You will receive an email in February with further info on the book and miniature to be released at the same time.

Alien Encounters: Bounty is a science-
fiction miniatures game set in
the distant future of a galaxy shattered
by greed. Players pit bounty hunters,
mercenaries or pirates against one another in
an effort to eke out a living among the chaos
of the galaxy. The game is intended for use
with the Darkson Designs line of AE-Bounty
‘true’ 28mm models but is compatible with
any 1/48 scale models or miniatures.
AE-Bounty lets players build crews of pirates,
mercenaries or bounty hunters, equip them
with a variety of deadly weapons and useful
gear and then fight against other crews looking
to score big as dregs of the galaxy. Players
use a flexible points-free crew creation system
to build their forces, selecting units, heroes,
aliens and gear to create a powerful force they
can use against other players. Players can mix
and match the various alien races and fully
customize the weapons and equipment of
their units, giving players countless options
from which to construct their crew.
The rules make for exciting,
fast-paced games that can be played in anywhere
from 30 minutes to two hours. Games
of AE-Bounty can often be decided quickly
with one side achieving victory over the other
in a few short turns. Alternatively, battles can
drag on, with neither side able to break the
other as each player desperately tries to eliminate
their opponent. With a three-pronged
victory condition system, each scenario of
AE-Bounty forces players to attempt to
achieve primary and secondary objectives as
well as keep in mind the money they earn on
their mission; games of AE-Bounty can often
end in ties, such are the harsh realities of conflict
in the galaxy.
Scenarios of AE-Bounty can take place anywhere
the players’ imagination can take them,
from the surface of a harsh and forbidding
planet, to the corridors and compartments of
a starship deep in space. Players can choose
not only from a wide selection of scenarios
but also the locale where these battles are
fought, making each scenario unique.
Each player of AE-Bounty controls a crew,
which can have as many as fifteen models
or as few as two. This smaller model count
makes it easy to collect enough miniatures to
get into the game quickly, without the need
for a large investment of time and money.
In addition, it keeps games fast and fun. The
rules allow for multiple crew games, giving
players the option to expand the game to a
larger scale with little need for adjustment to
the rules.
AE-Bounty is a fast, fun and easy game that
both new and experienced players alike will
enjoy for its unique system. We have presented
here a game that gives players the freedom
to create countless fun and exciting battles.
Cheers,
Robert and the Darkson Crew
