There are a number of
recurring questions which I receive from time to time.

QUESTIONS
Where can I buy Phoenix Command?
Phoenix Command was published by Leading
Edge Games until LEG ceased operations in 1996. This has made
the products, especially the core Small Arms Combat System very
difficult to find. There are three possible sources:
- Used bookstores and used game
stores. Phoenix Command may still be found in some game stores'
inventories, and occasionally, caches of product are sometimes
unearthed in distributor's warehouses.
- Online retailers such as
Amazon's Zshops sometimes carry Phoenix Command.
- Online auctions such as ebay
sometimes have Phoenix Command offered up for sale.
How do I create my own weapons--where can I find
the formulae? How are the weapon data derived?
The original formulae for deriving weapon data
is the intellectual property of the game's designer, Barry Nakazono,
and he has never released them to the public. Some formulae which
approximate the weapons design process have been created, and can be
found in on sites listed in our links section.
What is Phoenix Command?
Phoenix Command is a small arms combat
simulation designed to be used with dice, paper, and/or miniatures.
The Phoenix Command rules use a modular design which allows them to
be inserted into any set of roleplaying game rules, or wargame
rules. Rules exist for Small Arms, Mechanized (Tanks and Vehicles),
Artillery, Hand-to-hand, Special Weapons, Roleplaying, and other
aspects of warfare. Weapons data exists for many weapons, ranging
from medieval to futuristic.

QUESTIONS
Who designed all the stuff on this
page?
The website design and any rules designs
appearing here are created by myself, R.J. Andron unless otherwise stated. I
tend to be quite careful in ensuring that proper credit is given and
if a rules design, scenario, weapon design, or other design was
submitted by another person, then I have placed that person's name
atop the appropriate page.
Can you help me find gun parts, munitions, or
fulfill other, bizarre requests that could have possible dangerous
repercussions in the real world?
Repeat after me...Phoenix Command is a
game. I cannot help you find weapon parts, I do not deal in arms or
munitions, and any unusual (i.e. dangerous) requests are typically
forwarded to the proper authorities for further action.
