Osprey Gives The Lowdown On New Scrappers Skirmish Game
February 27, 2017 by brennon
Osprey Games has another skirmish game on the horizon, releasing on April 20th, 2017. Set in a ruined and post-apocalyptic world you'll be battling for survival in Scrappers.
Here's some of the fluff behind Scrappers...
"More than 150 years have passed since the apocalypse that nearly destroyed the Earth. Today, the planet is a torn remnant of its former glory, ravaged by nuclear fallout and mutagens. New lifeforms - Mutants and Synthetics - challenge True Humanity for dominance, while warring factions compete for survival and supremacy, and all must carve out their place in this brutal landscape, or else perish as billions before them.
Scrappers is a skirmish miniatures game set in the wastelands, where players assemble Scrapper Crews and send them out to scavenge scraps of Ancient technology and battle rival factions. Explorers, cultists and raiders clash with mutated creatures, robotic soldiers and embittered True Humans in this wargame of salvage and survival in the ruins of the future."
The artwork looks really cool for this game and it's always good to have more options available to you when it comes to getting together for skirmish sized Sci-Fi games. If the fluff for this game takes your fancy you can join the Facebook Group for the game HERE.
Are you going to be keeping an eye on Scrappers?

It’s a post apocalyptic frostgrave from the sounds of it. Could be fun.
Allas I doubt it will be the same system: the authors are different and the book will be a bit more expensive
Humans, mutants and machines fighting in a post apocalyptic future… It’s ticked all my boxes.
a game or just a present day survivalist guide?
I hope this is good, the Osprey games have been real hit or miss. Warriors of Poseidon was very disappointing.
I generally have faith in osprey, and they usually produce, tidy little rule sets. I’d imagine that this is no different. Love to see where they go with this, as it is not in their “Blue and White” book covers
Sounds interesting so far and the artwork is cool. I’d like to hear about the mechanics though.
Here’s a review if anyone is interested… http://anatolisgameroom.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/scrappers-review.html
Sounds interesting enough to me. A cut price substitute for Necromunda perhaps.
A good call. Also take a look at “in the Emperor’s Name” another Osprey title “ported” to the grimdark
