Ever since the coronation of Sultan Mustafa, Princess Scheherazade has kept herself amused using the funds she received from the government of her brother to continue her research as a member of the Covenant of Enlightened. She was instrumental in funding and developing several Covenant projects and served as a Covenant ambassador to several capitals during the early years of her brother’s reign. Exactly what role she played in the Covenant’s Schism is unclear – as is our understanding of the event. In any case, her talents as both a leader and a strategist called her to explore other avenues for profit and adventure – and she expanded her own ‘Promethean Complex’ into a veritable armoury, developing many different advanced weapons for sale to the Great Powers or for the use of Enlightened forces. Her contact with the Covenant’s “warmaster” Schneider fostered an interest in military activities and the romance of a mercenary life. It is no surprise that the Princess established her own mercenary outfit early in her Covenant career. [Postscript: We believe the princess is operating from somewhere in Morocco, although that is pure conjecture. I would ask that we consider a detachment of Iapetus or Astraea to investigate.] This ‘Crimson League’ is dismissed as a vanity project so far as I gather amongst the halls of power. Staffed uniformly by noble adventurers and outlandish aristocrats, the organisation has nonetheless developed a reputation amongst certain quarters as highly effective. Reports garnered from their operational activities indicate a technologically advanced force of unique aerial vehicles and experienced crews, capable of working together despite their flamboyant personalities and wreaking havoc in their wake. [Postscript: A contract with the Crimson League can run into expenses of hundreds of thousands in Sterling so I am told.] The Crimson League has become a thorn in the side of the Sublime Porte – frequently striking at perceived threats to the Sultanate without the government’s blessing at the whim of the Exiled Princess and frequently making a diplomatic nuisance of themselves. There is a more worrying side to these concerns however, if the Sultan were to fall, would his infant son be able to rally the military to his side against the might of the House of Gold? And would the Exiled Princess simply sit out and allow her nephew to succeed to the throne that she believes is rightfully hers? And if she did intervene – would she bring the Crimson League with her? [Postscript: I believe a comparison with the Commonwealth’s Black Wolf and his proximity to the Tzar’s court would be apt here.] An excerpt from a file sent -FROM: Sir Humphrey Attlee, Permanent Secretary GCB, KBC, MVO, MA (Oxon)TO: The Rt Hon Richard Bickerton Pemell Lyons, GCB, GCMG, PC17th May 1873 Contents: 1x Lyceum Aerial Dreadnought (may also be built as the Badroulbadour) 4x Nasr Skyship (may also be built as Awsbiri or Muharib Class) 4x Hirka Skycutters 4x Alsaqr Skybarques Please Note: Dystopian Wars: Rules, cards, guides and instructions are digital with this product and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

The Ergun Assault Battleship has no peer when it comes to leading landing operations. Most naval forces believe in the idea of multiple, smaller vessels. Admitting that while they may lose some, they can’t lose them all. The Emperor believes that losing troops before they’ve even made landfall is madness. To this end, the Empire built the Ergun. A resilient battleship that can take the fire of coastal defences before reaching its target. Volleys of alchemical rockets and gun battery fire pummel into enemy emplacements and shore defences as the vessel closes in. This makes the Ergun a huge target for fire which canny Commodores can make use of by setting up feints and counterattacks. This helps to mitigate the damage taken by the Assault battleship before it reaches the shoreline. Then with a clash of metal, the ramp descends and the assault begins. Once the troops have disembarked the paddlewheels easily extricate the behemoth from the land and back to sea, all the better to support the troops from afar.

Tales of the Honourable Eclipse Company had spread through the military forces of the Union of Federated States over the past few years. Being a largely aerial based force they had influence over land battles, naval conflicts and particularly in air based assaults. Opinions were largely varied. For some, they were a welcome reinforcement, arriving just in time to save the day. For others, a logistical complication. More traditional strategists were annoyed that the HEC operated with their own autonomy, frustratedly figuring out how to incorporate them into the larger operations while still allowing them creative execution of their orders. Then there were some that hated the apparently “honourable” mercenaries. Those men who experienced what it was like when the paycheck ran out. Soldiers whose last look at the HEC was as they withdrew from battle without warning. The contract was over and damn the eyes of whoever had the misfortune of fighting alongside them. Fortunately for the Honourable Eclipse Company, survivors in this instance were rare and few lived to spread word. Besides, the press offices of the HEC did great work making them look good.

The Egyptians have designed their vessels to float upon cushions of air, equally adept at gliding across the endless deserts as well as the open ocean. A prime example is the Abydos Hover Stronghold, numerous gun batteries can be brought to bear while repair crews wait, ready at a moments notice to perform remarkable feats of field engineering. When more direct offence is needed, the Pharos Hover Dreadnought brings a staggering array of weaponry to bear against its foes, including a deadly heavy particle cannon. The Pharos taxes its powerplant to an extreme, its weapon systems drawing on power that might otherwise be used for assisting its repulsion systems with the additional weight of its munitions. This box contains: 1x Abydos (may also be built as Tanis or Pharos Class) 4x Mandjet (may also be built as Sabah, Sobek or Mesektet Class) 4x Hashashin (may also be built as Kopesh Class) 4x Scarab SRS Please note: Dystopian Wars: Rules, cards, guides and instructions are digital with this product and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

Dystopian Wars is a naval tabletop wargame that uses highly detailed miniatures to represent huge engines of destruction on, above, and below the high seas. Set in the Dystopian Age, an alternate late-nineteenth century of our own world, the Great Powers of the globe use super-science and alien engineering as they clash over resources and power. Battleships and cruisers sail the surface of the sea while sky fortresses and dirigibles soar in the sky above. Submarines lurk beneath the waves alongside squid automata and colossal mechanical knights. Fighters and bombers circle, waiting to dive upon their prey. All of this combines for an intense, tactical experience. The Victory & Valour Deck is integral to the game of Dystopian Wars. Each card has multiple uses that add to your tactical options. Victory Conditions allow you to maximise your Victory Point tally, guiding your fleet towards scoring Objectives, be it through destroying specific enemy units, or claiming strategic locations in the Play Area. In short, they can be your key to victory. Conversely, if you want to keep your opponent on their toes, you might want to make use of Valour Effects. These are immediate buffs to your models, and bonuses which can be used to add Action Dice, re-roll undesirable results, reposition your units, and so much more. Additionally, the Value on these cards will be utilised for your units’ Crew Checks, determining Initiative, and for other decisive moments in your game. Whichever way you choose to use your cards, they can only be used once, so choose wisely! Mastering the Victory & Valour deck is vital to mastering the game of Dystopian Wars. Contents: 1x Victory & Valour Card Deck Please Note: Printed materials are supplied in English.

They seemed to come from nowhere, without warning. The Alliance battlefleet of Italian vessels had no time to prepare, barely even enough to power up heat lances. Fighters slashed the sky as Amo Carrier Frigates broke the surface following their submerged approach, small hatches opened on their surface and small drones launched into the sky almost immediately. The Enlightened formations remained uniform as they closed the distance; pre-programmed and soulless. From another direction came the flagship. The Xenophon Battlecruiser ploughed through the waves, still glistening wet from its underwater, surprise attack. Particle beams pierced the hulls of Alliance vessels as men still ran to battlestations. The screams of steel and souls were drowned out by the screech of Enlightened Scythe fighters, strafing the set-upon ships, aiming to exacerbate the damage caused. Finally, as disarray swept across the Alliance fleet, almost as if it were a tangible encompassing cloud, then came the Lovelace cruisers. Striking deep at the heart of the enemy, more green beams of light sliced across filigree armour plates and pierced deep into gaping holes in the superstructure of larger vessels, that were as yet unsunk. Before long, it was over with the victims of the attack never knowing why. It might have been a territorial dispute or something altogether more esoteric in the minds of the Enlightened officers. By the time the wavelurking ships submerged, there was little left to show what had happened. Flaming patches of oil, an occasional lifeboat that went unnoticed and some potential salvage for whoever passed this way next. Contents: 1x Xenophon Battlecruiser (may also be built as Kepler or Loew Class) 2x Lovelace (may also be built as Stiletto, Copernicus, Ulysses, Chatelet or Antarctica Class) 6x Amo (may also be built as Merian variants) 2x SRS Tokens Please Note: Dystopian Wars: Rules, cards, guides and instructions are digital with this product and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

Flagship of the Black Wolf Mercenary Fleet and commanded by the charismatic Volodymyr Nikonov, the Death Bringer is feared around the globe. Stolen from the Enlightened during a presentation to the Tsar, Nikonov ensured the Death Bringer was an utterly unique masterpiece by destroying the blueprints and setting the shipyards ablaze. Extrapolated by Ukrainian engineers from charred blueprints of the stolen Death Bringer, the Akula is still the most powerful in the Ukrainian Submarine Command. One element that was successfully replicated was the Akulas magnetohydrodynamic drive enabling the boat to approach virtually undetected before striking. Based in Odesa, Ukrainian Submarine Command (UPK) has the lead in subnautical warfare and exploration for the Commonwealth. With an impressive training academy in nearby Zatoka, the UPK provides a steady supply of skilled submariners and vessels like the lethally fast Khyzhak class. Fast and deadly, the Piranya hunter submarines patrol in packs along the Black Sea and the Bering Strait. With a complement of twelve, the Piranya make for a close-knit boat crew, ideal for such vessels with sparse living comforts on month-long duty beneath the waves. Contents: 3x Grand Submarine Can be built as either the Death Bringer or Akula Class ship 6x Khyzhak Attack Submarines 6x Piranya Hunter Submarines Please Note Dystopian Wars: Rules, cards, guides and instructions are digital with this product and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

The Vauban is the largest and the oldest of the early generation levant vessels still in service to the Republique. Photojournalists at the time of her launch captured the Vauban in the imagination of the French people. An indelible image is left of an engineering marvel hanging majestically low in the sky, sending waves of her heroic fighters and bombers to victory. It is said that in the weeks following the public showing of the first Vauban Sky -Fortress, French military recruitment centres reported a 22% increase in people signing up. Requests for an assignment within the Service Aeronautique were so prevalent that public relations officers had to be brought in to veer the public into positions that were more needed. Young recruits were persuaded into infantry roles with the promise that it might lead to an assault position on a Levant cruiser with promotion to a Vauban on the horizon. These things, while certainly possible, were in reality quite unlikely. Many a lucky pilot would rise to the fortunate position of crewing a Frelon Bomber. These incredible aircraft seem impossibly large when standing next to one, so much so that the wings were designed to fold in order to fit them aboard carriers; even the mighty Vauban can only carry limited squadrons. The significant payload of the Frelon bomber allows them to cause serious damage to enemy fortifications as well as the largest capital ships and armoured divisions. Now the Vauban has the reputation of having the best of the best crews among the Service Aeronautique. While a small percentage of those original recruits have found their way to their dream positions, those that have got there have done so with hard work, dedication, and a not-insignificant amount of luck. This luck has rubbed off on the Vauban class, with each one having a story of defeating seemingly insurmountable odds. At least, that’s what the publicists say. Contents: 1x Vauban Sky Fortress 2x Chasseur Levant Cruiser (may also be built as Furieux or Voliere Class ship) 2x Dieppe Levant Cruiser (may also be built as Alma, Marseille, Gascony or Lyon Class) 2x Epaulard Artillery Submarine (may also be built as Sirene Class) 6x Honneur Levant Destroyer 2x SRS Tokens 6x Frelon Tokens Please Note: Dystopian Wars: Rules, cards, guides and instructions are digital with this product and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

For centuries, the Immortal Celestian Emperors have been content to keep the Seven Realms isolated from the rest of the world. But in this new Dystopian Age, and with enemies on every side, they have come to realise that isolation will not keep their realms safe. They must adapt. With terrifying colossi, impregnable skyfortresses, and torrents of alchemical fire, the Empire demonstrates their naval power to all who would threaten their sovereignty. When Crowns topple, Unions break, and Sultanates shatter, it is the Empire that will endure. This faction Starter Set provides the perfect complement of miniatures to either begin or expand your Dystopian Wars Empire fleet. The Empire is infamous for its mastery of alchemical weaponry, deadly gases and unquenchable flames designed to sow terror and devastation amongst their foes. Boasting awesome gun batteries, alchemical rockets, and Huoqiang flamethrowers, the mighty Hokkaido was built to sail in a line of battle and respond to injury in kind. Further back behind these brawlers is the versatile Miyagi Advanced Monitor, renowned as an adaptable chassis capable of launching squadrons of Doksuri Fighters to terrorise enemy crews, or of seeding the area with deadly mines before the battle even begins. Newest to the combined fleets of the Jade Pact is the Oni Command Cruiser - named after the legendary “Oni” prototype battlecruiser, it continues its namesake’s legacy by deploying some of the Empire’s advanced generator technology to the frontlines. Ranging ahead, meanwhile, are the Kyoto Fast Frigates, which excel at darting around an enemy flank and opening fire from wherever it is least expected. Whatever an Admiral’s strategy, the contents of this box will provide the perfect backbone of any fleet.

The largest vessel produced by the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, the Heilong strike battleship emphasises combined attacks with deadly rocket and Huoqiang fire to annihilate its foes. While not as large or impressive as some of the heavier Japanese vessels, the Heilong is still an impressive sight and inspires confidence in her allies and dread in her foes. A heavy assault ramp replaces the prow of the Ergun assault battleship. Volleys of alchemical rockets and gun battery fire pummel into enemy emplacements and shore defences, as the vessel closes in, then with a clash of metal, the ramp descends and the assault begins. Scores of heavy infantry pour forth to storm the defenders and sweep away all resistance. This box contains: 1x Battleship (Can be built as either a Heilong or Ergun Class ship) 1x Tianlong Draconic Colossus 1x Cruiser (Can be built as either a Jian, Wusong, Meru or Dao Class ship) 2x Gong Destroyers 2x Shanghai Class Frigates Please note: Dystopian Wars: Rules, cards, guides and instructions are digital with this product and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

It was a small unnamed island, part of an unremarkable chain. Uninhabited. If there were anyone there they would have been treated to a glorious sight. A formation of Malinois Strike Fighters soared above the battlefleet, pilots seeing far into the distance thanks to their elevated position. The triangular craft were only visible as specks by the crewmen below and would have gone unnoticed to the wildlife of the island. Even the men of the fleet who did see made no mention of it as they were far too busy preparing for the oncoming violence. Next came a squadron of Gladius Cruisers, flanked by Cestus Zebeks, livery freshly painted as a point of pride. They were swiftly followed by Pugio Destroyers, ready to change formation at a moments notice and unleash a surprising amount of firepower. After that came the flagship, a Minerva Assault Carrier, from which had launched the fighters circling overhead. She was the ‘Giornata Gloriosa’, the fluid lines of her decorated hull reflecting the sunlight. The flightdeck had more Malinois prepared to launch once the enemy was spotted while cranes and docking mechanisms were stowed away, ready to release the moment a cruiser pulled alongside for emergency repairs. Trailing behind here were Scorpio Artillery Cruisers, their Naval Ballista sitting silent, waiting for action. The parrots on the island paid no attention to the impressive sight, let alone wonder what fools had garnered the military attention of the Alliance. This box contains: 1x Minerva Assault Carrier 3x Scorpio Artillery Cruisers (may also be built as Vulcan or Jupiter Class) 3x Gladius Strike Cruisers (may also be built as Spatha, Auxillia or Pilum Class) 6x Cestus Zebeks 6x Pugio Destroyers 3x Sagitta Hunter Submarines 6x Escorts 3x SRS Tokens Please note: Dystopian Wars: Rules, cards, guides and instructions are digital with this product and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

Squadrons of deadly Rin Exosubs can launch from the Hachiman's twin magnetic accelerator tubes. These nimble automata skim the surface before plunging beneath the waves, reconfiguring into a torpedo-like form. Devastating the enemy at close range, the Exosubs rocket to the surface in flight mode and return to the Hachiman for redeployment. All the coastal nations of the Empire design, build and crew their own sea-going vessels. Osaka cruisers are a source of great pride within the Empire, and the expansion of their borders necessitates deploying them more visibly, something that has been welcomed by Japanese commanders especially. Squadrons of Chubu Hunter Submarines prowl the Sea of Japan and beyond looking for targets of opportunity. These deadly vessels are armed with multiple torpedo launchers to achieve a swift kill. The Japanese favour Kyoto fast frigates when running their patrols between the far-flung islands of their homeland. The vessels are ideally suited for this task and for new sailors a year on a Kyoto is their first experience of the proud naval traditions of the Blazing Sun. Contents: 1x Hachiman Assault Carrier (may also be built as Akita or Matsumoto Class) 3x Cruisers (may be built as Osaka, Kanagawa, Honshu, Hokkaido, Miyagi, Okinawa, Yamaguchi or Ishikawa Class) 12x Chita Automata 3x Submersibles (may be built as Koromodako, Kensai, Ryujin, Mizuchi, Umibozu or Kagutsuchi Class) 6x Kyoto Frigates 3x Chubu Submarines 3x Sakata Destroyers 3x Rin Exosub Tokens 3x SRS Tokens Please Note: Dystopian Wars: Rules, cards, guides and instructions are digital with this product and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.
