Euro War Games Brings Global Conflict To The Tabletop
September 26, 2016 by brennon
Euro War Games are on Kickstarter looking for funding for their new miniatures game, Global Conflict, where Near-Future real world forces clash for control of Earth's resources...
The models for this game have been designed in 32mm scale and not only are they offering a range of infantry for the game but also a selection of vehicles too.
The campaign draws you to a number of different Core Box options. The first looks to give you two infantry based armies made up of Light Infantry and Shock Troops. Something that was pointed out for this range is that they're looking to produce models where you have no duplicate sculpts.
A lot of the troopers will have different facial details or equipment choices as well as various ways of holding their guns. As mentioned above they aren't just focused on soldiers and they have been looking at vehicles too.
Core Box Two comes with lighter vehicles to use in your games including a lot of APC vehicles and Trucks to transport your soldiers. Core Box Three, on the other hand, adds in some heavier hunks of metal in the form of tanks.
They've very much kept to the theme of Near-Future warfare where a lot of these soldiers could be part of Modern Military forces as well as those in the near future. There are no walkers here, just plenty of big tanks and highly trained soldiers.
The Game & Downloads
As well as the miniatures there's also the rules that come as part of this collection.
The game focuses in on simple D6 based combat which is fast and easy to learn. We've heard a lot of campaigns claim that so it will be interesting to see where this way takes things. One of the key elements of this is that they're giving you tile print offs that you can use as a basis for the tabletops you build up.
They are actually also providing you with files to give terrain for your games in the form of innercity buildings. As mentioned above the focus is on giving you a semi-realistic experience as the factions clash but with that added level of cinematic awesomeness we all want when playing games.
The Models
If you've been won over by it already then you'll want to see the miniatures. You can see some examples of their 3D printing below showing off a trooper at both stages. You can see a fair amount of the detail has come through from the original render.
I'm not sure but it seems like the miniatures actually do come in two different colours meaning that you could get stuck in right away.
Either way, I think with the growth in popularity of Modern Military shooters and tabletop games this could be quite the hit with people.
When painted up and shown off on the tiles, with the buildings around them, it looks like an impressive package to get you going.
I suggest keeping an eye on this campaign and see where it goes. We've yet to see a proper rules download or a gameplay demo but hopefully that's something coming down the pipeline.

the troops look brilliant.
Great looking figures!
I’m slightly concerned about the thin gun barrels tho..
Still, I’m very tempted to back this!!
This is fantastic, there is a lack of modern combat miniatures on the market in a wide enough range, this looks like it will deliver a large range quickly!
There are heaps of modern stuff available in 28mm and 20mm. Not too keen on these, but the vehicles look good.
All excited, then…
32mm.
Sigh.
Looks cool. But, I agree with @aussiejed. 32mm bummer.
What would be the right scale?
If they want large, 25-28mm, which would fit with a lot of other ranges. Of course they just may not want people using other ranges than their own…
On the Kickstarter Page they have a picture comparing their minis with other ranges, and they match Zombicide, and infinity so they are in fact 28mm.
The comparison to the TAG figure is most appropriate and if you look at the bases you see they have the TAG mini on quite a high base. This does not inspire confidence and smacks a little of an attempt at deception.
But 390 € and just one model to show of is a bit to mich risk for me.
I like the look of this but there are a few things that to me; really come off as a warning sign.
There are lots of renders but other than that there seems to be very little information, at least nowhere near the amount you see in many other very well planned and thoroughly planned campaigns… I did not even see a mention of what materials they are going to be? (Did miss this?). If this kind of information was left out/up in the air that worries me; as if they are rushing this to kickstarter prematurely.
Yep….website not fully working, and well it looks a mess.. I was hoping….spanish ? It it was Mantic.. but I keep a eye on it…. but a No Go for me….shame
All through the page they say “28mm and 32mm”. Hmmm.
