Naran FUTURE WARS is the futuristic-sci-fi variant, we realized, of the wargame FANTASY WARRIORS, with which you may simulate battles with miniatures 28 mm, produced by any company, in scenarios set in a fantasy galaxy called NARAN, of our own creation.
The "Immagini" ("Image") page - "Battaglia" (Battles) - the sub-section "Space Opera" - has been updated with pictures of the scenery "raid on Vladimirskaya Oblast: Asgardians against Vareghi, we played at the Ludoteca San Giocondo - Via Luini 195 - Turin, at the "Open Day Science Fiction" organized by the club Una-Mole-di-dadi: see also the "Events" page at the home page of our Naran's site.
The plot:
Vladimirskaya Oblast, in the language of Vareghi means "the region of Vladimir," was an ancient region on the planet Naran of the Varegian Empire, which included the important cities of Vladimir and Suzdal. This name was given to a solar system occupied by Varegians (Vareghi) in their conquest of the galaxy in a sector of Naran, which was found a planet suitable for human life ecologically, who had the distinction of being surrounded by a ring of giant asteroids, similar to of small moons, on which were found rich deposits of precious metals, including many state of pure gold.
The Vareghi founded on the planet, named Vladimir, the homonymous colony and built a great city, which gave the name of Suzdal, in honor and memory of the ancient fortified village that stood on their home planet. To the ring of asteroids, that surround Vladimir, was given the name "Golden Ring of Vladimir": Vladimir Zolotoe kol'tso.
The mineral wealth extracted from the soil of the asteroids, that make up the gold ring, are a strong attraction for the Galactic Pirates and warriors of other peoples of the Galaxy, first among them the Asgardians, whose territory borders are nearer to that of the Empire of Vareghi.
In many cases, clan leaders of the Asgardians organize fast raids on Vladimir, to seize as much gold as they can to take on board their fast ships with the forward feature in the shape of the mythical dragon. These raids are carried out mostly in desert areas, where there are deposits of precious minerals, stored before being sent to factories addressed. The decision to build up these deposits in desert and uninhabited areas are due to security reasons.
This raid is therefore one of many that will happen for a long time on Vladimir, in an area where there is a deposit of valuable minerals, in which they are the ruins of a former industrial site that was destroyed by a previous assault.
Will the Asgardians to carry out their business?
Or will the security forces of Vareghi who are able to repel the attackers before they manage to get hold of the loot?
The raid of the Asgardians was rejected by the Vareghi, but they paid a high price in blood. Decisive elements proved to be the two powerful armored vehicles that Vareghi had at their disposal, against which the weapons of the assailants have proved totally ineffective: a grave mistake committed by the asgardian Commander, who had not with him heavy anti-tank weapon. Were seen as putting things, the viking pirate chief has prudently considered appropriate to order a strategic retreat, before being completely overrun by the above mentioned two powerful armored vehicles of Vareghi.
Before seven game turns, the match ended in a draw, with a slight difference in points in favor of the Asgardians.
But it may be that the Asgardians will return again soon on planet Vladimir, the next time even with the anti-tank weapons!
We played with two armies of 2500 points each. Vareghi also deployed a unit of Spetsnaz Orcs (K-FORCE miniatures - ex Grenadier).
