A War Transformed: Rulebook

Manufacturer: Osprey Publishing

The Great War meets the horrors of forgotten folklore in this occult skirmish wargame.

1916: As the Great War raged, the Moon fell from its orbit. Seas shifted, uncovering new lands and revealing what tide and time had concealed. Long known as a potent occult power, the Moon's descent also heralded the terrifying resurgence of magic. Long-forgotten gods and spirits began to stir in hidden groves and caverns and old traditions found new strength. Soon, stone circles echoed once more with the chanting of ancient rituals and menhirs were again bedecked with wildflowers and presented with offerings of honey and blood.

1918: Rival nations battle on new fronts, seeking dominance with weapons of spell, song, and sacrifice. Thrust to the surface, Doggerland, the ancient bridge between Britain and Europe, becomes a crucial battleground in the conflict. In this alien landscape, raiding parties pick through the ribs of wrecks and the ruins of lost villages, war machines festooned with totems and fetishes roll over the brittle bones of long-dead giants, and cavalry charge across the verdant plains of this mystical new land.

A War Transformed is a platoon-sized skirmish wargame set in a world where World War I was utterly changed by forces far beyond human comprehension. Players command small forces of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and other. . . stranger. . . troops on the Doggerland Front.

A War Transformed contains all the rules required to play, including army lists for hte British, French, German, and Russian forces as well as the American Foreign Legion and the Freikorps. Also included are a host of scenarios and rules for Rituals, the dark magics and secrets that could turn the tide of the this war. It is a game of rifle and relic, of bayonet and belief, of machine gun and magic.
