Title: Wolsung: Who Plays?
Post by: nicknorthstar on June 04, 2019, 03:48:04 PM

Hi Everyone.

Are people playing Wolsung? Do they like it?

I am asking with an agenda of course.

Cheers
Nick

Soldier's Companion rules (modified by me; second version still needing to be printed) for Space 1889, as well as the ship-to-ship combat rules from Sky Galleons of Mars, all for 25/28mm figures/ships.

Is that what type of answers you were looking for, Nick?

If so, then adding to the various Martians would be a fine bunch of figures to see.  ;)

I'm just wondering how many people are playing Wolsung https://shop.microartstudio.com/en/rules/661-wolsung-steampunk-skirmish-rulebook-second-edition-9788364019081.html (https://shop.microartstudio.com/en/rules/661-wolsung-steampunk-skirmish-rulebook-second-edition-9788364019081.html) from Micro Art Studio.

I might do some work with them, I'm interested in what folks think of the game and figures.

To be honest Nic.
I didn't bother with the system.I remember reading a couple of reviews that suggested there were some very thinly veiled racist stereo types used to characterize species/races in the game.
So I stick with the old imperialism of Space 1889. I've often toyed with sculpting more Victorian sci-fi with less exposed cogs and gears (it didn't take the Victorians long to figure out they need encasing or they bugger up So I never saw the point in more advanced Victorian tech going backwards.) As I did a few bits for Dragon Bait. Which set me thinking and researching. There's definitely room for a range of practical figures not just wierd machinery.

I have no interest in the rules but was interested in the figures.  Then I was put off by the price and the fact that some figures took 'multi-part' to extremes.  Not for me Chef.

Update.

North Star won't be working with the owners of Wolsung.
