At 43 Game Views
From the creators of Confrontation and Hybrid, AT-43 is a science-fiction tactical wargame with prepainted miniatures. Each player commands a number of infantry units, combat striders and specialized forces. Games are mission driven, often with unique victory conditions. There are currently four factions available, with other factions coming soon.
AT-43 Initiation Set: Operation Damocles The Initiation Set box is both a complete game for 2 players and an introduction to the rules of AT-43. The White Stars forces face, over several missions, the terrifying Therian aliens on one of their Factory-planets. These scenarios allow you to get acquainted with the basics of the game in a simplified form at first, and then step by step into strategic depth. The box contains all the necessary material for two players to play the six missions of the handbook.
In AT-43 [After Trauma: Year 43], humanity is at war with the technologically advanced Therians, a presumably robotic species bent on subjugating and transforming all planets for their ultimate purpose: the crafting of a better , more organized universe under their rule, which they refer to as their therian heaven . Humanity is seen by them as nothing more than pathetic, primitive animals. The center of mankind is the planet Ava, which came under attack by the Therians. The United Nations of Ava managed to push back the invaders, but bitter fighting left the planet in ruins. This pivotal event is referred to as the Trauma. 43 years later, the human forces launched a counterattack under the codename Operation Damocles on one of the Therian's factory Planets, the starting point for the AT-43 miniatures game.
Main inspirations for AT-43 were typical science-fiction tropes from the 1950s and 1960s, but updated with a modern slant. The Cold War and the escalating conflicts from that period are also themes in the game. Stylistically, the game tries not to depict a dystopian future, but a future where propaganda from each side paints everything in bright colours.
