Bayonets, Rifle Fire and Venusian Jungles

The next NWG title will be Victorian Science Fiction wargame, set on Venus, featuring ranks of brightly clad young soldiers with rifles, dinosaurs and steam powered walkers, alongside alien mercenaries and dashing officers.

Rules will be a modification of Squad Hammer, taking some of the better ideas from around that eco system. It may end up looking like a somewhat simplified Rogue Hammer, not sure yet. This does mean the rules will be amenable to both single figures and unit bases. Army unit size 5-8 units per side but should scale fine.

There will be a single universal army list with lots of units to choose, rather than nation specific lists. 

Also will have a set of “character skills” to customise your officers as being particularly brave, tough, cunning etc.

This will include some “weird types” that can be used as various alien troops as well. 

Some “Army trait” options to customise the force and let you have an army thats particularly keen on bayonet fighting, discipline, rifle drill or whatever.

Hoping for 10 or so scenarios in total. 

“Persistent army” rules, allowing units to gain a bit of experience, but not a heavy focus.

Scenario story generator to help set up scenarios or mini campaigns. 

Aim is about 80 pages of rulebook, PDF release and if all the stars align, have a playable version out by the end of October or mid November.

This will be a “Weasel Funder” - direct crowd fund as we have done before. You donate whatever amount you want to help make this game happen, and when the game is ready to go, you get that amount discounted off.

You will also get alpha version access. 

I am not sure of the final price, I imagine about 15 dollars, though if the page count gets higher, it could be 20. 

If you are passionate about this and want to make it happen, you can donate more than that. Anything throwing in 25 dollars or more gets their name in a game example or fluff bit. 
This time everyone who donates also gets a shout out in the intro chapter.

Please note that this is an indie game in PDF format, using fan photography of miniatures as art. It is NOT a glossy, hardcover book.
