Crown Starter Set // Dystopian Wars
For those who haven't set sail with Dystopian Wars before...
"Dystopian Wars is a naval tabletop wargame that uses highly detailed miniatures to represent huge engines of destruction on, above, and below the high seas. Set in the Dystopian Age, an alternate late-nineteenth century of our own world, the Great Powers of the globe use super-science and alien engineering as they clash over resources and power. Battleships and cruisers sail the surface of the sea while sky fortresses and dirigibles soar in the sky above. Submarines lurk beneath the waves alongside squid automata and colossal mechanical knights. Fighters and bombers circle, waiting to dive upon their prey. All of this combines for an intense, tactical experience."
This brand new Faction Battlefleet for Dystopian Wars and The Crown is perfect for those looking to begin in the game or expand on a fleet they already have. You get some great flagship options plus some incredibly reliable cruisers that will keep you in the fight.

The Crown has access to some incredibly dependable vessels and key technologies, such as the Guardian Generator. This comes alongside a bunch of great options like the Caliburn Frigates and the Excalibur Heavy Destroyers, which give you plenty of manoeuvrability and some serious firepower despite the size of some of their ships.

SHIPS!!!!! Love the look of this fleet, may very well be one i pick up!
They are looking great for the game table’s 👍
Well, while they look great, this is a little underwhelming compared to the 3rd edition starter sets for a faction.
the third edition Crown starter had this:
1x Britannia Battleship2x Frontline Cruisers(Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Albion, Lancelot, Picton, Bedivere or Sabre Class)4x Caliburn Frigates2x Support Cruisers(Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Agincourt, Athelstan or Hotspur Class)2x Excalibur Heavy Destroyers2x Morgana Submarines2x SRS Tokens1x Rulebook1x Victory and Valour Deck20x Action Dice6x Critical Dice1x DA Token Sheet1x DA Templateso, if the the current starter is just 6 ships and 9 tokens, I hope it’s MUCH cheaper…
The saber class looks to pack some greater thump
