The Great War meets the horrors of forgotten folklore in this occult
skirmish wargame. 1916: A World Transformed. 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: A War Transformed. 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 plains made verdant by the
vegetation returning to this new land with unnatural speed. A War
Transformed is a 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. Fast-paced gameplay and a
tense initiative bidding system are combined with authentic folk
traditions and occult philosophies of the era – it is a game of
rifle and relic, of bayonet and belief, of machine gun and magic.
