About the game
A steampunk skirmish ruleset set in 1895, in a technologically advanced Victorian age. Players create Adventuring Companies that act on behalf of the major world Powers in a secret war, in search for artifacts and new technology. Each company includes 4-15 figures, and the rules cover mundane steampunk tech, plus weird science and mystical powers. The system is versatile and easy to learn, and a campaign system is provided as well.
