Working on some more modern games for Fistful of Lead, but I wanted to be more in line with Imagi-Nations. What's Imagi-Nations?
It's using historical troops in a fictional setting. It really started with wargamers using early 18th century troops in made up campaigns taking place in small fictional (usually Germanic) countries. Players could use their painted armies and fight other opponents regardless of whether those armies fought in "real life". My own campaign in Unkerlant was a blast to come up with and play.
It's since spread to other periods like Napoleonics and Medieval, but I've always been fascinated with the Inter War period. So why not do it?
I'm not tied to historical OOBs and there's no one to tell me "that's not the right Feldgrau color".
For one of my factions, the Northern Conclave, I wanted a German-ish feel but not use German Army minis. These Finns from Kyoushuneko Miniatures I printed worked great. There are so many Inter War vehicle minis out there, I can't wait to bring in some weird armor.
I can start with just a handful of minis a side with Fistful of Lead Core and build to larger and larger Bigger Battles game.
