For over a century, Crown engineering has led the world, their naval superiority rightfully earning them control of the seas. That control, however, has been slipping for some time, and while her fleets are still numerous the Crown's dominance is no longer assured.

This Faction Battlefleet allows players to begin or expand their Dystopian Wars collections with minimal fuss. From a flagship option of Sabre Command Cruisers to the reliable Albion Cruisers. They can be supported by Caliburn Frigates, skirting islands with their shallow draught, or Excalibur Heavy Destroyers with firepower belying their small size. The Crown has access to dependable vessels and the technological marvel known as the Guardian Generator. This provides an aegis of protection as powerful as the Pax Britannia and has been the saviour of many of Her Majesty's sailors.

Dystopian Wars is a naval tabletop wargame that uses highly detailed miniatures to represent huge engines of destruction on, above, and below the high seas. Set in the Dystopian Age, an alternate late-nineteenth century of our own world, the Great Powers of the globe use super-science and alien engineering as they clash over resources and power. Battleships and cruisers sail the surface of the sea while sky fortresses and dirigibles soar in the sky above. Submarines lurk beneath the waves alongside squid automata and colossal mechanical knights. Fighters and bombers circle, waiting to dive upon their prey. All of this combines for an intense, tactical experience.

Contents:

• 3x Caliburn Frigates (may also be built as Excalibur Heavy Destroyers)
• 3x Albion Cruisers (may also be built as Lancelot Heavy Cruisers, Picton Light Cruiser, Bedivere Monitor, Sabre Command Cruiser, Hotspur Carrier or Igraine Cruiser
• 6x Escort Tokens
• 3x SRS Tokens

Dystopian Wars is a tabletop wargame of naval battles that uses highly detailed miniatures to represent huge engines of destruction on, above, and below the high seas. Set in an alternate late-nineteenth century called the Dystopian Age, super-science fuelled nations clash over resources and power. Battleships and cruisers sail the surface of the sea while sky fortresses and dirigibles soar in the sky above. Submarines lurk beneath the waves alongside squid automata and colossal mechs. Fighters and bombers circle, waiting to dive upon their prey. All of this combines for an intense, tactical experience.

The Rules and Gubbins set is perfect for players old and new, containing almost everything you need to play, barring an opponent and a fleet of your very own. Action Dice will allow you to roll all of your fleet's attacks and defensive measures, while Critical Damage Dice will determine exactly where and how your enemies' models suffer from your overwhelming firepower. The Victory & Valour Deck is critical to play, from making vital Crew checks to scoring Victory Points and making bold plays via valour effects. Numerous tokens and markers will allow you to absorb the state of the game at a glance. Measuring tools provide ranges and allow your enormous warships to turn with the appropriate grace. The Rulebook, meanwhile, will be your best friend, easily readable and full of cross references to help you find exactly what you need, when you need it.

Everywhere, conflict reigns. And as the nations of the world vie for control of territories across the globe, squadrons of warships and monstrous dreadnoughts sail forth, the pinnacle of these Great Powers’ naval might. And while onslaughts of apocalyptic firepower tear apart the seas, in this bold new era, warfare is not restricted to the waves alone. In the skies above, bizarre airborne craft, some sleek and nimble, others bloated and ponderous, duel with one another and with the ships on the surface below. Lurking out of sight beneath the waves, meanwhile, packs of underwater marauders reduce their unsuspecting quarry to sinking wrecks before retreating to the depths once more.

As the curtain begins to fall on the nineteenth century, the world is on the brink of war!
The Dystopian Age has begun.

Within this book, you will find the Core Rules for Dystopian Wars, a naval tabletop miniatures wargame that uses highly detailed miniatures to represent the frigates, cruisers, and flagships you will field upon the waves. Alongside the rules, images from a stunning miniatures range, and comprehensive lore regarding The Dystopian Age and its Great Powers, with gorgeous artwork throughout that will help you feel the thunder of cannon and the spray of the sea.

The Alliance may be the youngest of the Great Powers but the uniting of the Rebublique of France, the League of Italian States, the Sovereignty of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal cannot be ignored. With the addition of the Socialist Unity of South America (SUSA), the time has come for President Bonaparte to take his place on the world stage.

SUSA lacks the infrastructure to create new capital ships, however, they have enough Alliance support and local ingenuity and skill to heavily retrofit obsolete Pensacola-class battlecruisers. While pairs are acceptable to lead SUSA battlefleets, the Salvador-class's lack of advanced command and control facilities relegates them to supporting roles in combined fleet actions.

The Francisco-class was the brainchild of Trajano Augusto de Carvalho. After he obtained one of the Alliance's Solex Generators, he spent many months incorporating the massive device into a Pensacola-class battlecruiser hull. With this extraordinary marvel at its heart, the newly dubbed Francisco-class sports a pair of deadly heat lances and lancettes - a lethal surprise for the Alliance's enemies.

This box contains:

• 2 x Salvador Class Battlecruiser. (Each Battlecruiser can alternatively be built as Francisco Class Battlecruiser).

This Battlefleet Set for Dystopian Wars is an excellent way for a Union or Alliance player to include a relic of the Ore War in their fleet. The Gotham Littoral Fleet Carrier was rightly feared during the bloody conflicts of the Ore War. Despite its size, the shallow draught allowed it to access coastlines, estuaries and the larger rivers of the Americas. Its complement of Talon Autogyros allowed Terminators and Pacifiers to make lightning strikes against enemies who believed themselves to be completely safe. Accompanied by Gettysburg Heavy Monitors and Springfield Corvettes, as well as numerous escorts, the Gotham and its entourage resemble nothing short of a coastal fort set adrift from the land, its edifice sailing forth across the waves ready to assault more stationary targets. At the height of the Ore War, it was the terror of the coast and even now, years later, it still elicits fear in the enemies of the Union.

Contents:

• 1x Gotham Littoral Fleet Carrier
• 2x Ore War Cruisers
  • (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Gettysburg, Providence Class)
• 4x Springfield Corvette
• 4x Escorts
• 2x Talon Tokens

As the squadron of Levant skimmers passed by the port, they forced a spray of seawater into mist with their repulsor generators. A sparkle of rainbow light delighted everyone who saw it. The same sunshine glimmered off gold filigree that was yet to be damaged in combat. They were a glorious sight, inspiring awe in all those who were gathered at the dockside. It was no secret that these support cruisers were passing by while gaining additional supplies before they left France for whichever exotic sea needed protection in the name of the glorious Latin Alliance. It was a humble crowd of fishermen, their families and the everyday folk that kept this small town running from day to day. Carpenters, shopkeepers, and technicians who kept everything ticking over. It wasn’t often that they saw anything from the navy pass by so children had made pennants and bunting to wave the hovering vessels off. These were support cruisers themselves. Gascony and Alma class cruisers made sure the warships could do their job serving the Alliance's many outposts spread across the globe. Theirs was not the glory of combat but a job just as important. It was no accident that they had been ordered to stock up supplies here, the many publicists in service to Napoleon III knew the importance of keeping up the morale of the common man.

• 2x Dieppe Levant Cruiser (may also be built as Alma, Lyon, Marseille or Gascony Class)
• 2x Honneur Levant Destroyer

Huge mechanical constructions lay immobile at the bottom of the sea. The darkness, only occasionally broken by the bioluminescence of strange creatures never seen by man. Uncategorised organisms began to converge, drawn in by the only source of heat for miles around. Crustacea gently crawled across the surface of the metallic things, testing to see if this was an unusual form of whale fall. With no food to be found, the gathering was small. There was no meaning here, base forms of life acted purely on instinct, akin to windup toys, simply performing the mechanical tasks of survival. The metal knew nothing, it merely was. Deep within giant carapaces a kind of survival was also happening. RJ-1027 pulsed through tubes which heated steam to create pressure in pistons that in turn prevented the ember of readiness from being extinguished in this dark place. A living thing might have been considered to be waiting had it been alive but instead, it was only being, until something else impelled its motion. Time passed.

Without warning, the great steel worms began to move. Gentle at first as they performed diagnostics, checking for damage or inoperative parts. Then the surroundings were suffused with a green glow as they powered up fully, bafflingly complex if/then mechanisms reacting to the commands given by an Enlightened vessel, unseen on the surface. Had someone seen it they might have been fooled into thinking these colossi were alive, they were designed to appear so, after all. Engines urged them forward within hours they would be involved in a violence that would cut the meaning from scores of human lives. Others would never forget the terrifying forms of the Aronnax as they bore down upon their ships, massive jaws tearing through hulls with ease. Stories of sea beasts would chill the hearts of those who heard them but the metal things would have no opinion of any of it. They were simply tools, used as any others by the all too human Covenant of the Enlightened.

Despite orders to the contrary, Captain Vanya Sokolov gave the command to push forward to attack the flank of the Diyu class vessel ahead. After months patrolling the Sea of Okhotsk finally, there was action and an enemy to fight. If he achieved the first kill, it would only be a matter of time before a promotion was due. Surely the cursed Commodore Belyaev only wanted him to hold back so that he could get the honour of first blood. Captain Sokolov couldn’t help but admire the craftsmanship of the Diyu as he closed the distance. The jade green tiles that covered the roofs, ornamental dragonheads cast onto the muzzles of guns and the rich golden lacquer made the Empire ships look like works of art, glinting in the sun. Sokolov vowed to take one as a prize and gave orders to flank the squadron of Diyu and prepare the marines for boarding. As the Kutsov under his command broke formation he could almost hear the cheers he’d receive once this battle was over. Soon, the reverie was blown away as the Empire ships began to turn on the spot, a manoeuvre impossible for the Commonwealth ships. It was then that Captain Sokolov realised that his pride had come before his fall and he slipped back into his chair with resignation. His last thought was a prayer of forgiveness before he and the scores of men under his command were engulfed in alchemical flame.

Contents:

• 2x Diyu Immolation Cruisers (may also be built as Yaoji, Mekong, Wuhan, Lantau or Qiang Class)

The Vauban is the largest and the oldest of the early generation levant vessels still in service to the Republique. Photojournalists at the time of her launch captured the Vauban in the imagination of the French people. An indelible image is left of an engineering marvel hanging majestically low in the sky, sending waves of her heroic fighters and bombers to victory.

It is said that in the weeks following the public showing of the first Vauban Sky -Fortress, French military recruitment centres reported a 22% increase in people signing up. Requests for an assignment within the Service Aeronautique were so prevalent that public relations officers had to be brought in to veer the public into positions that were more needed. Young recruits were persuaded into infantry roles with the promise that it might lead to an assault position on a Levant cruiser with promotion to a Vauban on the horizon. These things, while certainly possible, were in reality quite unlikely.

Many a lucky pilot would rise to the fortunate position of crewing a Frelon Bomber. These incredible aircraft seem impossibly large when standing next to one, so much so that the wings were designed to fold in order to fit them aboard carriers; even the mighty Vauban can only carry limited squadrons. The significant payload of the Frelon bomber allows them to cause serious damage to enemy fortifications as well as the largest capital ships and armoured divisions.

Now the Vauban has the reputation of having the best of the best crews among the Service Aeronautique. While a small percentage of those original recruits have found their way to their dream positions, those that have got there have done so with hard work, dedication, and a not-insignificant amount of luck. This luck has rubbed off on the Vauban class, with each one having a story of defeating seemingly insurmountable odds. At least, that’s what the publicists say.

Contents:

• 1x Vauban Sky Fortress
• 2x Chasseur Levant Cruiser (may also be built as Furieux or Voliere Class ship)
• 2x Dieppe Levant Cruiser (may also be built as Alma, Marseille or Gascony Class)
• 2x Epaulard Artillery Submarine (may also be built as Sirene Class)
• 6x Honneur Levant Destroyer

The military optimism of the Union is exemplified by their enthusiastic bellows whenever a Union dirigible passes overhead. I’ve had multiple reports from assets placed in vital positions describing their, please excuse the term, “hooting and hollering”. Of course, it shows a lack of engineering skill that they aren’t simply appalled by the reliance on newfangled airship designs over our vastly superior, tried-and-tested rotorcraft. Admittedly they seem to be doing well spreading their influence thanks to the smaller fuel requirements of those designs, but I have no doubt that a minor rerouting of supply lines will remedy the problem. We simply have to make recommendations to any of our forces that they should make an effort to destroy any Bogota Carryalls which accompany the airships so as to cause problems with their logistics. I understand that won’t be easy while taking fire from the airships themselves, but my suggestions certainly make theoretical sense.

The Ergun Assault Battleship has no peer when it comes to leading landing operations. Most naval forces believe in the idea of multiple, smaller vessels. Admitting that while they may lose some, they can’t lose them all. The Emperor believes that losing troops before they’ve even made landfall is madness. To this end, the Empire built the Ergun. A resilient battleship that can take the fire of coastal defences before reaching its target. Volleys of alchemical rockets and gun battery fire pummel into enemy emplacements and shore defences as the vessel closes in. This makes the Ergun a huge target for fire which canny Commodores can make use of by setting up feints and counterattacks. This helps to mitigate the damage taken by the Assault battleship before it reaches the shoreline. Then with a clash of metal, the ramp descends and the assault begins. Once the troops have disembarked the paddlewheels easily extricate the behemoth from the land and back to sea, all the better to support the troops from afar.

The Khodynka Heavy Skycruiser “Nebesnaya Gora” hung in the sky, defiant against the laws of nature. Ablative armour plates had been blown off and small fires were being extinguished by weary skymen. The engine at the heart of the beast rumbled on, with nothing but the occasional splutter to suggest there was anything wrong at all. The Commonwealth fleet had been ambushed while making routine patrols around the Barents Sea, The Scions of Jutland had appeared like wolves in the night and unleashed a stream of rockets that would have obliterated a lesser vessel. Only the crew of Nebesnaya Gora understood that this night would be a loss to the Scions. Steel, molten from the intense heat of the barrage fell from the sky and yet the Khodynka remained in the air, only having lost redundant systems and armour designed to fail without letting worse damage through. As the battle went on, more damage was sustained by both sides. Scions and Commonwealth crew alike sharing a freezing tomb. Only the Nebesnaya Gora remained, damaged but stoic and impressively, still airborne.

Given that airships are spotted from a greater distance than surface vessels, the crews that spy them tend to have an extended time in which to panic before their aerial opponents move in for the kill. This is doubly true for Nasr Skyships and their variant classes. Along with smaller Hirka and Alsaqr machines, these could be from the Sultanate or the Crimson League. Either allegiance will imbue dread upon their enemies for different reasons. The Sultanate sky navy has well trained marines, fighting for the glory of their Great Power. The other foe, equally as terrifying, is the Crimson League of Scheherazade. A bloodthirsty band of pirates whose Janissary assault troops seize whatever goods they can find and give no quarter. Occasionally, Skyships are equipped with underslung Sabiha attack fighters that are released to destroy ship defences and 'soften up targets' before the rest of the fleet arrive.

"Working in the merchant navy has always been tough but now it's worse than ever! Used to be we'd have to cope with months away from home, the physical labour of dealing with cargo and whatever wet hell the weather could throw at us. I've lost too many mates off the cape and had to tell their families the news without everything else that's been going on these last few years. More and more of our jobs have needed military escorts to keep us from being boarded by sky pirates and the like. I've seen huge mechanical squid in the Bay of Bengal, been attacked by great hovering discs of steel in the South Atlantic and even huge metal men flying across the Mediterranean. Don't let them fool you, it's getting harder and harder to be an honest sailor. I'm getting too old for this nonsense!"
