing specifies two players and miniatures requiring assembly. Before ordering, read the current contents list and identify any tools or supplies you will need separately. Check the rulebook language and the space available for play, then compare the total delivered price for your destination. Photos of painted miniatures should not replace the written description of what arrives in the box. None of these product details confirms a new Fallout release on PC, PlayStation or Xbox; the previous platform and engine claims are withdrawn.
