AE-WWII Retro Sci-Fi Core Rules

The Alternate Events WWII Miniature Wargame

Alternate Events: World War II is a skirmish-based miniatures game set in the retro sci-fi setting of an alternate World War II. The game is intended for use with the Darkson Designs line of AE-WWII "true" 28mm.

AE-WWII presents players with a war quite different from the one found in the history books. Here, the war has dragged on and neither the Axis nor the Allies have been able to secure a victory. By spring of 1946 the conflict has devolved into a bloody war of attrition and all sides turn to new advances in science, technology and even the occult to try and achieve victory. As you will see from the alternate history presented here, the war continues along much the same lines it had in our past, but different forks in the timeline have led the world to a different place; a place of frightening weapons of war, a place of faltering alliances, a place of death and heroism, a place of never-ending war.

AE-WWII combines war-gaming and historical fiction into a game that has much to offer fans of both. With a flexible, points-free detachment design system players can create purely historical forces or units comprised entirely of the terrifying new wonder weapons available to each side of the conflict. In AE-WWII it's up to the players to decide how historical or how fictional the game will be.

Is there any chance the AEWWII magazine ‘Over the Wire’ could be added for sale? Or if there is somewhere online that has them saved?

I loved the British list, and there was a whole bunch of cool bits and pieces in every issue.

Is there a printer friendly option available for this title? The PDF looks amazing but it is quite difficult to read because of the dark background.

I don't know if this game is still being supported by the manufacturer, but I'm wondering if the ruleset can be applied to ad hoc miniatures (in addition to the purpose-made models). I've heard good things, but I only want to pull the trigger if I can use my own minis. Also, do the rules translate well to 15mm? Any comments would be appreciated!

As Zac said use the miniatures you want as long as it is made clear before the game starts what each model/unit is. Have fun and play the game in any scale you can find figures that fit.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
