Fortune And Glory Two Player Starter Set // Dystopian Wars
Shop Dystopian Wars @ Wayland Games
This new set works as the perfect way for two new players to jump into playing Dystopian Wars. At the heart of it are two powerful fleets alongside rules, dice, cards and all of the extras that you need to get started in your first games. As mercenary fleets, these also allow you to expand your force to match any faction that grabs your fancy meaning that you can go in all sorts of different directions should you wish!
Fortune And Glory Two-Player Starter Set - Miniatures // Dystopian Wars
On the Union side of things, you have The Honorable Eclipse Company. These fellows have secured escort contracts with various clients around the globe and have used that investment in order to bring some mighty vessels into the mix. At the heart of this is the new Excelsior Heavy Aircruiser that can drop a frightening amount of bombs on the enemy from on high.
Excelsior Class Heavy Aircruiser // Dystopian Wars
As well as the Excelsior Class Heavy Aircruisers, which can also be built as the Venture or the Custodian, you will also get three additional airships in the form of the Steward Class Sentry Airship. These can also be built as the Constellation, Republic, Ticonderoga or Ranger.
You will then get five Bogota Class Carryall and a handful of Union SRS Tokens to round things off on the Union side of things.
New Sultanate Miniatures!
When it comes to the Sultanate, they are not to be outdone when it comes to the power they can project into the skies. The Crimson League are led by Princess Scheherazade who joined the Covenant Of The Enlightened for a time before leaving when the Egalitarian and Custodians schism came to the fore.
Lyceum Class Aerial Dreadnought // Dystopian Wars
At the heart of this fleet is the impressive form of the Lyceum Class Aerial Dreadnought. Gifted to the Sultan by the Covenant Of The Enlightened, these are opulent craft but don't let that fool you. The look of these dreadnoughts shouldn't distract you from the amount of damage they can do!
The Lyceum Aerial Dreadnought can be joined in battle by the Nasr Class Skyship which can also be built as the Awsbiri or Muharib. You then also get three Hirka Class Skycutters, three Alsaqr Class Skybarques (awesome word!) and then a collection of Sultanate SRS Tokens.
The bonuses for this set include two Titan Class Heavy Conveyers (may be built as Passenger, Freight or Oil variants) plus two Merchant Ships and two Escorts. You'll also note that you get Small Ship Tokens and Ground Assault Detachment Tokens which work nicely with the scenarios that you'll get to play.

Last but not least, we have all of the extra goodies that you'll need to start playing Dystopian Wars
Fortune And Glory Two-Player Starter Set - Rules & Gubbins // Dystopian Wars
With two awesome fleets to choose from featuring excellent miniatures and all of the rules and gubbins to dive in and start playing, this works as another great option for people trying out Dystopian Wars for the first time.
Icebergs And Glaciers Set
Some bonus terrain is also making it into the releases for the month of October. Watch out for these Icebergs And Glaciers as they tend to sink ships!
Icebergs And Glaciers Set // Dystopian Wars
You get eight of these in the set which are going to be very helpful when folks are setting up interesting tabletops. These terrain pieces could end up spelling the end of your fleet if you stray too close to them.
Scandinavian Support Squadrons
Last but not least, we have some supporting vessels for use with the Scandinavians that we saw pop up over the last few months. Who wouldn't want to give more firepower to these Nordic sailors who are intent on protecting their fjords?
Scandinavian Support Squadrons // Dystopian Wars
You can pick up two Thor Assault Raiders in the set which can also be built as Loki, Angrboda, Heimdall, Baldr or Gefjon alongside four Fenrir Hunter Submarines, two Valkyrie Hunt Rotors and two Vali SRS Tokens.
This marks quite a big month of releases for Dystopian Wars and offers up a neat way for you to dive into playing the game for the first time. Don't forget that we have a wealth of Dystopian Wars content for you to dive into over on our Game Hub.
How To Play: Dystopian Wars // Imperium Vs Crown
You can start with that How To Play and from there, you've got plenty to get stuck into. Will you be playing as the Union or the Sultanate when this new two-player starter set drops?

I am a bit puzzeled…a starter set for a naval game…with nearly all flyers??? I like the flyers…but they are an addition to the ships…not the other way around. A starter set that does not represent the biggest part of the gamesystem…interesting take
If I may be a bit salty – the Sultanate get a nice resin main flagship, but the false ‘Covenant of Antarctica’ get a lazy plastic set.
Salty you say, that’s quite apt for a naval game, you salty sea dog 🙂
I continue to be impressed with both the quantity and quality of releases being output for dystopian wars, it hasnt quite hooked me in yet as i have more than enough other projects but im sure its only time before it does.
Interesting looking new models I love the airships they look like they have escaped from flash gordon.
