Hi everybody! Here's a new section to the forums to discuss the upcoming sci-fi game AE-Bounty. This is no Alternate Event, but instead an Alien Encounter!
Right now information is scarce as we're still putting the pieces together on this new project. You can expect more details to trickle out over the next few months as we roll into the playtesting stage of game development. Here's some basic information to help get things rolling.
AE-Bounty is a skirmish-scale miniature wargame taking place in a far future ravaged by conflict. The game will use the core rules mechanic from AE-WWII, making it easy for players to transition from one game to the other. Bounty will have the same small model count as AE-WWII with players able to run crews of as few as two models! Though players can use just about any sci-fi models, Bounty is geared for use with our upcoming line of Darkson Designs sci-fi models; we've already got 30+ sculpts in the line just waiting for release!
What we're shooting for is a fast, fun, sci-fi game with a lot of character. I think fans of the AE-WWII mechanic will really enjoy Bounty and folks looking for a simple, fun sci-fi game where rival bands of bounty hunters, pirates and mercenaries duke it out to earn some cash will be pleasantly surprised.
Right now we've got no solid release date for Bounty, but we're shooting for a release late this year. We're planning on having Bounty represented at GenCon in one form or another, so if you're on the fence about attending - go! Expect more information over the next few months as well as previews of the sci-fi miniature range for use with Bounty! It's going to be an exciting year!
