- “Verge Of War” is a classical wargame with RPG elements.
- The system is highly scalable, allowing to play both skirmishes and epic battles if players have armies of corresponding sizes.
- The game uses six-sided dice (or D6), markers, cards and tokens.
- A typical game is very dynamic, consists of 6 game rounds and takes about 40-120 minutes depending on the size of the armies.
- You won’t just stand and watch during your opponent’s turn! You can react to nearly anything they do.
- The mechanics of “Verge of War” are easy to learn, but there is a lot of strategy involved in its confrontations. Players will have to think carefully: before the battle begins, a player chooses skills for the army commander from three skill sets representing different strategies, doctrines or military specialties. Each set is divided into 10 levels, which reflect the experience and expertise of your commander.
- Players can explore different strategies to find the one that best fits their play style.
- The game is well-balanced: it allows to use any combinations of units and win if you apply the right tactics.
- The Free Pose Technology allows unlimited variants of poses for your models. One set provides endless pose options for your characters.
- Participate in the Verge of War universe development.
YEAR 2232. Four years passed since the first clash of the Human Empire and the Seit Dominion… And the Galaxy changed. Forever.
Greedy, ambitious and cunning humans joined Pirate Warbands and turned them into a bane of galactic routes. Their raider fleets have become a threat that only the greatest states are able to counter.
Pirates are by no means a unified faction. They’re as far from a regular army as one can get, and still they definitely are a bane of the Galaxy. Reasons for becoming a pirate are as numerous as pirates themselves. Some are exiles, some want to prove something, some are led by simple greed. Different gangs may have different motives, but they are still what they are: groups of criminals, ready to gather under a strong leader and try their luck.
Pirates are quite an irregular bunch, but still they have to gather
at secret bases or outposts to plan massed operations, repair ships and sell stolen goods.
- Thirunga Port: mostly famous for piracy on trade routes.
- Zarzarah Port: the most violent fellowship out there. Plunderers, kidnappers and slavers that aren’t above anything.
- Ranghera Port: the biggest slaver guild.
- Almara Port: mercenaries, offering their services to anyone able to pay.
Asgar are one of the oldest races in the Galaxy. At the dawn of their age, ambitious and powerful Asgar waged wars against other civilizations and wiped them out. They’ve always acted in a cynical and violent way pursuing their own interests and satisfying their ego.
At certain point, the Asgar got used to playing gods, mentoring the younger races, giving more to ones and less to others. To see how some of the young races handle crises, the Asgar orchestrated cataclysms and observed. Not all managed to survive.
The Asgar founded the Galactic Council to control development and expansion of other civilizations, and everything worked as intended until disaster came...
