Today, ViaModiphius, the indie imprint of Modiphius Entertainment, is announcing a new seasonal release calendar. The first ‘Winter Collection’ presents a host of miniatures agnostic solo and co-op adventure wargames designed to bring gamers together around four fantastic new gaming worlds. Full details for each game in the collection can be found below.
Adventure wargames let you tell stories on your tabletop with innovative narrative mechanics, procedural campaigns, and scripted stories which put you in the middle of the action, whether playing solo or with your friends against dangerous adversaries. This new range, going on pre-order today, offers a wide variety of experiences from claiming and building your own settlement amidst a zombie apocalypse in County Road Z, leading a modern Delta Force or SAS patrol in Battlespace – Ultra Modern Military Combat, creating unique new heroes and going a series of epic adventures in Rangers of Shadow Deep – A Gathering of Heroes, and joining the marines and facing down aggressive alien species in Five Parsecs From Home Compendium – Bug Hunt.
