New Project: World at War Back of Beyond

[Agis]

I am also working on a supplement covering the Interwar period armies of Central Asia!
The Back of Beyond title is a working title, I am not sure if I may get into any copyright issues by doing so...
BTW- How to contact Mr. Copplestone? I have ordered countless times via his website, but there seems to be no email address?



Army of British India Gun - Brigade Games

Anyway - what will be in the book? New or modified traits – covers all the traits you need to play with the units of this book. There are new traits (Grenades, Weak AA) to give you the “interwar feel”.
Army lists – the meat of the book – brings you the force structures and unit descriptions, pictures and stats for most of the factions involved in the troubled years between the wars in Central Asia.

Already written are the following army lists:
The Army of British India
The Bolsheviks
The Chinese Bandits
The Chinese Warlord Army
The Mad Baron’s Army
The Mongolian Tribes
The Tibetans
The White Russians

Stats for the following vehicle and air units will be also included:
Rolls-Royce Armoured Car
Lancaster 4x2 Armoured Car
Austin Armoured Car
Austin-Putilov Armoured Car
Austin-Kégresse Halftrack
Medium Mark C Tank
Vickers Medium Mk I Tank
Renault FT-17 Tank
Generic Biplane
Larger than life Characters and eccentric Equipment – special characters for all the army lists to give you even more options. Beware – some of these characters are indeed larger than life, they extend the game into a pulpier setting, away from the historical one.

Artillery Officer
Communist Demagogue
The European Spy
The Big Game Hunter
Female Adventurer
Female Scholar
Foreign Bodyguard
Foreign Mortar Supplier
German Mercenaries
Heroic Scout
Mongol Princess
Mongol Shaman
Pilot Ace
Tibetan Lama with Yeti
 


Vickers Medium Mk II
Vickers Medium Mk III
Vickers A1E1 Independent

This book will require the use of Battlefield Evolution: World at War, available from Mongoose Publishing.

There's a contact form at the bottom of the main page on the Copplestone site (just above all the little pictures of credit card symbols). I did have an email address, but it is on my old computer which isn't connected up to anything right now.

My chinese playtest army, that's around 1000pts medium sized army.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

A great bunch, Tom! Never seen before your chinese cavalry, any close-ups?

If you have any questions, do not be shy to ask...

will do, Agis.

[Mike D. Mc Brice]

The army is completely new, painted to get them on the table on short notice. They look quite all right on the pictures though.
The old army is still in the cabinet though .

[Prof.Witchheimer]

thanks, Tom, looks very nice!

Bloomin nice stuff. I will probably buy this game, and get entangled in yet another genre from the LAF.

The last couple of days I was writing a bit more on the historical background, while doing so I realized that the book would not be complete without the Basmachi and the possibiliyt to field a Turkish adviced army (Enver Pasha!).
So another army list will be included as well: The Basmachi!
I have to stop soon otherwise the book will get too big...

[Admiral Benbow]

Really interesting project, Agis, I will follow this regularly.
