Spartan’s Dystopian Wars Kickstarter Details Emerge
November 7, 2016 by brennon
Spartan Games have revealed some more details as to what they're aiming to do when they hit Kickstarter this month, expanding on the world of Dystopian Wars.
The focus is going to be directed towards a number of different issues including Core Nation Expansion Sets giving them both naval and aerial options focused on the forces involved.
Talking of the Core Nations, they're also going to get their own Guide Books giving you thoughts on tactics and of course expanding on the background.
A new Dystopian Wars Two Player Expansion Set will also be released.
This Ice Maiden Super Carrier shows off just one of the ships coming your way...
"A fantastic story setting will see naval forces of the Prussian Empire strike out into the Baltic to engage the navy of the Russian Coalition. At the heart of the Prussian’s audacious plan is the Ice Maiden, a huge invasion Super Carrier created by the mighty Teutonic Order out of an iceberg!
The Two Player Starter Set contains over 30 highly detailed models, scenery, dice, campaign guide and rulebooks (Dystopian Wars and Dystopian: Fleet Action) – everything players need for countless hours of fun!"
It does sound rather fun and it's neat to see some of the older forces getting a look in. A series of Campaign Books will also follow on from this, pushing the narrative forward for all of the nations. You can find more detail on this HERE.
What do you think of this campaign idea?

Glad to see Spartan going back to one of their popular systems and supporting it rather than abandoning it in favour of yet another new game in yet another scale!
nice.
didn’t the navy talk about doing something similar during the war?
I like Spartan, and while I am not a fan of Dystopian wars, its nice to see them being proactive
@zorg Yes you’re right. I can’t remember the details and I’m sure it’s way more complicated than my description but I believe it has something to do with an ice mixture that combines sawdust or similar. Makes it has hard as rock. The plan was to run tubes around the hull of the ship that would freeze this mix to create a floating rock :).
Here it is 🙂

defiantly an interesting concept but would it look as good as the model.
That’s it live now, all backed 🙂
