1 DYSTOPIAN PRUSSIAN WARS CAMPAIGN EMPIRE BOOK 4 DWCB03 DWPE Operation Raiding Flotilla Sirocco Early 1872: the World War roars into North and East Africa. The Republique of France prepares to launch its forces across the Mediterranean to capture, and secure, the resource-rich territories of Western New Carthage with the help of its Prussian and Italian allies. But this will not be an easy task; the Kingdom of Britannia has reinforced its garrisons in the region, drawing in divisions from the far corners of the Empire. With the Ottoman Empire having pledged to join the Imperial Bond, the Britannians have sent an expeditionary force northwards into the Red Sea and the Ottoman East African territories. And in the mysterious lands around the upper Nile a secret mission is underway by forces of the Covenant of Antarctica. The western Mediterranean and Red Seas have become cauldrons of chaos as mighty armies and fleets fight to the death. Our latest Dystopian Wars book details this exciting campaign and delivers nine exciting scenarios that play out key moments of the narrative. This book also sees the first physical print of the exciting Armoured Clash ground combat rules. Designed to make battles between vast Brigades of Tanks and Land Ships faster and deadlier, this new system allows you to easily play out the most titanic engagements, like those described in Operation Sirocco.

Deadly new submarines are coming off the slips to augment the veteran Vanguards in the fight against the Imperial Bond. The most powerful of these is the massive Vengeance Class; a true underwater Battleship, this mighty craft is capable of devastating enemy warships with massed torpedoes and hull-shredding saw-blades. Supported by squadrons of swift Valiant Class Submarines, experts in co-ordinated strikes on enemy shipping, and Dominion Class Support Cruisers to find and fix targets, a Wolf Pack can cripple an enemy convoy without their desperate foes knowing what hit them.

Combining the well-tried power of Tesla weaponry with the new concept of submarine warfare, the mighty Sturmbringer Class Submarine mounts a fearsome new bombardment weapon which hurls warheads primed to explode with devastating electrical shockwaves. In turn the Donnerfaust Support Cruiser houses ranks of lethal Speerschleuder harpoon launchers, while flights of Zerstörer Bombers pepper targets with clusters of charged Speerschleuder darts. Five acrylic flight stands included.

At its core is the gigantic New Orleans Class HQ Large Airship, capable of flying at spectacularly low levels and carrying the resources to affect repairs upon any damaged FSA war machine. However, it is not simply a mobile repair platform: the New Orleans is armed with enough firepower to make any would be attackers regret their rashness! Alongside the big airship come a series of specialised low-altitude combat aircraft: the sturdy PYB-2 Class Sea Plane and the swift A-3 Strike Bomber. Ten acrylic flight stands included.

With a relatively small military engaged on multiple fronts, the Blazing Sun Empire places great faith in disruption, sabotage and fear against numerically superior enemies. At the heart of its latest military developments is the impressive Raijin Class HQ War Gyro, combining immense firepower with a new Node Projector to disrupt enemy generators over great distances. Backed up by Arashi Class Support Cruisers that unleash torrents of Burning Crane rockets, and shoals of ferocious Zarigani Class Small Robots, this Strike Flotilla will sow chaos and disarray throughout an enemy s formations.

Made up of some of the most potent warships in the service of the Tsar, Battle Flotillas are deployed wherever the fighting is at its thickest. In battle, the mighty Moskva Class Dreadnought and Tambov Class Gunships charge onward, all but immune to enemy shellfire, hell-bent on bringing their colossal smoothbore guns to bear, whilst all round them the nimble Rostov Class Destroyers and Pesets Class Submarines nip and pick at the enemy, driving them towards the gaping maw of Tsarist firepower.

Colossal Orlov Class Heavy Tanks, each almost a land ship in its own right, lead this formation into battle - deadly and impervious to attack. Emerging from their wake are the Poltava Class Light Tanks; fast, nimble and armed to the gunnels, they break from cover, blasting anything that remains. Further afield, Minsk Class Tank Destroyers support the advance, their deadly guns laying waste to the enemy. Ten acrylic bases included.

Able to navigate the very strata of the earth itself, Vorkuta Class Drillers add an additional trick to any Russian Commander s arsenal, deploying their precious Tikhvin Class Small Tank cargo wherever it is needed with little chance of interception. All the while, dispersed amongst the massed armoured formations are the Tyumen Class Repair Vehicles.

Nine acrylic flight stands included.

11 PRUSSIAN COALITION EMPIRE DWRC47 DWPE42 - Ground - Raiding Fortifications Flotilla 2 x Tower Sets 1 x Bunker Complex Multiple resin drop-ons included Inside this box are Russian Coalition Ground Fortifications.
