About the Project

Welcome to the 1816 dystopian Europe. With your help we want to develop the 1816 skirmish game, make the necessary commands to play with and take our first steps towards a community that, in time, may allow the creation of a new narrative game. This project, entirely made in Spain, is created with the firm intention to expand throughout the year and accomplish a complete catalogue that will allow playing with any 1816 Command. And also attaining more depth, through markers and elements that will create an evocative experience on the gaming table. The project is small, but we have invested in the best professionals within our reach, developing the whole concept during months of hard work, however, it doesn't end here. We are currently still working on this project so it can continue to grow, because we have total faith in it. 1816 is a skirmish game based on a dystopia (or alternative history) that starts with the Year Without a Summer, and that branches off towards a different history than the one we know, in which many of the wealthy and aristocrats have started a secret military campaign in order to take control over the Old World, taking advantage of Napoleon's defeat, the low temperatures and the famine. While nations focus on -apparently- recovering order and obtaining a food supply to feed the people, small military commands are covertly sent to carry out extremely important missions. The secrets are such, that many nations have developed advance technologies completely unknown to the wide public. Many countries like the New Prussian Empire, the Russian Empire or the Lithuanian Duchy have adopted a statu quo and try to put a stop to emerging countries, such as the Helvetic Republic, the Sweden Crown or The Netherlands. You shall choose a side and fight for the control over Europe, or just work as a mercenary for the highest bidder. Our main objective right now is to launch the 4 first commands: The New Prussian Empire, the Lithuanian Duchy, Sweden Crown and Russian Empire. That way we would get a 10 miniatures catalogue, enough to start to play, but not all, because we would like to grow as you give us your support so once we reach the 4000€ Goal we would unlock other Commands that we have prepared and other elements that will help the game experience, such as markers or characters. This crowdfunding is planned to run for 15 days, and intends to achieve enough support to launch all the material we have created up to now and deliver it to backers in a few months. Shipments would begin during September, and by November all should be delivered, unless we need more production time because so much material would get unlocked. The 1816 catalogue is entirely sculpted by hand by Sergus, a well known sculptor who has worked for national and international companies, and has an extraordinary coherence and eye for detail. The miniatures have a fantasy 28mm scale (this is: 32mm) and include scenic bases. All material is made in high quality resin and is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Big Child and Valquiria Studio are in charge of the process and both have extensive experience working with the best companies of the industry. So hope your visit and your support and share. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1901986014/1816-wargame-eternal-winter
