The Imperium warmachine is built upon a single concept - efficiency. Having the right weaponry for an engagement is often the key to victory and having access to all manner of different ship configurations allows an Admiral access to what she needs, when she needs it. With widespread rail networks extending from Prussia to the other Germanic nations of the Imperium, the navy (known as the Kaiserliche Marine) decided to equip a new generation of warships and support vessels with compatible gauge rails to allow weaponry and goods to be easily changed in short order. This allows the Imperium to be responsive to the needs of the operation at hand without having to go to the cost or lengthy construction times of creating specific ships to fill those requirements. Should a vessel be needed to bombard an enemy shore battery, then a Blucher cruiser can be modified to create an Augustus Bombardment Cruiser in less than a day. At the Wilhelmshaven Imperial Shipyard, the record stands for the refitting of the warship Stralsund. The cruiser had arrived fresh from hunting corsairs off the coast of Heligoland three hours earlier. In those few hours the yard crew removed her (still steaming) Volt Gun Batteries and installed a Gustav Heavy Bombard in their place.

Over a hundred and fifty Elector-type hulls have been constructed from the fleet yards at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven. Many of these operate today as Elector class Battleships, the mainstay of the Imperium navy. One in ten Elector hulls are of a suitable quality for further reinforcement and outfitting to become a Kaiser class Heavy Battleship. Often the last thing seen by a target abeam of these vessels, the Kaiser’s Salute is a full volley from her Heavy Volt Gun Batteries to Port or Starboard. Some vessels, such as the Heidelberg Class Battlecruiser carry their own locomotives with them in order to ensure fast and efficient loading, unloading and refitting at whatever port they visit. In addition to this pair of Bavarian Adler class engines, Heidelberg Battlecruisers have expansive logistics staff and control centres to help conduct successful military operations.

• 1x Elector Class Battleship (Each Battleship can alternatively be built as either SMS Brandenburg, Heidelberg, SMS Holtzendorff, Kaiser or SMS Tirpitz Class)

Tempered by revolution, civil war and failed conquests; forged in the fires of invasion and the minds of brilliant men and women, the Commonwealth stands as a beacon of hope to oppressed humanity. A democracy that stretches from the industrial centres of Poland-Lithuania to the snowy wastes of Siberia and the steppes of Mongolia, the Commonwealth’s people come from a hundred or more cultures and groups but are united by the loyalty to their state and the Tsar who safeguards it. Required to serve their country and fellow-citizens in whatever capacity they can, the Commonwealth can call upon huge reserves of strength to ensure its survival and prosperity. Enriched by the technological bounties rested from the jealous hands of those who sought to manipulate the world, the Commonwealth stands as a testament to the will and perseverance of the common man. Long live Mother Russia, long live the Commonwealth, long live her People, long live the Tsar!

Commonwealth Frontline Squadrons are the first into the fray for Mother Russia. With veteran commanders and patriotic crew, they do not hesitate in fighting up close and personal, pounding the enemy with volleys of turret fire and broadsides whilst protecting the more fragile carriers and other support vessels.

The Commonwealth Frontline Squadrons kit builds six multi-part plastic miniatures;

• 2x Commonwealth Cruisers (Each Cruiser can be built as either Kutsov, Norilsk, Oleg or Sineus Class)

The architects of the Dystopian Age, the Covenant of the Enlightened wield their formidable intellects to sweep aside those ignorant or deluded who stand in the way of Scientific Progress. These masters of technology covet knowledge above all things and believe that it is only they who can steer humanity on a path to enlightenment. With their wondrous war-engines, the Covenant of the Enlightened take every opportunity to demonstrate their technological supremacy. The discoveries that were intended to herald a new era for humanity are instead used to punish those who would misuse them. Only when the Covenant are lauded as the rightful leaders of the Earth in this new Dystopian Age can the world be brought into a new dawn of achievement and prosperity.

Enlightened Frontline Squadrons are the mainstay of the Covenant’s fleet. With experienced commanders on the bridge and veteran engineers maintaining advanced technologies within the hull, these ships are marvels of the Dystopian Age, bringing volleys of particle cannon fire and aetheric broadsides to bear against those who would stand in the way of Progress.

The Enlightened Frontline Squadrons kit builds eight multi-part plastic miniatures;

• 2x Enlightened Cruisers (Each Cruiser can be built as either Antarctica, Chatelet, Copernicus, Lovelace, Stiletto or Ulysses Class)

This box set not only provides everything you need for two players to start playing Dystopian Wars, but it also contains a campaign that details the theft of the prototype Hypatia Class Generator ship by the Russian double agent Helsinki Markov. The Commonwealth Intelligence Service (known as the Okhrana) have seen a chance to acquire Enlightened secrets and add new technology to their arsenal in order to better defend the Commonwealth. They risk reprisals from the Enlightened but as long as the technology is theirs it would be worth the consequence. The Covenant guard their secrets jealously and losing the Generator ship will cost them years of research and development. The game is afoot and the stakes are high for both sides.

The Hunt for the Prometheus will walk players through the rules of Dystopian Wars game by game, slowly building up to the final confrontation between the Russian Commonwealth Fleet and the Covenant of the Enlightened Fleet.

A marvel of the Dystopian Age, portals are gateways rent into the fabric of space forming a passageway to another nearby location. Often these portals can be linked into a multitude of other such gateways forming a network in the local area. Any person or object smaller than the aperture of the portal can pass through and be transported almost instantaneously to a new location. While the portals of forces such as Watcher Hegemony or The Order of the Allshard are more sophisticated than those reverse engineered by the Covenant of the Enlightened, all portal travel has a degree of risk associated with it. A traveller should never enter a portal without knowing where it leads to - or indeed if it actually leads anywhere!

The Portals kit builds two single-piece resin miniatures;

• 2x Portals
• 2x Base
