Alternative Armies Maelstrome Competition (closed) |

Maelstrome is a set of fantasy rules whose
main aim is to provide a fast, easy and - above all - fun system. Its rules
engine is based on the premise that you and your fellows (or foes) should
be able to bring a good sized game to a conclusion within a single evening
of play. All without melee amongst yourselves over ambiguous rules, or over
'who would have won, if their had been time to finish!'.
 Being
a set of rules designed for use with Alternative's 28mm miniatures and with
the intent to allow you to field a BIG army while still being able to manage
the play and wreak carnage on your enemy; it was vital that the rules were
sturdy and reliable. Due to the unique nature of the world of Valon and
the knowledge that players of Maelstrome have of the Fourth Age and the
rise of Blackpowder the need for a familiar 'feel' to the rules was paramount.
The core rules of Maelstrome are transferred from Slaughterloo, the world
famous Napoleonique rules system which has been played everywhere for about
five years. This means that any player of Slaughterloo will be able to 'pick
up' and play Maelstrome very quickly and new players will find a streamlined
and adaptable set of rules for warfare.
The Maelstrome rules set is scheduled for release on January 16th 2004.
