About the game
From the PDF: G-Men and Gangsters: The Gang Wars is a miniatures skirmish game set against the backdrop of America in the mid–1930s. But this is not America as history records it. In this alternate vision of the world, America has divided into separate factions, mobsters and bootleggers control many of the major cities, and law and order are upheld only by those with the grit to face death every day and the strong will required to avoid the rampant corruption plaguing the American nations. Before we look at the rules, take a brief moment to see how the passage of time has led to the rise of the Gang Wars. User Summary: This is a supplement for Savage Worlds: Showdown.
