Alternate Events-World War II Retro Sci-Fi Core Rules
 |
The Alternate Events WWII Miniature Wargame Alternate Events: World War II is a skirmish-based miniatures game set in the retro sci-fi setting of an alternate World War II. The game is intended for use with the Darkson Designs line of AE-WWII "true" 28mm. AE-WWII presents players with a war quite different from the one found in the history books. Here¸ the war has dragged on and neither the Axis nor the Allies have been able to secure a victory. By spring of 1946 the conflict has devolved into a bloody war of attrition and all sides turn to new advances in science¸ technology and even the occult to try and achieve victory. As you will see from the alternate history presented here¸ the war continues along much the same lines it had in our past¸ but different forks in the timeline have led the world to a different place; a place of frightening weapons of war¸ a place of faltering alliances¸ a place of death and heroism¸ a place of never-ending war. AE-WWII combines war-gaming and historical fiction into a game that has much to offer fans of both. With a flexible¸ points-free detachment design system players can create purely historical forces or units comprised entirely of the terrifying new wonder weapons available to each side of the conflict. In AE-WWII it's up to the players to decide how historical or how fictional the game will be.
