Warlords of China is almost done, and in order to motivate myself to finish it this summer, I am, against my better judgement, starting this thread. A few more units and some other art, and a few final events, and I'll be ready to send it out for playtesting.
The scenario is set in 20's and 30's China, where central authority has been destroyed and warlords struggle for supremacy. The Koumintang and the Communists are allied against the warlords - for now. And in the wings, the Kwantung Army waits for an opportunity to conquer a divided China.
Warlord armies are made up of infantry, mortars, machine guns and artillery, along with exotic interwar tanks, armored cars and aircraft purchased from abroad. In the wake of their defeat by the Reds, White Russian infantry, cavalry and armored trains serve as mercenaries. Later, military advisors from the Bolsheviks and the Weimar Republic are available - to the skillful negotiator.
Minor warlords are represented by barbarians, as are bandits, pirates and mongol raiders. Special units like Tong gangsters, opium merchants, commissars and spies give a "pulp fiction" atmosphere to the scenario.
Unit art is split between Fairline and myself. I'm doing most of the figures, Gareth is doing most of the aircraft and vehicles. Here is a sample of some of the units I've made. They are: pirate, White Russian infantry, bandit, People's Liberation Army, warlord infantry, executioner, Japanese naval landing force, and warlord.
More later.
