REBELION 21

[Korwin Miniatures]

Watching news about Ukraine crisis and Arab Spring I started to write rules for playing campaign game based in modern country. I want to post here text of the rulebook as I am writing it. I will welcome all comments and will be grateful for them. Hopefully it will help me to write good ruleset. I am planing to be available for free online. If I will manage to make printed version that will probably has to cost something.

Acknowledgement
I would like acknowledge the tragedies of people involved in conflicts which were inspiration for this game. My best wish would be that all conflicts could be resolved on the tabletop and with only victims being miniatures.
I want also to thank all of the authors of pictures used in this book for risking their lives to make them.

1. Introduction
REBELION 21 is a strategy game with elements of economy and tactic.
Game is designed from 2 to 4 players. Additionally can be played with Game Master (GM) who is referee (umpire) of the game. Players can create alliances during the game. They can brake them at any time if they feel it will help them to win the game.

Winner of the game is player who has more victory points (VP) at the end of the game.

Players are taking role of the 21st century politicians - members of parliament in country in crisis. Story is mainly based on crisis in Ukraine in 2014 but it can be transfer to replay on the table many other conflicts, for example the Arab Spring revolutions.

The first scenario represent struggle inside of the parliament where politicians from different parties and regions of the country try to fulfil their ambitions. The winner will became the prime minister and his allies members of government. The losers will became opposition.
Scenario introduce basic mechanics of the game, character creation, rules of movement, fight and persuasion and calculation of victory point.

The second scenario is placed outside of the parliament. There are masses of people gathered there who wants more changes. Each side can gather their supporters and can try to convince to their side others. Tensions run high and riot is almost unavoidable. Who win the street can force himself onto the power. Winner of that scenario became the prime minister and his allies members of government. The losers will became opposition.
Scenario introduce additional mechanics of the game, additional actions, riots related equipment and skills.

The third scenario introduce bigger area of the city where fighting is spilling. This are rules for campaign gaming on the map divided into smaller squares. It is also introducing equipment and skills related to the military, paramilitary and special forces. The campaign will be the most interesting if run by Game Master.

2. From words to fists

You are chosen by you region to represent it in the parliament. You managed to hide your real ambitions under previous government. Now country is in turmoil and old regime is struggling.
Your time is now! Your country needs you. 
Gather your supporters, win the majority in the parliament and create new government. If only those other pseudo-politicians could understand that only way for the country is your way. Try to explain that to them. If you get to microphone everybody will hear you. Sometimes few punches on the way may save country from those traitors.

Each player has 20 Silvers at the start to prepare his Boss to represent him in the game. This figure will be called Boss in this rules. If the Boss die in the game player can not continue and has to wait till other players finished the game. Then he can calculate his position in the ranking.

Players can spend remaining of this 20 Silvers on more models for their Bands or keep them as cash. In that case players should have models or tokens representing their cash in the game.

To create Boss character and other members of the Band players can use character creation section.

When all players have their band lists and figures ready they can start the game.
