(KICKSTARTER) Dread Not! a WW1 naval wargame by Dobbies Hobbies
« on: 16 February 2024, 06:35:00 PM »
Hey everyone!

Just want to let everyone know about a new kickstarter that will be released on March 1st. Over the last year, we've been working on a World War One naval wargame which can be used to recreate smaller squadron engagements (Such as Coronel or Falklands) all the way up to large fleet engagements and we are ready to release it!

'Dread Not!' Is a face paced wargame with signicifant tactical complexity but without the rules bloat that so many games have. This allows players to take control of fleets with 10-20+ ships aside and still finish a game within an evening. For players who don't want to play strictly historical scensrios, the game has a fleet building mechanic which forces players to build balanced fleets due to a 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' mechanic. This means that large capitial ships are effective against other large ships and cruisers while crusiers are effective against destroyers and destroyers are effective against large ships.

We are also working with War Times Journal to provide a complete range of miniatures as well.

Check out the launch page at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dobbieshobbies/dread-not?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=Dread%20not

You can also follow our progress on Facebook by liking the Dobbies Hobbies page.

Cheers!

Thank you! Within the first 48hrs, I'm happy to say we've already crushed our funding goal with an impressive 239% funded!

We've hit our first two stretch goals, and we're on our way to smash our 3rd any moment now!
