Dynastopian Wars

The world of Dystopian Wars is similar to our own, but subtly different. The year is 1870 and the Industrial Revolution occurred decades earlier than in our own world. Technology is far advanced, and in many cases, unrecognisable, which has led to the development of fantastic naval vessels, hulking land ships and terror from the skies in the form of airships and war balloons.
Dystopian Wars is set in a Steampunk Victorian world and is designed to ensure a fun game with a large selection of high quality models in a couple of hours. The rules support Naval, Aerial and Land models from the outset, so that you can set up battles and scenarios in any combat setting. Spartan Games will supply highly detailed, high quality resin and metal miniatures with which you can roam the high seas, scour the smog filled skies of Dystopian Wars for enemy flying ships, or doggedly defend the cities and countryside of your home nation.

Heroes of Myth & Legend
Our first set of 40mm miniatures start our journey into the world of Greek Mythology and focus in the main on Jason and his Argonauts. We've kicked off with a number of classic modelsfor this particular myth and added a few extra models along the way.

Firestorm Armada
This game is our second major product release, and follows the same ethos with which we designed The Uncharted Seas, both are games that are easy to learn and give a fast paced game. We are big fans of naval games whether they are on the ocean or in deep space, so it was a logical progression to ask our sculptors here at Spartan Games to work on some futuristic ship designs.
Firestorm Armada launched on November 23rd with four fleets in place: Terrans, Dindrenzi, Aquans and Sorylian. All four fleets also had Carrier upgrade ships available for them and in our 96 page core rule book we detailed two more races - The Directorate and The Relthoza. Over time we will roll out more upgrade ships, including such things as Escorts, Heavy Cruisers, Leviathans, Gunships and so on.

Uncharted Seas
The Uncharted Seas is a fast paced, action packed game of naval tactical combat set in a world of high fantasy. Using superb resin and white metal miniatures, and controlled by fast and easy to learn rules, the game allows you to wage war with fantastical squadrons of mighty warships.
Choose from one of several races, including the Iron Dwarfs with their steam powered ironclads, Orc Raiders with their grotesque machines of war, the ever powerful Dragon Lords, an ancient race of magical seafarers, Imperial Humans hell bent on grabbing as much land as they can and the Thaniras Elves with their sleek ships of war.

Wie ich schon woanders geschrieben habe: Die Schiffe sind sehr gut geworden. Die Panzer sind ebenso ok. Die Flieger gefallen mir aber gar nicht.

@Mshrak:
Ich würde mal vermuten, dass im nächsten Jahr Stück für Stück die angekündigen 4 Nationen vorgestellt werden. Und es müsste ja schon mit dem Teufel zugehen, wenn nach den Franzosen nicht endlich die Russen kommen. Immerhin sind die ja irgendwie der Hauptantagonist in der Welt von Dystopian Wars, imho sogar noch vor dem Covenant...

 

[Duncan_Idaho]

Leider wird das Regelwerk wohl nicht so umgeschrieben wie wir es uns wünschen. Es ist inzwischen verständlicher, aber die Aufteilung ist immer noch suboptimal.

 

[Saphos]

Die Franzosen sehen schon nett aus, der Bomber ist in der Tat etwas grobschlächtig.

Die Regelbuchüberarbeitung geht in eine positive Richtung. Allerdings fand ich es von vornherein nicht so schlimm wie immer gesagt wird.

 

[Ferox21]

Die Regelbuchüberarbeitung geht in eine positive Richtung. Allerdings fand ich es von vornherein nicht so schlimm wie immer gesagt wird.

Es kommt sehr darauf an, denke ich. Das große Problem das DW Regelbuches ist meiner Meinung nach, dass es einfache Dinge zu komplex erklärt, während wiederum wichtige Regeln in einem Halbsatz abgehandelt werden. Außerdem sind eigentlich zusammenhängende Regeln seltsamerweise über das ganze Buch verstreut. Warum muss man beispielsweise AA (Anti-Air; Flak) an drei verschiedenen Stellen erklären? Warum ist die recht wichtige Regel des indirekten Feuerns mit Primärwaffen in einem Unterabschnitt der Sichtlinienbeschreibung versteckt?

Die Updates bügeln das auch nur bedingt aus. Die Regeln von Dystopian Wars sind ja eigentlich einfach zu erlernen, aber das Buch ist recht kompliziert geschrieben. Ich würde das auch massiv umstellen und didaktisch ganz anders aufziehen.

Was die Änderungen an den Einheiten angeht, so waren diese doch wirklich notwendig. Vor allem der Inari Scout Gyro oder die Imperium Sky Fortress brauchten den Nerf. Normalerweise hatte man damit auch bis jetzt nur wenig Probleme, wenn man "normal" aufgestellt hat.
Aber auch in Zukunft gilt, dass Dystopian Wars vor allem ein Spiel für Spielergruppen ist, die faire Armeelisten spielen wollen und wo kein Powergaming betrieben wird. Denn letzteres ist auch nach den Änderungen immer noch möglich, in dem man einfach die besten Einheiten einer Seite spammt. Da muss man sich schon selber Beschränkungen auferlegen, sonst geht der Spielspaß schnell in den Keller...

 

[Saphos]

Bezueglich der Spielwerte stimme ich dir zu, meinte eher den erwaehnten Buchaufbau. Das Layout kann man natuerlich immer verbessern. Hab mich halt nicht wirklich ueberfordert gezeigt, vielleicht bin ich ja auch ein Naturtalent.
😀

Neuigkeiten 03.03.2012

This latest edition brings together a number of key changes to the rules system, a refinement of the rules text and tweaks to the Stat Cards of certain models, all of which enhance the game and deliver a better tournament experience. Rules for the original nations are presented clearly and concisely, backed up with some beautiful illustrations of the characters and ships that inhabit the Victorian Sci Fi Age. Of course, the Edition 1.1 Master Rulebook is still fully compatible with the Covenant of Antarctica and the new Republique of France A5 Fleet Guides.

Just take a look at the open variant of the Sharnak Class Cruiser to get an idea of how versatile and deadly this monster really is. Whether the Sharnak comes at you open or closed, you can be sure you are in for a fight to remember.

Notoriously difficult to shake off, the Barracuda Mk II Class Frigates are an enduring threat that will hunt enemies to the bitter end. They offer the protection and assurance you will need to ensure victory for the Aquans, making them an essential addition to your Aquan fleet. 6 models per blister.

The Ba’Kash are remorseless raiders of supreme skill – a frightening prospect for even those that have yet to come face-to-face with these unsettling figures. Perhaps even more petrifying are the machines they ride to war with. The beastly Sharnak Class Cruiser is as versatile as it is menacing, and will undoubtedly serve you well in battle. 1 model per blister.

With unrelenting malice and formidable weaponry, the Nausicaa Mk II Class Battleship has but one aim - to burn all opposing ships to a crisp. The arrival of the new Mk II Battleship brings the Dindrenzi the very latest in warfare technology. The potential for destruction is scary, but the Nausicaa will ensure that potential is realised. 1 model per blister.

Flight Stands are obviously very prominent in Firestorm Armada – after all, every Firestorm Armada model has one! The Base and Peg Set ensures you can never be short of them. 10 bases and pegs per blister.

[Moiterei_1984]

They're coming...

Stellt sich jetzt nur die Frage, ob das ein April-Scherz ist :lol:

 

[Galatea]

Ich hoffe mal dass es keiner ist, ich fänds nämlich verdammt geil...

 

[Darios]

me too!

 

[Moiterei_1984]

In's Setting würde es ja definitiv richtig gut passen, aber das Datum des Newsletters macht mich doch echt stutzig.

 

[Iceeagle85]

Cool wäre es, aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit das es nur ein Scherz ist, ist heuet verdammt hoch.
Aber wenn genug das haben wollen und es denen schreiben kommts vll. sogar.

 

[Kaisergrenadier]

Im Spartan-Games-Forum wurde es als "wahr" bestätigt und ein Render gezeigt. Dem Vernehmen nach keine eigene Fraktion und nicht direkt im Kanon verankert, aber spielbar, um z.B. die ganze Sache etwas aufzulockern.

 

[nemesis]

Marsianer ....... da könnte ich echt schwach werden in Sachen DW.

 

[Ferox21]

Nun gut, als eine Art "Scherz" und dennoch mit offiziellen Regeln wäre das nicht so schlecht. Ich hatte schon Befürchtungen, dass das die Russischen Landeinheiten hätten sein können. So ist das ganz ok und sogar passend zum Setting.

Ach ja, wie erwähnt geht endlich das Spartan Forum wieder, war ja lange genug offline...

 

[Darios]

Marsianer ....... da könnte ich echt schwach werden in Sachen DW.

jup. das wärs ^^

 

[Starrider]

@ Darius: Spielst du DW?

 

[Darios]

noch nicht *g* aber das würde mich schon schwer reizen wenns kommt. bislang läuft es unter "naft" wie ein Bekannter meinerseits sagt. "not another fucking tabletop"

 

[Starrider]

Damnit! 😉 Ich versuch ja grad auf Tübeltop was zu starten, aber da dauerts...
