New RPG. It sounds really cool:

The Secret War Has Begun!

Achtung! Cthulhu brings you a two-fisted wartime roleplaying game setting for Call of Cthulhu and Savage Worlds, packed full of fiendish Nazi scientists, terrifying ancient mysteries, legendary German war machines, desperate partisans, gun-toting paratroopers, determined investigators, and enough writhing tentacles to pack ten Reichstags.

Great art!
Thanks for posting that,
Also savage worlds is my favorite RPG rule set, so I'm happy to see stuff like this for it.

I find the organization very confusing. So, they already have a core rules book and several mini-adventures, and the kickstarter is for expansions? It doesn't look like there is a print version of the rules available. Wouldn't that be something worth kickstarting? Also, I'm confused about the system and what they are aiming at. It looks like they are currently Savage Worlds, but also have their own system, but are also planning on supporting the Chaosium system if the Kickstarter goes beyond a certain level?  I feel like they are all over the place!  o_o

No core rulebook as originals were written for Call of Cthulhu and Savage worlds.These books are source books for setting-initially for Call of Cthulhu rules but Savage worlds when stretch goal met.As they are, you can play the 2 scenarios that are currently on release using CoC or Savage worlds rules.

Man, that art in the OP is great...as a huge fan of propaganda posters of that time, I'd love to see a half-dozen period correct posters like that...maybe re-do some famous ones.

Hi there, Achtung! Cthulhu uses the core Call of Cthulhu or Savage Worlds rules. Our first two releases were stand alone adventures with all the new rules you'd need to play with the core rules. There are print versions available at the £40 pledge on kickstarter of the new core setting books - Investigator's and Keeper's Guide

For the Kickstarter we've created the full setting books with all the specific rules for WW2 Cthulhu investigations (which include combat related stuff too) plus we'll be adding miniatures and tiles by a well known designer soon as stretch goals. The Kickstarter page does explain it well http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/achtung-cthulhu-the-ww2-keepers-and-investigators (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/achtung-cthulhu-the-ww2-keepers-and-investigators)
