What a Lovely Day!
Via The Watch House comes word of a new miniature skirmish game with an . . . unusual premise.
Emerging from the heat shimmer they
come in a roar of sound and fury, the nomad brigands and road pilots.
Chrome, dust and rust in your rearview mirror are the first harbingers
of impending doom. Then the incessant chatter of twin Vickers fills your
ears and your auto begins to disentegrate around you.
It's the Dirty Thirties and you're having a bad day...
Pray Maximillian is out there somewhere!
The product of two (naturally) Australian companies - Eureka Miniatures and Mana Press - the cover art alone is evocative enough for an entire RPG campaign. I'm reminded quite a bit of Crimson Skies, that early-2000s computer/board game franchise with a similar pulp-era apocalypse feeling, only with an aviation focus. I expect certain conceptual similarities with Car Wars as well, although the alt-1930s setting should serve to differentiate it quite well.
