Dark Age Games is an up and
coming gaming company that
has produced a miniatures game based on the art and themes of Brom'sDark Age world. It's a dark and ruined world where different factions and
different races battle to survive.
The game is a skirmish level game using a d20 for all
dice rolls. It is designed for a 2+ player game of approximately 10
models aside to take less than an hour for experienced players to play. At
the same time it gives you all the tactics and control of alternate
activation with detailed control of each model's actions.
All dice rolls are with a d20, low rolls are better, special rules
for rolling 1's and 20's (criticals).
The measurements are in cm for greater detail and variety amongst
units.
Play alternates between players with each activating a single unit
at a time (individual or squad) and once all units have gone the turn
is over.
This is designed for an average 500 pt game to require approx. 10
figures a side.
Each army plays different, each has a distinct appearance and
background.
The majority of units are melee units with advantages stacked in
favor of more aggressive play.
Additional rules cover malfunctions, psychogenics, special abilities,
formations and many other advanced gaming features.
Miniatures are usually shipped in strong plastic clamshells (photo right).
Larger miniatures and squad sets are available in box sets.
All miniatures are pewter ranging in size from 24mm to over 60mm with the
average human male model at 32mm to top of head.
Dark-Age are using only the best
sculptors and are emphasizing high production values in the sculpting
and casting.
