Dystopian Wars 2.0 is Announced!
Get ready for even more action on the steampunk high seas. Spartan Games just pulled the covers off of Dystopian Wars 2.0 Its a beauty!
Dystopian Wars 2.0 Rulebook
Spartan Games is pleased to announce the release of the Dystopian Wars 2.0 Rulebook, a major enhancement to the highly successful Victorian Super Science Fiction wargame that was originally launched in 2010. Since its release Dystopian Wars has expanded as a game to encompass seven core nations, numerous Alliance nations and mercenaries. The model count for the game is literally in the hundreds and continues to grow as the devastating world war intensifies. Across the seven core nations there are now over 320 models to game with, and this does not include the likes of the Ottoman Empire, Chinese Federation, Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth, League of Italian States, Australians (Free and Royalists), Kingdom of Denmark, Black Wolf, Eclipse Company and East India Company.
The key focus for the 2.0 book has been improved clarity of the rules, the speeding up of overall game play and the ability to let gamers deploy larger forces. Game mechanics such as Force Deployment and Small Aerial Models have been enhanced to improve game play. Inside the books players will find a comprehensive background section that covers the core seven nations of the Dystopian Wars world, along with statistics for 21 Battle Groups, encompassing Air, Land and Sea for each of the major seven nations. These will be further supported by a series of free to download PDFs for each nation and all Alliance nations. Later in 2014 three new Alliance Hardback Books will arrive for gamers to add to their collections.

Operation Shadow Hunter
Ships are vanishing without a trace…
Rumours of a mysterious ‘Ghost Ship’ are whispered by merchant crews…
Set in the waters around South America, Operation Shadow Hunter pits two bitter enemies against each other: the Empire of the Blazing Sun and the Federated States of America.
In territory that once belonged to the Republic of Argentina, the forces of the Empire of the Blazing Sun are once again on the move. Their plan is complex, their overall objective still a secret, but the dice have already been rolled and the battle lines drawn. The eastern forces have a new and deadly ally. The infamous Wani have returned from exile, contributing never-before-seen technology to seal their new pact of service with the Empire.
To the north, the Federated States of America has responded with speed to the loss of its own vessels, both military and civilian. In a bid to counter the mysterious ‘Ghost Ship’ the chief scientists of this great nation have accelerated development of their own secret weapon – the Boston Class Submersible – and the American Admirals are eager to prove it in battle. Designed to engage and destroy even the most formidable enemy ships, the Boston Class comes armed with the latest advanced weaponry and a complement of Assault Subs.
The scene is set for lethal conflict as two of the deadliest naval forces on the planet clash in the once calm waters off the coast of Brazil.
Dare you take command in Operation Shadow Hunter?
