The seas of Dystopian Wars have come to life with activity as the new edition of Dystopian Wars will soon be yours.
We’re thrilled to fully announce the new edition of Dystopian Wars! We know that all you admirals have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the new edition, thanks to our Development Diary blog series, but all that’s left to showcase is the range of launch products on offer.
The best way to get your fleets up to date is the new Dystopian Wars: Rules & Gubbins Set. This set contains all you need to bring your ships into the latest edition, with the Rule Book and Victory & Valour Card Deck (both also available separately for launch), Measuring Tools and Objectives, Action & Critical Damage Dice, Token Sets and the new Multi-Faction Add-Ons.
But that’s not all, the Alliance make their debut in Armoured Clash in mid October, just a couple of weeks after the launch of the new edition of Dystopian Wars. Consisting of the Republique of France, League of Italian States, the Sovereignty of Spain, the Kingdom of Portugal and the Socialist Unity of South America, the Alliance are a force to be reckoned with. You will soon be able to field your own Alliance force with the new Alliance Faction Battlegroup, Introductory Set, Malinois Interdictor and Command and Conquest cards.

Dystopian Wars: Rule Book
Everywhere, conflict reigns. And as the nations of the world vie for control of territories across the globe, squadrons of warships and monstrous dreadnoughts sail forth, the pinnacle of these Great Powers’ naval might. And while onslaughts of apocalyptic firepower tear apart the seas, in this bold new era, warfare is not restricted to the waves alone. In the skies above, bizarre airborne craft, some sleek and nimble, others bloated and ponderous, duel with one another and with the ships on the surface below. Lurking out of sight beneath the waves, meanwhile, packs of underwater marauders reduce their unsuspecting quarry to sinking wrecks before retreating to the depths once more.
As the curtain begins to fall on the nineteenth century, the world is on the brink of war! The Dystopian Age has begun.
Within this book, you will find the Core Rules for Dystopian Wars, a naval tabletop miniatures wargame that uses highly detailed miniatures to represent the frigates, cruisers, and flagships you will field upon the waves. Alongside the rules, images from a stunning miniatures range, and comprehensive lore regarding The Dystopian Age and its Great Powers, with gorgeous artwork throughout that will help you feel the thunder of cannon and the spray of the sea.

Dystopian Wars: Victory & Valour Deck
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 and, ultimately, winning the game. From destroying specific enemy units to claiming strategic locations in the play area, using these can be key to victory.
If you want to keep your opponent on their toes, you might want to use the Valour Effects. These are immediate buffs and bonuses which can help with positioning your units, allow you to roll extra attack dice, and more.
Whichever way you choose to use your cards, it closes the door on the other, so choose wisely! The values on the cards are also used for making Crew checks, determining initiative, and other pivotal events in your game. Mastering the Victory & Valour deck is vital to mastering the game of Dystopian Wars.

Armoured Clash
Under the banner of Prince-President Bonaparte, the Alliance march against the other Great Powers. Uniting the Republique of France with the League of Italian States, the Sovereignty of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal, as well as the Socialist Unity of South America, this unlikely conglomerate is a young and potent threat.

Alliance Faction Battlegroup - Starter Set
The Alliance Faction Battlegroup - Starter Set contains everything you need to begin playing games of Armoured Clash as the general of an Alliance force.
Sitting at the heart of their military, the great Ghent Landfortress is as defendable as any castle, providing firepower from its battlements and transportation within its mobile walls for the many and varied forces the Alliance fields.
Hailing from South America, SUSA Ordenanzas are the faithful backbone of the Alliance infantry, charging into battle alongside priests and chaplains. Scouting ahead, Alpini Rangers lead their allies through all but the most treacherous terrain and leave traps for their enemies, while Becerillo War Dogs tear apart those brave or foolish enough to get too close to their metal jaws.
Meanwhile, as Globonauta Snipers pick off enemies from their dirigibles, proud Destreza Bladestriders carve through infantry like butter.
Great Drop Capsules pummel the earth apart from on high, unloading units of elite French Legionnaires, equipped with devastating heat weaponry.
Bersaglieri Outriders sweep in from a flank, accompanied by the distant roar of Navarre Artillery Tanks, and soaring away as soon as their targets have been eliminated.
In addition to the models for your chosen faction, you will also find all the tools you need to play, from the immersive book of Core Rules, to custom Attack Dice and a full Command & Conquest Deck of cards to help you perform daring gambits and score Victory Points to win the game.

Upon the field of battle, troops march forward and engines of war let loose volleys of death upon the enemy, each acting under the orders and strategic acumen of their Generals. In battle, these take the form of your Command & Conquest Deck.
In games of Armoured Clash these faction-themed cards allow players to issue Commands, claim Conquests, and score Victory Points. In short, they are a General's key to victory. But use them wisely. For your enemy will have these same tools at their command...
