rdf:langString Dystopian Wars is a Victorian super science-fiction miniature wargame with steampunk elements published and manufactured by Warcradle Studios. It is set in an alternate timeline in 1870. In this world, technological advances have occurred over a century before they would in our timeline, which has had dire consequences for the conduct of warfare as technology is far advanced, and in many cases, unrecognisable. Dystopian Wars uses a range of resin models in 1:1200 scale. The original IP for Dystopian Wars was created by Neil Fawcett and Alain Padfield and published by Spartan Games. The original artwork was created by Sally Taylor and the original background - over 250,000 words - was written by writers Neil Fawcett and Franco Sammarco. The creative genius behind the first raft of superbly detailed models was Chris Drew and the team was later expanded with the very talented Chris Peacey. In total this team of model makers created a stunning array of miniatures in 1/1200th scale covering the ground, air and naval theatres of war. For many years Dystopian forged its way in the arena of Victorian super science fiction. Following the 1.1 version of the rulebook games designer Derek Sinclair joined the creative team, heralding a surge in the expansion of the game. Later the writing team was expanded with the addition of Josh Le Cheminant. One of the most impressive aspects of the game was the way in which the rules attempted to embrace three theatres of war simultaneously. With the unfortunate closure of Spartan Games the IP for the game, along with other games such as Firestorm Armada, were put up for sale and were acquired by Warcradle Studios. At this time the company merged its own steampunk game product with that of Dystopian Wars. The game is now being expanded with new rules and models.
