New Edition Of Urban War Coming Soon From Seb Games
October 18, 2024 by brennon
Seb Games is doing great work looking to bring different forgotten games back to the tabletop. One such game is the Sci-Fi wargame Urban War which will be getting a new edition release shortly alongside a new set to get you started.
Urban War: Strike Team Action // Seb Games
The new edition is going to be coming very soon and a Beta version of the campaign rules is already available right now for you to try out. According to Seb Games, ninety per cent of the rules are the same as the first edition and all miniatures will remain as part of the game. The main focus has been on tweaking the rules here and there to smooth out the game experience and add clarity to certain rules.
As mentioned above, the main thrust of the new edition is those campaign rules mentioned above which will allow you to fight over Iskandria. If you like the sound of that, a new Gamebox would be a good starting point and one of those is on the way as well.
Strike Team Action Starter Set // Urban War
This set won't come with metal miniatures and instead will feature SioCast miniatures to get you started. Inside the set, you're going to get...
- 4 Junkers Legionaries
- 1 Junkers Legionary Lancer
- 4 Viridian Colonial Marines
- 1 Viridian Colonial Marine with HGR
- Two brand new named characters. One for each faction. More details about those two will follow soon!
- Dice
- Softcover Urban War 3ed rulebook
- Terrain sheets
- A3 Map of Iskandria
- Counter sheets
...so everything that you need for playing as the Junkers and the Viridians and maybe attempting a bit of a campaign yourself. The contents of the box may tweak a little bit once the set goes into production but I'd say you've got most of the contents nailed down there.
From there, you just need to get yourself some metal miniatures later on down the line and your Urban War journey has begun! Did you miss out on Urban War first time around and could this draw you back into the game?

Ah voir la suite , d’après les futurs sorties.
I think I have some of the old VOID miniatures- that was the earlier incarnation of this gaming world, right? I like the look of the troops on the left side of the image- I assume they are the Colonial Marines.
Pretty sure I had some a very long time ago, too.
Looks like it has become much better – sculpts, production.
Something to keep in mind!
Blast from the past! I note they are using the very cool artwork from about 2006 as I recall. Issue then for me was that they had all this amazing looking new art but that the minis were still the same old VOID stuff. Bit of an injection of newer looking stuff would be good, unless they think they can go for the ‘old world’ style nostalgia with the older metal minis.
