FSA - The Federated States of America

As the title of this post suggests. America's history was somewhat different in this timeline. The American Civil War resulted in victory for the southern states. They then formed the Federated States of America. I really liked the look of their ships, with the paddle wheels and low decks. After I chose them I read online that they are considered to be one of the most powerful fleets to play with, which is always a bonus!


As you can see you get a fair bit for your money! The fleet box gives you a Battleship, 3 Cruisers, 9 Frigates, 2 Bombers, 10 Fighter Bases and Templates and counters!

The FSA's airships are also pretty cool. They have a flying aircraft carrier which consists of 4 airships strapped together and they also get flying robots!

A New Game in Town

Well I took the plunge and decided to splash out on the new Dystopian Wars rulebook and a fleet to go with it.

Dystopian Wars is a Land, Sea and Air war-game set in an alternate universe in the 1870s. A chasm was discovered by an expedition team in Antarctica containing loads of exotic technology.

The Industrial Revolution happened decades earlier than in our timeline meaning that a lot of the technology used is unrecognisable.
