Our first Dystopian Wars land battles


Recently, we've set foot ashore in Dystopian Wars and played our first air/ground battles. So far, The Polish-Lithuanian Coalition has faced Prussian and Republique of France forces.

The ground battles proved to be even bloodier than the naval battles. The movement is more straightforward, with models using 45° turns and small tanks having the liberty of 360° movement.

Terrain and shielding becomes even more important, aggression is rewarded. We already have a nice variety of forces involved, with Bombards, Metzgers and other robots and medium tanks ranging from bombards to the brutish Orlov tank. The Russian Coalition's Vorkuta Driller proved a very nasty surprise for the Prussians in our first battle.

These ground units were joined by aerial units that we already knew well. Two Sky Fortesses, a Tourbillon, some Zeppelins and Merlin interceptors all featured in the skies above our battlefields.
