- Real Weapons
A Landships! Expansion Module
REAL WEAPONS will be the final module in the award winning Landships!
design. Unlike the first two, Real Weapons focuses on the major
developments in war technology from 1936-41. During this small
slice of time, major technological changes occurred to tanks
and aircraft. This module will use the maps from both Landships!
and Infernal Machines, but adds an additional 200+ counters (covering
the BF109, Ju87, HEIII, T26B, BT5, BA 10, CV35, T34A, Pz I, PzIl,
and PzIll to name but a few new weapons), a map section of its
own, and new rules to cover the new technology. The game system
uses a new, more intricate system to simulate modern aircraft
and armor.
-
- The scenarios, like in the previous
games, are the heart of the matter. Like its predecessor, they
are based on historical battles. Here, for the first time, the
Spanish Civil War receives a long-overdue focus, with numerous
scenarios involving tanks and the dreaded 88L56 multipurpose
gun. Also covered are: The Finnish War; Zhukov in the Far East;
the first encounters of the Germans with the KV-1 and T34A in
1941; the French in 1940 Indochina,; the Campaign for France
in 1940; and Panzers in Norway.
-
- Real Weapons is fully designed.
The maps have been drawn, as have the counters. Upon receiving
orders for 300 copies, production will commence. Checks will
not be deposited or credit cards charged until the module ships.
