Rules Differences
Changes in GFF vs. the base GF game Reduced points for the game (for instance 300 points for a full match vs. 2000 in GF) Smaller Battlefield (4'x4' vs 6'x4' in GF) Smaller coherency distance for units (6" vs 9" in GF) Wounds work differently (not necessarily direct removal of models for each hit) Morale is checked at the end of the whole Round (instead of activations as in GF) Some Special Rules are not present (like Aircraft, Entrenched, Sniper or Transport), some are adjusted (like Blast or Hero) Rules for leaping, pushing and falling.
