Trench Crusade: Neues Spiel angekündigt

Tuomas Pirinen, einer der Designer hinter Mortheim, hat ein neues düsteres Tabletop angekündigt.

Psst, I have some news for you!

I hereby announce that I am working on a new Miniature Skirmish wargame, called the Trench Crusade! For the last 6 months I have been collaborating with Mike Franchina (the artist) and James Sheriff (the sculptor) to bring this game to you. The world of Trench Crusade and the accompanying miniature range were already a successful Kickstarter, so when I was asked to write the rules for a skirmish game set in this world in the grand tradition of Mordheim, I simply had to say yes!

The game is set in an alternate timeline where the Crusades never ended, as the armed forces of Hell manifested themselves on Earth and begun a war against humanity as a whole. The mankind has rallied in a global holy war and halted the advance of the seemingly inexhaustible legions of the Damned, and now trench warfare rages across vast swathes of pockmarked Europe. It is the year of our Lord 1914, where the armies of World War I, bolstered by the divine powers wage endless battle to stop the Legions of the Archdevils from overwhelming the Earth. Heroes arise on both sides: Heroes of Heaven, and Heroes of Hell. Welcome to Trench Crusade!

So if you are looking for some old-skool, grimdark skirmish action with full campaign rules that is set in a fascinating sci-fi setting, this game will be right up your alley!

As a side note, as you might remember I have been working on another tabletop game, fantasy mass battle system “Tactica”. This game is finished, and just needs some editorial touches (anyone want to help me with that? ), but I felt that I should not focus on two games at the same time, so I’ve thrown all my free time to get Trench Crusade manuscript done as quickly as possible.
