D¥STOPIAN BLITZKRIEG The world of Dystopian Wars is one that is similar to our own but subtly different. The year is 1870 and the Industrial Revolution has occurred

, ,*, decades earlier than in our own world. Technology is far advanced, and

I~. ' in many ~ases unrecognisable, which has led to the development of • fantastic Nav.al vessels, hulking Land Ships and terror from the skies in .. th ~ form of Airships and War Balloons.

Dystopian Wars is a game that is designed around having fun ' with a selection of mocels in a couple of hours. We are big fans o.f Steampunk and Victorian-a, so we jumped at the chance of creating a game of combined arms along similar lines to our Uncharted Seas ami Firestorm Armada games - but encapsulating the aforementioned ge nr.es , Dystopian Wars therefore incorporates naval, aerial and land models from the outset,so that you can set up battles and scenarios

':(ri any combat setting.

We supply resin and metal miniatures with which you can roam the high seas, scou r' the smog filled skies of Dystopian Wars for enemy

I flying s~ip s, or .doggedly defe~d the .cities and col:lntryside of your

home nation. These three combat arms use the s?me core ! ulesJor movement and combat, with varying abilities and statistics.

- .. ~

At the ,back of the b,ook are .c.olourful tokens tnat make, recording damage and special effects easy. The rules are o,ptiruisedJpr large fleet actions, so that you can get as many m[niatures ,or;Jthe table as you want and still get· an enjoyable game in an evening. Dystopian Wars is also ideal for multiplayer games, as yo·u get to activate individual squadrons of miniatures from one player. to the next.

The rules allow forthe optional use of a deck of 52 Game.Cards that add an exciting element of tactics to each game .. They,improve the overal l game play and 'inject some add itional eccentric Victorian atmosphere, but you can play without them if you wish . .

~ , If Y0U go to our website :- www.spart~ngames.co.]-k - you can see our superb range ef models for Dystopian Wars .. Everything else you • will n'eed can be found inside this rule book and permissiof:\ i ~ given to " photocopy 'and use the tokens and templates, 'hCJ1: please remember , that t he copyright always remains with Spartan Ga~es.

. . .

HOW YOU PLAY You will need a tape measure and lots of six. sided dice (06) to play Dystopian Wars, probably 25 to 30 in total. You will also need one eight sided die (08), and o~casionally you will need to rol l a 02 or 03. To roll a D2.or 03 you use a six sicr~d · die. If you roll a 02, a 1, 2 or 3 counts as a 1, ,and a 4,5 or. 6 counts asif2. If. you ro ll a 03, a 1 or 2 c,?unts as a 1, a 3 or 4 count's as a'2, and a? or 6 counts as a 3,

Most, of the time ' however you wil l be rolling a number of dice and counting the numbe~ of hits that you score. Once you: have worked out how many 06 ~ow get t,?_ use, you ~oU t'hem.and con~ u l t th~ To Hit table below: ' .

• add' l:!Ip the number 'orbits; the T ore' hits·you 'get,.the 'mqre successfu l you are, This exploding dice mechanjc is'a core element of Dystopian Wars. It varie s~only in. that some rules will modify. whicb numbers score,.' I

a' hit~ and, other rules will reduce the number of dice that you roll. Some r'ules might ada +1 or +2 to a die roll; in this "case a modified roll of'G would only score 1 hi!, and you !lO NOT get an extra dice' roll. '

Some r~les will gLve different To Hit numbers, like a 4, 5 and 6 as,opposed to just a 6 - this is most'common with ,combat rolls. Where the To Hit numbe'r.s _conflict with each otner, . use th~ 'set that makes it more difficult ,to score a hit . In other words use the worse set of numbers, wh ich if'} the example ab~ve '''Yquld be a,& (instead of 4, 5 or 6).

This section defines the statistics of models, which are referred to as ability ratings or more often just ratings : They are used to determine what an indivi'dual model is capable of. Higher ratings indicate a more powerful" model: so Dreadnoughts lenc\. to have the best ratings for n'aval models and Aeroplanes usually have the weakest ratings for flying m~dels,

"-In general the number given for a rating determines how many six sided dice you roll to resolve an attack or a defensive m~asure. The catego ries below give an.explanation of how a rating is use~:

ACK ACK (AA) When 9 model is attacked with Rockets, or by a-flying model, or is boarded, you roJra number of 06 equal to the Ack Ack of the model. This determ ines how effective the model is at deterring or 'eliminating· the attack using r<!pid fire $mall calibre weaponry that targets such 9ttac~s. A model can also use Ack Ack against f1y'ing-models within 8" during its ac:tivqtion. '

ASSAULT POINTS (AP) • 'This rating is a measure. _oJ either how many soldiers are on board a

'0 model, or how dangerous a Creature or Robot is in a Boarding Assault. , A Creature or RODot performs an assault when it is in base contact,

but a crewed model C~1n do so within a range of 4", as the soldiers are • •• assumed to be equipped'with rocket packs. .

, Generator is typically some kind of ,Energy Shield or Energy Weapon, which usually Aas its own special rules. . '

G U NNERY ATTACKS These include different types of primary and secondary weapons on' a -model, including Broadsides, Fixed Channel .Guns, Batteries with a 90, 180, 270 or 360 degree arc ana Turrets., Their attacks are re:solved sligHtly differently to Rocket, Torpedo,. Bomb and Mine weapons.

TURN LIMIT

Meet Chaplain Josiah 'Hookey'

Montague Smyth, veteran of many

a campaign, and one ofthe

most memorable characters in the Britannian Army.

A game.can last anything from half an hour with a couple of Squadrons to a long afternoon if you put lots of mosJels on the table. A game can last until all of the models in one fleet have been destroyed, or until one player decides to capitulate . You could 'also define a number of turns, a flme limit or perhaps a scenario objective that marks the end of thEt game, at which time you calculate Victory Points to determine who is victorious.

Dystopian Wars uses a simple turn based system with each turn broken down into different phases. These phases are as follows : Play 'Turn' Game Cards, Determine Initiative, Resolve Movement and Combaf alternately by Squadron, and then the End Phase. During the Movement and Combat phase more Game Cards can be played to

' eii h ~ r aid a player or hinder an opponent.

$0 ju~t to recap, the sequence of play is as follows:

1.) Pl'ay Turn 'T' Cards 2) Roll i D6 for Initiative 3) Movement and Combat 4) End Phase

In Phase~l e-ach player can use a Turn card to affect the rest oftbe turn

. 1 x Battleship (counts as a 1 model 'Squadron) 3 x Cruisers (is.a 1 x 3 model Squadron) 9 x Frigat~s (splh into 3 x 3 mode,l·Squadronsj 2 x ~'on:ber Mo"dels 10 x Tiny Aircr!lft Tokens

The Battle Group is a good basis on which to start a collection of models for Dystopian Wars.-You can have a good game with a single boxed set, or expand your Battle Group to 1:,500 points or higher; which is roughly the equivalent of two Rattle Groups and a few extra models, There are, three ways to build your fleets for Dystopian Wars, which are outlined below. " •

If you play an open'game there ar'e no·restrictions on what models you · use, you just pick a point value, say.SOO, assemble models to this value and roll some dice. You can use whatever models yo;]' want -. so as lon'~ as the players agree to the f.ormat they can do whatever pleases them.

... If you play a friendly game you pick a pbint value.and your fleet MUST contain at least 1 Squadron of models in the Small size alass, at least 1

. Squadro~ in the Medium size class and at-least 1 Squadron in"t'he Large size class, but you can o! herWiSe fielcj whatever,models you like.

(if they have one) . If you' do no} use the Game Cards ignore t.his phas~ . :. If you play a tournament game your fleet MUST contain the same These ca r-ds affect this.turn and unless the card states otherwise the minimums ClS with a friendly gOl7Je. In addition up to 70% of,your poi nts effect 0f.the card ~ill end when the turn ends. can .be spent on models in the Large size class, but no more than 70% of

, your .points can be spent on.. mogels in tne Massive size class, no more In Phase' Z the players roll 2D6 for Initiative to see in what order they than 70% of your. 'p'oiots can be spent-on mo.dels in the Medium size cao activ.ate their Squa'drc:ins (of one or more models or tokens) . It do'es - class, 'a'nd no mo~e tllan'40%of your polnts cern be spent on models in not matter whether a- model is a Ship, Tank, Aeroplane or Creature, the Small size class. The amount of ;"odeJs or tokens in the Tiny size they a ~e all organised into ~quadron~ i-n this game. • clas's" is -essentially determined by the' models t hat you field - models

In Ph~se 3.the players take turns activating one Squadron at a time in < ~rder of·lnitia~ve , until' the Movement and Combat of ALL Squadrons

• has~l)ee;;: resolved .. AS' the game progresses it is possible that one f'>la'y~'r wJil -end up having mere Squadrons on the table than the other player. As"and when this occurs, the player simply keeps activating hisl her 'a~n 'SqlJadrons until everything has been activated.

'*" ~ _ • 10

In P~ase 4. the Movement.of te'rrain; (if applicable) is resolved, but it cian also be viewed as a 'cle:an up' phase when you combine damage tokens, draw new Game Cards and prepare for the next turn .

~~ The iniB~j ~phase of the game saw a number ot boxed sets for each _q. ,~ w A " ~

J;. faqi<an 'arrive; th~se .are wh~t wej;all Battle Groups. The first Battle . .,. Groups. are focused on oaval . r;nodels, but these will be followed by •

Dystopian Wars focuses on all three arms of combat - naval, aerial and land - so depending upon the type of game you are playing it is impor~ant to lay terrain that allows two or more players to bring fleets to the table t hat are, different in ~oth composition and function. So

, _ long as ships still have plenty of room to manoeuvre on the sea, you • can't gO Wro·ng. You do not have to play all kinds of forces in the game,

but it do:es allow for exciting ga.mes when you mix all three.

It is important therefore that your choice of game should be driven by agreement between the players, as to whether you p"lay a game that emphasises one "type" of battle or a conflict of mixed forces.

Imagine a gaming table with an invasion fleet steaming towards the ~nemy sh.ores, I<lefensive gun emplacements firing at them as they do, holdingj:he.enemy back while their own ships arrive. Meanwhile airships attack fro·ln. another table edge, squadrons of fighters lauhching from airstrips to intercept them. And secretly from the back of the board squadr'ons of Land Ships move towards the emplacements, aiming to destroy'them before they damage the naval-based invasion ships.

.oUlf K iDEA: .Wheo you set up a game divide the table up into four ~uarfers and deploy one piece of terrain into each quarter. The terrain, 'is deployed by' the player whose deployment area is in that quarter.­Terrain is generally defined as islands or landmasses; a land,mass is any aref 6f land that exceeds 8" in size and borders a table edge.

It is up to you what type of terrain to use, but the simplest are islands (on the ocean) and hills (on the land), which should generally. be 4 t~ 8" in length and width (to all()w for easy movement-between theml: "

This is just a quick way to set up a game. You can a~ree to place' more'!:;. :: ~ .. terrain if YO l,l wish, and in many cases the owner of the table may' well , layout a battlefield before the other players arrive·ar.ld set it up with aesthetics in mind more so than str~tegic advantage.

After de,ployilJg terrain each player rolls 2D.~. The player who:gl?j:;; b~~ . highest roll deploys one Squadron in their deployment area, and Wen ' the player with the next highest roll deploys one Squadron ana s6 on: This includes the deploym~nt of Squadrons of Tiny token s separately from their carriers.

, . There are a myria"d of ways you can set a gaming table' up a'nd a great number of ways you can play Dystopian Wars. Y0l;l can play Naval vs. Naval, Ground vs. Ground, Air vs .• Air, or any combinatioQ of the t~ree ,

You could even play a game uSing ALL three types of medels, maybe even on separate tables, with each , table given different objective , parameters, as de~ned 'by a scenario .or campaigh.; The, ou.tcoTe ToL~ lri • one table could have an -impact on a different tatolle, such as the mUGi'I .;. tc" ~ needed artillery not showing up, or th ~ ai r,sl.lpport yoq had counted 6n • : .. <::

the c~re rules. for Dystopian Wars can be quickly and easily augmented with ~ a separately available deck of 52 Game Cards. These cards are

MUHIRlAYER GAMES In games where-m9[e than two players- are involvec;l V:ou may ONLY play cards to ben~fit your own models and hinder rhe enemy's models. y~u may, not pl iilyc ilfas o~ your allies unlessth'E?c;;ard sp~cifically allows yo.uto do so.

. Example 3: lan-eoula nor :Ioan' his Jolly Good Shot! ca rd to his ally Adam. BofhJ!llayers c~uld play a m carg, but any effects of those cardS:· -could only be,played on.their own models (ex€ept,for events that affect the- terrain or nave ablan~et effect on fhe-d ble,).even if tAey' have the same-faction. '" • -**'lC,_~

If disPlltes' arise ab0ut who plays cards in what order or how. their effects ,are applied, then ygu' should play and resolve ea[ds in the current turn's initiative. order, ..

NOTE: This i ~ ~ Is~ true with regard to St~rginh'Jf11 liilreS. If more than one player is affected by a card, each player can only't ryto counter the effects'on their ,9wn fleet. " ,

WHO GOES FIRST? To determine wh ich side moves first wh~n two or more players are al l fighting each other, each player ro lls 206, wit h the player t hat ro lls the

, higtJest number going fi rst . The players resolve initiative in sequence 'r. of the dice results, with the highest going 1st, next highest 2nd, next

highest 3rd and so on.

Should any players ro lls tie, keep rolling unti l one person has the highest roll and a clear sequence of play has been identified from one ' player to the next. You must determine initiative at the start of eactJ turn a~g then alterhate the movement of Squadrons.

ACTIVATION Once initiative has been decided it is time to move the fl eets. This is done by 'moving ONE Squadron of models at a time, with players taking

, tllrns <!oing this action. Whi le a Squadron is active a player MUST, ' perform. ALL actions w ith the models in it, w hether it is movement, combat and/or board ing.

" When this has heen comp leted the op.p~sing player gets to activate a Squadron and resolve all actions with it, after whtch contro l passes to the other playe·r. Th'is is done unti l ALL Squadrons have been activated, whether they resolved any actions or not. This sequence applies to all 'players,rotating aroun~ during larger multi -player games.

If you have tiNo sides with more than one player on each side you can speed up play with this optional ru le. Once you have determined initiative for ea~h side, .every player on each side can activate a .:

OUTSIDE COMMAND DISTANCE Most Squadrons have a Command Dista~c~ (CD) of 6" and ca ~ operate norma lly while the" are with in 6" .of each other: It is recommended that every model within a SquadtoQ should remain with in CD of another model in1he same Squadron.

If t he models in a Squadron are not with in CD of each.other at the start of their activation t hey are counted as being split. When models in ;;: Squadron are split, choose part ofthe Squadron to be the com~anded element.

When you activate a split Squadron resolve .the. movement of , the commanded element first, and resolve the movement of t he remainder of the Squadron separately. Then resolve t~e 'firing and/or ' boarding of t he commanded element first, fo llowing by the firing of the remainder of the Squadron. ~ "

A S'quadron CAN be split more than once, but only ONE group of . models selected by the player can be the commanded element ': A commanded element can be any p'art of the Squadron, so long as the models within it are within CD of each other ' A commanded eleme~t does not have to be tne largest group of models in the Squadron ' A commanded ,element CAN be a single model Any model that is split off and outside the CD at the' start of its activation has to make a Command Te?t {'explained in the next ctiap~er) ,

The Break Tests are reso lved AFTER the Gyros have resolved their activation~ The Gyr~s reso lve one Break Test for losing a model in ,the Squ<,ld ron, and. the Tanks make one Break Test for losing two m~dels in' their SEJuadron.

Example 2: A SEJuadrQn of S Frigates has separated, group 1 (of two Frigates) is the commanded element and group 2 '(of tliree Frigates) counts as being split off. One of the Cruisers in g oup 2 is captured, the;refore the remaining spli( offFrigates each make ori'e Break Test an'tl the commanded eleme'1t makes one Break Test.

It isn't always enemy models that are accidentally collided with. It is common for friendly models to collide with each other. If this occurs note that no matter which part of the model hits, it is always counted as a collision and NOT'a r.arY!.

Example 4: A Cruiser has nowhere to move to and collides with . . another Cruiser in its own Squadron. It only has 2 HP remaining, but still rolls 406 (equal to its'starting HP) . The other Cruiser also rolls 406, th.e collision damage is resolved at the same time, but before any firing is resolved (if apP.l icable).

COLLIDING W ITH TERRAIN . The"re will be times when models will ram or collide with terrain, II'Iihether ifisrnan-made or natural. It does not matter whether a model rams or: collides with terrain, it rolls a number of 06 against itself d~termined by the type of terrain that is ~ammed 'or co!lided with .

_ Terrain is divided up into one of these three categories:

Soft (River, Swamp, Sand Bar) 406 Crynchy (Wdods: Reef} 806

: ttard(M0uRtain) 1206

<.

;.:Yqu can easily modify these num.bers to match your own gClmes either by increasing or decreasing the damage that is dished out. Diffecent scenarios' may.bring with them their own special rules.

DISENGAGING AFTER A RAM/COLLISION There will be situations where a surface model starts its activation in contact with another model or terra(n in a su'bsequent Turn after it was involved in a ram or collision'. Its'options for disengaging are explained

. b~low: . . '/

If a model sta rts an activation with its prow (or front corner for sO.me models) in' contact with another model it can turn by the very minimun: so that it can move away from the model/terrain

• in tl:le next Tum • If a model starts an activation with any other part of its hull in contact with another model it can move normall'y without

. • incurrlng :ano.ther collision with that model ; •• =.; .... ; .;. A -model/token with 360 degree movement ttiat has been ~!f:X · -::: . involl(ed in a ram or collision can rotate up tp 360 degrees instead .. ~~-~ . . .

. • :.,,:, • of 1J10vlng . .". ,J." .... -"".

If a model somehow manages to turn round so that it performs a .new, ram/collision with the same model, you resolve the new ram/collision norma}ly

, In all of the cases above, the,model can use the rules for moving backwards: iRstead- • -In_ail. of the cases above, the model can fire and/or board normally sub}e~t t o the ,rules·for any subsequent ram or collision

., " """ '*:.' "

LAND/NAVAL MODELS • Similarly a 'subm~rged token that is activated after' a. film can

move through (over/under) the other token involved inthe ram' • A submerged model can choose to move tlirough anotner model

in an activation followinga ram ~:

• A model in the Large or Massive.class size can rotate ,up to 180 • degree' instead of using the disengaging rules .

AERIAL MODELS • .If a flying model is involved in a ra~ it can move through. (over/

under) the model it was involved in the ram with, in its fo llowing activation A flying model can choose to move thr~ugh another model in an activation following a ram ' You CANNOT place a flying model (including the fl ight stand) on top of another model (and vice versa) at the 'end of its move '

• If it is impossible to avoi.d this situation, the model that is moving MUST·move clear of the other model(s) and gains the minimum additional movement necessary ;rh is movement' ignores the turn limit of the model, so that it f an effectively 'shimmy' into a gap, . ,

Example 5: An Airship has a Squadror?' of Cruisers in front of it, and its maximum movem.ent will not get it clear of thOse cruisers l.tg where it wants to move to. T~e Air.ship has MV 8, and after moving 8" the flight stand would still sit on, a' Cruiser, so the Airship get!> 2" of extra movement to mQve off the ·Cruiser. .

IMPq~TANT NOTE: These rules apply eqwally to surface -models that end their movement under a flying model. More importantly, i f a model can make a legal move without ending its move on top of another model it should do so. Remember -that tokens are treated differently in this instance, and are simply moved aside.

lrERRAIN t 'Th ~ eff~cts ofterrain vary depending on whether a model is naval, aerial "o{ land b~sed.~ If a ~naval model nio~es into 'terrain ·it usually resolves a~ c~lIision. Th~ excepti~n is ~here terrain includes (or comprises) a clock or oil rig far ex~~ruple.

REEFS A Reef is a. hidden danger, and c~ n be ten yards or merely a- few feet below the surface. It is a threat to Battleships more than Frigates because Battleships are more likely to collide with a Reef when they pass over it, but no matter what size the model, if it collides with part · of the Reef it can often lead to disaster.

stand) that is firing to the closest point of the model that is fired at (or from ·the centre of the Turret that is firing). Use the same bullet points that, are given for the Broadside arc to determine whether a model gets HALF or FULL dice when firing.

360 DEGREE ARCS A 360 Degree Arc is usually a turret and can fire at most targets that ·are not blocked by terrain or other models. The line of sight from a 360 'Degree Arc is determined by drawing a line from the centre of the arc (or t-urret) to any point on t~e target.

NOTE: All distances to determine the Range Band for 360 Degree Arc. ~. w~a:pons are measured from the closest point of the model (or flight

PARTIALLY BLOCKED TARGETS An area of potential confusibn involves calculating the AD when a 'model or terrain ~ge(s in the way of an attack. The rules for Fixed

Channel weapons and pa~tially blocked targets are explained earlier .

• '\iYprki'ng Qut if a mqdel or terrain is impacting your firing depends on -.-. ~. ' the' firing arc an9 its line .of sight. So to reiterate, the Broadside line

of sight is measured from the centre of the firing model, the Fixed cha.nnel li'1e of sight is measured from the closest point of the firing

• model and most ether. line cif sight is measured from a point specified bfth~e FIG (usu~'lIy a lUJret' mount).

..... "'''''''

.If .t,he line can cross the centre of the target WITHOUT crossing :a'notber, model or terrain AND the line can cross either the prow ' or stem ofthe target, the model can fire with its FULL AD and gets

• hits ol'\-a' 4, 5 or 6 .

If: tI;Je lirt~ can cmss the centre of the target WITHOUT crossing an.other model or terrain, BUT the line cannot cross the prow and the stern of the target, the model can still fire. with its FULL AD but only gets,hits on a 5 or 6 However; if theJine CANNOT cross the centre, but can be drawn

You DO NOT reduce the AD by half in the event of a target being partially blocked by an iritervening model or terrain AND half again if it is also partially outside of the arc of fire. Any other modifiers to the AD would apply. normally, incluging Linked ·Fire (explained in the Combat chapter) and Game Card eJfects.

FLIGHT STANDS The flight stands for Dystopian Wars wiU have the. arcs Of fire etched on the flight stand, so that you can m~asure a Broadside Ar~ or Fixed Channel clearly. In most cases ~he fligh·t stand will simp'ly be :etc~e.d

with a cross over the center spot, but larger flight stands will have mor~ detailed information on them. Turret arcs of course are still measured from the centre of the turret in most cases.

WORKING OUT YOUR ATTACK DICE Gunnery Attacks are the most common ranged weapons availa ble to

- t the commander of a mod~1. All mod~ls have an Attack Dice (AD) rating lor their Primaries and Secondaries and th is is the 'number of six sided dice (06) that are ro lled when- resolving an attack.

'The Range Bands .Lised in this game are 8 inches each, therefore Range Band ],js 0-8", Range Band 2 is 8-16", Range Band 3 is 16-24" a nd Range Ban~: 4 is 24-32'~ . Th'e maximum a model can fire is 32" - it is assumed that targeting systems are unrel iable beyond Range Band 4: 'a~'d that· the distances are too great for -accurate' fir ing.

is determine\l by t he type of firing model (flying/surface/d iving) cross referenced with the type of target m9del and whether it is obscured or subme rged . ' .'

The most common match ups for most models involve su.rface models using Gunnery Attacks, so when' they fire at each other consul~ the 10 Hit table be low: • .

SPEciAL RULE - LINKED FIRE It is po; sible for l i e comm'anders of models to work together in order to destroy-alJ 'enemy vessel. This is known as Linked Fire and allows

.::; '. • ONLY moders' fro m th~ ~~me Squadron to pool their AD from Gunnery r;-;H~ Attacks (imd- other ' att5l,ck-s listed below) into a single at\'ack. The ':Si' .. situations wh'ere-Linjsedtlre' IS' allowed are given below:

A model can 9NlY Link Fire weapons of the same type (Primarie~ with Primaries, Secondaries with Secondar-ies, Rockets with . Rockets, Torpe.does with Torpedoes, Bombs with Bombs) •

• The exception to this is that Tesla weapons, altbough counting as 4 •

Secondaries, can ONLY 'be Linked with 'other Tesla' weapons ' ' • A single model CAN Link Fire a weapon with one.or more of its

other weapon; (of the same type) and then Link Fire with other models in the same Squadron (doing tpe same)

• If a Sguadron uses Linked Fire, the mo'dels within it CANNOT IiRk' the AD of different types of weapons togetherl bu'lIets 1 and 2) · A single model or Squadron CANNOT Link ,Fire and split fi re with its linked AD . - .

• . Tiny flying tokens (for example Aeroplane~) can' Link fire with FULL dice on their AD and Ack Ack

NOTE: Individual models in a Squadron can Link Fire and/or use Split Fire separately, but 'a single model or Squadron can: NEVE~ com,bine Linked Fire with Split Fire in the same single attack, '.. -.

" . The way tha! Linked fire ,works is that orle m'oder (,u~ually,your most effective model) acts as tl:le focus fo the firing. Tlii6. m6del receives its full number of ~D fr~m. a single w~apan, having beel1caiculated as normal from range to·ttie t arget, as well as any 'eff~ci:s of damage it may be qwying or ~? r9s that are played. Sep'!rate cards will tell you' which may.be used with Linked Fire and wh ich:may .not.

, .. For each additioAal model (from the same Squaaron) that i6 included in the Unke"d Fire att~ck with the focus model, calculate its AD as"normal, but then only add HALF of its AD to the focus model's fire - round any numbers down. Thl s will give you one amount ef :Ae that are rolled, which counts~ as a single linked attack against the Qamage Rating (ElR)~ and Critical Rating (GR) of the target.

~ 1he linking models bo NOT' get to use the remaining 'lost', AD on other targets, thQuglHhey would get to make other-attacks from other firing arcs as usual • ','

• A .model rounds its AD down when it adds them to a Linkes:! Fire attack, but if it rounds"any odd numbers down t'O less than 1 AD it will -always add a min,i mum of 1 AD • _.

Example 5: A Squadron ' of Cruisers ends its movement with each model within 8" of aA .Airship. The first Cruiser, has A Ack Ack, with two additional Cruisers'ciGtding 2 Ack Ack 'of ~i nked Fire, for a t()tal of 8 AA. The same rules ~ould apply to using Concussion Ch~arges, exc:ept tha~ it only tI~ s a range of 4". > ' ,

~ .. of" .. '4 Example 6: Two Cruisers have moved to wit hin Range Band 3 of an enemy Fleet Carrie(. At this range each of 'the. undamaged models would re,ceive ' 3 AD. But 'the odas of penetrating tl'ie, <;:arrier's DR at this range wnerJ rGlling' only 3D6 are low. So t he Player elects fo Link Fire and roIl4D6:(3+1;) to improve the odds. If they had been at R;;lnge, Band 2 one model would have 5D6 and the second would have 2D6 for a total of Linke'd Flre of 7 AD.

. ,

Example 7: Two Cruisers-with a Fore ~nd Aft Turret use Linked Fire. A 4s1ngi:e Crujser with 'Z AD on each turret car'! Link Fire with itself for 10 ;.t\R (7+3). if the other Crlliser adds one turret to the Linked Fire.it adds

. :+3 ~D Jfor a total of 13 ,AD); or it could Link Fire with itself for 10 AD then I:.ink Firehqlf .of thett with the first Cruiser (for a total of 15 AD).

NOTE: Models CAN 'Link Fire from different ranges. Also, you DO NOT have to Link Fire with all of tne models in a Squadron. With a four moder Squadron for example, you could Link Fire ,wlt,!) two of the

ACKACK Ack Ack is used when a flying model or token ~s.ElS an · AD attack (Gunnery, Rockets, Torped'oes, Bombs and Mines) against a model Of

Example 11: i.. Dreadnought makes a Rocket attack 0( 8 AD against a Cr~iser and gets 7 hits: el'lol-'gh to get a Critical Hit agaiflst the Cruiser's CR of 6. The Cruiser ha,s 3 Ack Ack, and another cruIser in ifs Squadrofl is within 8", so int aclds its Ack Ack against tRe; Rockets it becomes Linked Fire for 4 Ack Ack (3+1). The two Cruisers rpll ~,4, 5 and 6- (and an extra roll of 1) aM car'lcel 3 hits, reducing the 7 hitsto 4, which still causes 1 damage to the Cruiser.

NOTE: A· model CANNO:r use Ack Ack- against a mo.del that is just moving within 8" 6f: it, . it only uses Ack Ack again~{ a direct threat. For exa'mple, if a model makes a Gunnery Attack or fires Rockets at a model, it is considered a di rect threat against th'at particular model (and its S!iu.adron) . ·" ' -

Cencussion Charges are also used when any model ends its move within 4" of the centre of a Mine, hJut not within 1" of the centre of the Mine.% This ishJecause the Mine would activate (at 1") BEFORE the Cencussion Charges can be used (assuming that it is a surface model).

4 If a model uses Concussion Charges against a Mine you 15nly get a hit on a roll of 5 or 6; if the nu~ber of hits equals or exceeds the AD of the Mine it is destroyed Any models from the same Squadron that are within range of the Mil1~ can link their Concussion Charge fire against it (or fir~ separately) If the Mine is~ not destroyed by Concussion Charges fire you do not mark any damage on it.

A Boarding Assault is carried out by marines equ!pped with combined ! _. rocket/diving packs, crowbars and blow torches. Most models have a

complement of marin~s and the larger the model is, the more marines it has on board. Creatures and Robots however do not have marines,

'. tlut all models have an Assault Point (AP) rating to reflect their combat effectiveness, whether they have marines or not.

It is assumed that the crew of a model is unwilling to fight, therefore

.. , Creatures ang Robots ~ANNOT perform a 4" Boarding Assault . Instead, they can move into base contact with,another model without causing a ram or collision and "then' perform a Boarding Assault. 'rhey·can also ram a model and board it (but ONLY if they have an RRof 1 or !110re) .

AERIAL MODELS lA model or ' token (of any type) CANNOT perform a B.oarding Assault against a Tiny flyer (Aerpplane)

• the~e is no rating for the crew, and a model that has no AP is therefore • An obsctlred model CANNOT perform a Boarding Assault against very vulnerable to a Boarding Assault. When a model performs a a submerged m~cIel • Boarding Assa'ult you choose how many AP to commit to the assault, • A fly.ing Creature or Robot that initiated a Boarding Assault with a

Example 2: A Battleship has in'itiated.a Boarding ' Assault against a flying Creature. Its rocket marines have swarmed around it in order to

BINGO FUEl/AMMO • ~ • Tiny 'flyers have a fuel limitation,, ~h ich you mark. with a ri umber;a •• -token. When you deploy o.r launch Tiny flyers place'a~ rriicr0:dice/f6ken • ~extto each Tiny flyer with the 6 face !;I p. A Tiny flyer can hClJ9Pil't move ' «

around the tabl~ m<Jking HALF ,moves or less, and DOES NOT lose 'Clny fuel. However, you.reduce the fuel dice by l :pOint in e;:tch, of the situations listed belqw:

- Jf aiiny flye r. makes more than. '! HALF move - If a Tiny flyer: m?kes an Ack Ack, Concussion Charge or AD attack • ~ Ff.:a Tiny flyer suffers an Abort result (~1 fuel per -hit )

IMPORTANT ~OTE: YO \! reduce ' the fuel of each· Tiny flyer on an ' .• ~ individual basis, therefore there might be situations'when each Tiny fly"er in a Squadron has a different amount Of fU,E:!lleft, •

. Example 1: Three Tiny flyers make a full move (·1 fuel) and attack"-a Land Ship, which uses Ack A'ck against them causing 1 Abor,t re~4It, after w.hich tbey resolve their attack H . fuel). Therelo~e two of the''''~ Tiny flye'ts are reduced from 6 to 4 fuel, and the AbQrted Ti!1y flyer is reduced to 3 fuel. ' .

If ~ Tiny, flyer is reduced to rfuel all it can do is move HALF C1r less it CANNOT deliberately use ' up its last point of fuel (by Jiiring fo; example). If a Tiny flyer is reduced to 0 fuel (by combat) it ditclies and is destroyed. If a Tiny flyer landson a carrier or a,irtield it? fue.! is returned to 6 and it can,launch in a-subsequent activati~n . -. o.

• If a Tiny flyer moves off table (NOTE: this MUST be the-same table edge as you/ deployment area'), it landS on its next activation an'd its fu·el . is returned to 6. It can tlien launch 01'\ a subsequel"lt a~tiVation, and can m~lVe lnto your deploym~ot area from the sam~ point .of the) able edge (as your deJ3loyment area) during the same t i-.lrn. Any .']:iny flyer can r,efuel using tbis method. '. ..: • " ,

COMBAT AIR PATROL When a Squadrori of Tiny flyers is .Iaunched it has' the option of attaching to its' carrier, on subse.quent activa'tions the Squadron can be attached to othe~ models' subject to restrictions. You can attach a Squadron of Tiny flyers to a Large €Jr . Massive model (or a Squadron of Large m0gels}:This ONLY applies to surface -and flying models, you CA~N(;)T attach Tiny flyers to a diving model.

. .

The Tiny flyers MUST b:~ within 4" of the model or Squadron to be attached, and are:P{~sequently activated at the same time as that mode.J!Squadron. The- t iny flyers MUST remain within 4" of the model/ SquadrQn when they are activated, unless you ch.o.ose to detach ·them. They stil l ignore the rules for, Col1lrT),and/Break/Braver'yi Tests however.

. . . When a model in a Squadron is activated you can move a S'quadron of Tiny fly'ers tfiat is attached·to it (or its .Squadron) at tHe same time, but if you d.o so you CANNOT exceed the maximum movement of the attached Tiny flyers during the same Turn .

::!. " ~ IfTinv. fiyers start thei,r 'activation attached to a model ,or Squadron you can detach them and move normally, but you' CANNOT exceed the

. ~ rriaxi!num m0;'erflE~ntD(the. detached Tiny tlyers.in the sam1:! Turn. You " tANNOT attach ~nd detach Tiny flv,ers during .! ne same·Tu;n . .,

< • 4 1-

You can on ly ever attach ONE Squadron of Tiny flyers to a Large-or Massive modet or,a Squadron of Large models You CAN attach a Squadron of Tiny flyers to a Large or Massive model that also has attached Escorts

Example 2: A Squadron' of T'iny flyers is attached to a Sky Fortress. Over the c6u(s.e of two turns -fou'r of them are destroyed'., Whi le

, . . tbe remaining Tiny flyer is still attached, no 'other Tiny flye rs carl be- ~ attached to the Sky Fortress, because.that single Tiny flyer counts as • the 1 Squadron limit. ' _ ' .. ' Apart from the advantage of activating at the same time as the'ir attached model or Squadron, iJ the-Tiny flyers'remai n within 4" of that ' model/Squa.dron, they can p'rovide a Combat Air Patrol (CAP) . •

If the combined Squadron is.attacked, all of them can attack -back if they have applicable weaponry . If the combined Squadron makes an attack, all ofthem can resolve an attack (and use responsive Ack Ack) ;

. .... 1)<

You CANNOT use Linked Fire between the mudel/Squaarbn and the attached Tiny flye ~s • . • Tiny flyers that are proviaing Combat Air Patrol CAN use weapons with an AD 'rating aga-inst the activating Squadron (thi; is an exception to the normal rules) . • . . ,

Example 3': A Squadron of 5 Torpedo Bombers is llyi~g CAP for a" Dreadnought. The Dreadflo\Jght is attacked by a: Battleship at . Range ~and 1, allowing any of those To'rped6 B'ombers:~it}iin:Range, Band 1 •• of t:he Battleship to use their AD againj t it."They re~!Drve their attacks at'-the same time as the Battleship. •

"

NOTE: When Tiny flyers are attacked, qr th~y are attpched to a mode! . o r Squadron that is attacked, they can use weapor;t~ with an AD rating against the activating Squadron (so long as they are in range). They make these 'atta<;ks simu ltaneously ~ith the AD ~ttacks of any Tiny ., flyers. attache~ to the activating Squadron. This is ;n ~xception to 'the normal rules.

£xample4: A Squadron of Fighter Planes is flying CAP for a Dreadnought, wFHch ts attacked by a Gyro, with a Squadron of Dive Bombers flying CAP. The~ Dreadnought allocates ifs Ack Ack in any way between the

'Gyro and. the Tiny flyers. Then the Fighter Planes and Dive Bombers : r~50Iv~ their Ack Ack against each other. The Fighter Planes resolve their 'Ack Ack attack against the Gyro, and the Qive Bombers resolve th.eir .AD attack,against the Dr~acjnoughr Lastly, the Gyro resolves its AD attacks.

The rl:Jles for attached Recon Planes are slightly different. A Recon Plane ignores rhe re~qllirement to stay within 4" of the model/Squaaron that it iS~ GlhGlched to. If a Recon Plane is GlttGlched to a model or Squadron, it: eoAfers a +1 to hit modifier for that model or Squadron if it uses indireetnre with a Primary weapon(s). Check below:

.Ih~ +1 to hit modifi,er ONLY applies if the Recon Plane has line of % sight tQ the target

A modeI/Squa9ro~ ~CANNOT have more than one Recon Plane ~ Glttached t9 it

.NOTE~ Be· careful of where you place your Tiny flyers in relation to, ,the moi:lelthey are GlttGlched to, because your opponent cpuld take ,adVahtilf?ie {)f their ~posiiion. It is possible to make an attack without triggeriTIg a, r~.spor:se by a Combat Air Patrol.

TIN.Y,HYER <::OMBAT ~The , most important rule about Timyflyers is that they. Link Fir~ ' with F.Utt dice, otherwise they declare their attacks normally (after

HOW TO WIN GAMES As with any ru les there"are several ways that you can win a game. They iriclude achieving objectives defined by a scenario or by w inning more Victory Points (VP) than your opponent(s) . If there is a time limit or a turn limit on the game it wil l create some unpredictability as to who wins the most VP the quickest. In other words, whoever has 'the most points when a time limit (such as 2 hours) or a turn limit (such' as 10 turns) exp[res, wins the game.

This section will define the w;y you win or lose a game determined by the VP 'yo'u gain, usually, for destroying and capturing enemy models. On each of the Fleet Information Guides (FIG), there is a point cost for each model which is us.ed to determine the VP using the list below:

You score the FULL pOint cost of enemy models that are destroyed during the game You score the FI}LL point cost of enemy models that mC!ve off of the t ,!ble (as they do not return and are considered lost) . This counts whether a model'is moved off-table on purpose (excludihg Tiny flye ~s that do so to refuel) 'OR accidentally due to bad seamanship or a Sturginium Flare '{ou score HALF the point cost of enemy models that have been reduced t6 .half or .Iess of their starting Hull Points (if any such models are clestroyed ·or. captured you score the VP given for those .result~. in-stead) . You score DOUI;3LE the point cost of enemy models that you have Pri~e.d;Capt lJ red (and still control) that remain on the table at the

Ultrasonic Pulverising Generator (UPG) -The creation of Or Otto Ze7insky, one of Markov's prote!fjes, the UPG.is a thing o[ sick and almost comedic ingenuity. It utilises Element '270 to propel a compound cQntaininljJ various chemicals at a target, which then p'rocee9s to re.get vigorously with the surface, draining pway certain substances ... This ·Ieads to tbe target losing much of its rigidity,

Camouflage Generator "' • .;. Ships with this generator are c;mmonly rejerr~d to as Chqmeleons, on. account of their ability to blend into the lanilscap-e.

Insteqd, it disrup ts-the,outITne of the vehicle ana those around it, making- them appear like ghosts to thQse some distance away.

Field Generator th~reJ!!f~ many generators currently in use, each type with its own unique oRerating frequency. A field generator is capable of mimicking such frequencies, making it and all nearby generatars appear either

'Sturm's ~retinue. The prototype was used with a camouflage generator ,'io oIlQw~ a'subm~rsible to sneak into London via the Thames. After the

In 1867 a decision was taken by the Government of the Kingdom of Britannia (KoB) to form a combined military that was led by one man, a singl ~ guiding hand who could rnarshaL ti;le staggering technological advances being "m~de ,

with mach"i~es of war, ~nd create a·miJitary that acted' as a single weapCln that could be used to strike down insurrection around the world, whether it was on land, sea or air.

To thls end three military Fleets were formed: Naval, Land an"d Air. Each of these is led by a Lord Admiral (a rank the Queen likes!).and in overall command is the . High Lord of the Admiralty, who in the year 1870 is the most esteemed Lord Henry Tillinger. A( first there was' some resistance from the military old guard, mainly to the naming policy of Fleets, but Tillinger's experience"shone through.

The small island' nation of Britannia has many things·it is proud of, but its naval might is sometf)ing it has held onto throughout the centuries. Since its creation in 1400, to command fleets that would protect the lands from raiders in the Northern and Western Seas, the Navy has held sway with the monarchy.

Queen·Victo ria places hjgh favour in her. Navy, and the current Lord Admiral is Joshua Spencer, who is as popular at co~as he is capable'of commanding the Navy. The KoB currently IT.as a little over 500 vessels ih active duty, man,! of whicill api serving in far flung. locations around the world. A large number of these 50g vessel~ -are ·Battleships and Dreadnoug~tS.

Engineers are working on new designs, "an ihitiative Her Majesty is most excjted by, and alth(ll:lgh.~he likes ofthe Prus'siah Empire has a larger naval.complement,

' the KoB"has always held~a lofty position, deemed by many fo be the finest and ' ~esHr~ined . Indeed, if naval might was selected on' th.e pomp ora uniformj:hen the.KoB would rule thewayesfor many:decades tp come! , .. . 1-he most.powerJul Naval Battle Group (NBG) is the#one operating in the Non:i:l Sea. i Re constant threat"hI mtlit~ry conflict with Prussia ana concerns oJier raids by Govenant vessels, keep the Norfh Sea NBG in il 'state.of constant readiness: «~ \ ' ' 0 ~

Despite its srnafl size the: K~'B# ha? controlled va;~ swath: s of l and around the globe, a period of massive Empire building seeing the KoB ?ettle 0,n every land mass. To back up tn is expansionism, the military elf the KoB lJeededl to be more than jyst a powerfu l: Navy. It# needed an#Army that ~ King or Que en could be proud :oLOver the.centuries the land forces of the ~oB have fought campaign after campaign around the world, rarely losing. The current Lord Admiral of the Land Fleet is Epmund Johnsoh, a seasoned veteran 01' numerous campaigns,' having ,started his military career in the Nijvy before being chosejl in 1867 to control t~e La(1pJ leets.

THE PRUSSIAN MILITARY The land forces of the Prussian Empire are the most powerful in, Europe, seasoned troops having had decades of warfare to hone the ir skills. The military commanders in charge, of th~ Infantry, and n~w the new Mechanised Divisions, are old men with war after war of experience behind them.

"~ "

Technological breakthroughs by Prussi:an scientists have seen the creation of inFedible machines of ' war. Tesla technology has become a mainstream weapon on ground vehicles, and if you look at th~ current crop of vehicles in this EOuntry's weapons arsenal then Tesla coils are pervasive. The pride of the Mechanised Divisions is the A9-VSturmpanzer Land Ship. This hulking mo'nster of a vehkle can· crush all before it, four giant turrets bringing major destructive power to bear on the enemies of Prussia.

Sire Sigismund, a Prussian commander with' much to prove, controls the ground vehicles of this Empire. He understands the significance of technologica l advjlnce, and he pushes hard to ensure his vehicles .of war are designed using the very latest of deadly technologies. The Prussian military can assemble a massive contingent of ground vehicles, with over 3,000 vehicles ~t ' its disposal, 400 of v.;hich are landShips. ..

The Navy is STill the pride of the Prussian military and the favourite of Emperor Frederick. In command ofthe,Navy is.5ire Tannhauser, whose military achievements' on behalf of his Empire are too numerous to list. It was his

,bravery onboard the former flagship of the Navy, SMS ~reis~hutz, that brought • :r~lAnhauseno, the attentism of the Emperor.

Side Note: SMS Freischutz was an old style DreadnoJgh( that was the flagship of the Navy. It was sunlZ in an engagement with :t<ingdom ot Britannia (KoB) Battleships north of Scotland. -The Frei'sch ut~ played cat and mouse ·with 5 Battleships for 3 days before eventually being ~unk after its rudder was

Jlestf oyed by a flight of torpedo bomb'ers. ' • '

Janrih~user's Navy has over 60Q.vessels in it and 9v~r t~e la,st decade a' ma; slve refit of the Gore ship classes has been taking pl~ce. The chietmaritime 'designers have created some of' the Illost advanced naval 'fighting ships to-ever sail the seas and oceans of the world. The Em pe ro()r Class,BattleshiR, Rej~e~ Cla~; ~ruiser and Arminius Class Frigate represent the latest in ship develolbment, with Tesla­based weaponry. making its v.;~y into·the core di?sign of the shi ps .· ~· *

Like all ptner nations the use of flying weapons of war is a relati;~f;new thing for the Prussian l11i1itary, and something that not that m!lny takese~i5usly. Sire He'lbrecht, commander of t~e Aerial Armada of the Prussian :Empire, is oft~h' mocked by his ·rivaJs. But the perceivea power of the Aerial·Armada';s not-sometiling that is mocked by the military. "

However, the aerial war machine to truly impress the militar,{ is t~e Imperium Class Carrier. The idea of taking an .• air~hip and turning it, into a ~i:arrier was, initially dismissed, butwhen Professor ErnstJ~rockmauer finished the prototype of ~ .S,ky 7;6t;tress Airship, ridicule turneGl to respect: ln its first military action an Imperium Class Carrier was uSeQ to attack th,e ~hores of the KoB. A military

, installation;in Margate., Kent was bombed and se.veral squadrons.Of the KoB's latest Lang Ships destroye.d. It was:a major blow for the KoB ~ili~ary, -and the 'Prussian High Command-revelled in their,success. i . - .

The Empire of the Blazing Sun (EotBS) has a simple military structure, perhaps '. the most simple of all of the military powers in Dystopi<;ln Wars. Three Armies

protect the empire: one acting as a shield to protect, the second as a_sword to strike out a~d the third as a crucible within which to fo rge elite soldiers. Each of these Armies has a Navy a-ttached to it and also an Aerial Armada.

When the· EotBS took the decision to create its Great Navies, fleets that the Empress would be proud of, the finest engirieers and scieritists of the land were gathered together. At the head of the proje.ct was Yoshiro Nagasumi, chief. technologist of the Empire and a mathematical genius. Nagasumi's SOKUtSU Class Battlesbip design was audacious and broke away from the usual naval doctrine of ship design, but his favour with the Empress was to see his ideas turn into a reality, despite major resistance by the EotBS Naval Admirals . .

Nagasumi went on to design the EotBS Nakatsu Class Cruiser in the wake of critical acclaim for his Battleship design. The €iensha-inspired [dens ha = train] vessel does not use a turret for its main weaponry; rather it boasts broadside . weappnry, fore torpedoes and a series of Rocket Batteries that hurl deadly incendiary projectiles at enemy vesse ls. Nagas'umi wanted a streamlined hull design to allow the Cruiser to literally cut ilireugh the waters' 'Of the seas and ocear]~ aroul1d his Empire.

Noted physicist Hironari Aratg was tasked with constructing war machines that the empire could use to further it; expansion into neighbouring territories, extending tbe .reach and effensive power of its Armies. Initially Arata focused

• on four core land vehicles: Ke-Ho Light Tank, Type II Chi-Ri Medium Tank, Ho-I

Mobile Bombard and 0-1 'Taka-Ashi' Heavy Walker. His work has created a HQ versio'n of tlie 0-1 and his. team of researchers .are working on Walkers that dwarf even the mighty 0 -1 in siz;" • .

i " . The original designs for the O, I'Hea'vy Mechanised Wal~er were plagued w.ith . problems- and their first" military action in thina s,aw o:ver 30 of the, gigantic • machines destroyed in ODe d;y of b; ttle, mainly due to'structural failures - the

. Iegs kept falling off! But Arata' kept.refining tbe d~sign al)d eventlla' lIy, with the aid of Element. 27.0, anrl' a fo r.t 't.rltous laboratory accident which saw a container of zinc fall into a .vat of steel and Element 270, a new metal comeound' was created by the scientist. Superlight and immensely strong the metal has altowed massive advances in Walker te'chna'logy, leading to a shift away froi'ritracks for large war maGhines. .

With disputes ~ommon between China and the R)Jssian Coalition, the EotBS created its Tenkei Sky Fertress as an aerial strike platform that caD strike over land or water, unleash.ing its cargo of fighters, fig'hter bomeers..a nd torpedo bombers Dnto an enemy from. above. A major breaktbrough ;in' lightweig~t metals" all formulated -in secret using Sturgeon's new found element, allows mas~ive prope:llers }O keep the Sky F?Jtress in the sky. ' •• -: •

The Aeria l Armadas,of the EotBS are growing in both num'~er aod pr~wess . Yeung pilots are being trained and' regular engagements with forces-from China an~ the Rl!~sian Coalition are weeding out "t.he 'weak. Th~ ,DFA-170-Bomber i,s proving itself to be a very effective aerial tool, and many more airc.raft,designs are coming out ofthe EotBS. '

A.WHOLE WORLD TO CHOOSE FROM Dystopian Wars is a tactical Victorian Steampunk wargame that you play on a gaming tab le. But· what exactly does that' mean? The game is set in an alternate HI70 date with a changed time-stream. The world that was does not exist; instead we'have huge military machines in the sky, on tlie water and roaming the lands of a world that is embroiled in a deadly World War. Every continent has been drawn into this conflict and that means that any form of terrain (scenery) can be used.

There are three definable areas of play in the game: air, land and sea. You can choose to play one or all of these areas, and if you feel like the cha llenge you can even play all three together. What it boi ls down to is the time, effort and cost you want to put behind assembling an em/ironm~nt that your models can be wargamed in .

NAVAL A water·based board that plays host to' a nava l action is the simplest environment to play if you want it to be, or it could turn into a very

complex gaming table. To play a naval game you really. need nothing more than a blue"cloth (0 denote the sea "and .away you go. There are .Gompanies out there selling 'sea/water cloths' or .you simply could go to a fabric st@re and acquire a blue cloth that suddenly becomes the Atlantic or North Sea.' .

A different route to take JS that of making your own water boards. At Spartan Games we. use several gaming boards made f~om MDF that have been sprayed a blue colour to represent the sea. We use MDF because it can have an uneven absorption rate for paint, \~;hich means we can end up with a simple, mottled effect on the board which looks great for a water effect. A coat of gloss varnish over this to give a sheen ' effect and a simple piece of MDF turns into any o~ean/sea you want.

The next way to enhance your water boards is to add island ~ and 6ther obstacles, such as reefs, shallow water, rocky outcrops and t o on. Your decision here is to have th~se as static pieces, which is co~monly the best '!'lay to go for a perfect lool<ing .gaming table,or, m9du lar and

TARAWA ISLA~D

. . .,

moveable pieces. Given that a board needs to ideally work for multiple settings a[ld scenarios we 'recommend a modular approach to your gamingtab!e. Future products from Spartan Games will include clear acrylic shapes to represent shallows .anq resin scenery to help dress your gaming table.

let's now imagine that it holds a strategic significance in 1870. One of "the primary nations has taken the island aQd'built a military. installation and airfield. The airfie'ld is being used to launch bomber attacks on nearby vital supply/convoy routes, as w~ 1I as importa~t land-based targets. 'Tarpwa must be neutralised at all costs ...

A simp le and fast r9ute -/le have fOl!nd for-making islands is qmm MDF 9ur ~ ma'p shows the shape; of Tarawa and gives an idea of wh"ere ' . for a base, with the edges chamfered down. Be carefu l with this as bunkers c0uld7~e' placed, shows shallow waters around the is)and and MDF can have a sharp edge to it, and dust from sanding MDF shou ld " most notable is the.airstrip. Sever'! I type~ of game can be played on not be breathed in,so take care and work in "'cl well ventilated area , The this table : islan'd can b,e made out of polystyrene that has been formed int~ a shape you are happy with.

NOTE: Dystopian Wars uses land vehicles so it may be worth thinking about. making islands with ·plenty of flat space for t~ese vehicles to operate on. You can imagine a military base somewhere in the Mediterarnean, a coastal battery lOOKing out to sea, its huge guns search inj5the horizon for enemy vessels . .

A naval game can easil{be playeq with no terrain on the table other than something blue, a~d your ship.. models of course . However, introd,ucing such things as islands, coa'S'tline, rocky o~tcrops in the water, shallo0 water,',sand banks and more, make for an interesting game. Also, such things can 6e incorporated into a scenario setting.

LAND Just ·as a cloth can be used to denote the water so a green cloth can become the farmlands of Prussia, C!lr a dirty brown cloth a stony desert , in Africa. Roads, trees, rocks, rivers, buildings (ruined and intact) and mus:;h more can briog a gaming board to life. Things like buildings, such as a banker or·coastal gun battery, can play a pivotal role in a scenario,

,or just act as an objective for a game. Capture the bunker by Turn 5 and~ain double' Victory Points, fail to capture it ,by Turn 8 a~d;lose half

·yourVictory"Polnts. - .

.. -Aircraft vsAircraft . You could have attackjng fighters, bombers and airships' m,oving in to destroy the island. Defending it could be flak towers, bunkers, land vehicles and fighters on the airfield i:h ~t have to take off before they are Qestroyed .. Tarawa could become a hotly contested target and a • de,adly aerial ~rena.

Ground vs Ground During the night an amphibious assault saw gr.ound vehicles put ashore at ta~aroqgo Point. The force has one objective -'- strike up the islan'd and capture 'the airfield, 'destroying all enemy positions along. the way, avoiding the: deadly minefields and Securing 'Tarawa. -As you drilrg up 'the islahd ' y~ur air force cou ld be bo~hi~g 'military targets, your airships striklpg at the heart of the enemy's position and your aircraft dog-fighting with enemy aircraft that have just taken o.ff from the a'irstrip. . .

If you were to write a scen'aricdor such a map you could have players facing each Dther across the riv'er, with one player tasked with getting across to the other side. Various objectives could be set, such as capture the built up areas, which are marked as Objective 1 and Objective 2, and hold them for 2 :rurns. Military targets blue, red and gre~n must 'be destroyed·be!ore your) orce can begil:l to cross the river, and so on. _

If the river is wide enough you could potenfiaJly introduce the idea of, smaller ~raft, say Gunshies or Corvettes, engaging land vehicles. Aerial ' uni1:s can harass targets on the table and right in the middle of it all you could ' have a huge Jank battle taking'place, giant Limd Ships' firing deadly broadsides at eac,h other, medium tanks zipping aro!Jnd hurling deadly o'rdnanc~_ <)t each'otner. .

The river crossings could be bridges, possibly with a lirnit!on' the size class of models that can cross them safely. They could ,equally be fords, wh ich models could move through at half spe:ed, or yDu CQuld simply say that th't:! water levef.of the river is low eneugh that any model can cross it, except that it counts as treacherous terrain,
