Union in Despair. Next FiveCore supplement is 2nd American civil war

[Ivan Sorensen]

Cheers all. I am pretty excited to announce that the next FiveCore expansion / campaign will be Union in Despair. Street fighting in the early days of the 2nd American civil war.

The year is 1930 and in the streets of the cities, fascists, anarchists, communists, separatist militia, gangsters and law men are fighting for control, while the national guard tries to pacify the unrest and prevent it from blowing up into wide spread warfare.

The feature list looks like:

Guard dogs (upon request)

Politically unreliable soldiers

Quick draw / gun fight mechanic

A force generator for each of the factions

A custom random mission generator with options for various civilian encounters.

Some details on street fighting.

Rules for petrol bombs, trench guns and whatnot.

I might add in 3 or so missions as well.

 

Intention is to do an add-on so you can play if you already have FiveCore or Five Men in Normandy but if anyone feels strongly it should be a separate game, let me know and I’ll consider it. My usual assumption is people don’t like paying for the same base rules again, but then, some people prefer to not have to juggle multiple things either.

This is a supplement for the FiveCore skirmish rules and is also usable if you own Five Men in Normandy.

Cool, what kind of back ground info can you leak. I already have some Silver shirts ready for some seditious actions.

May have to make some Anarchists.

I think that is just the BETA rules.
