Produktbeschreibung
A modern, post-apocalypse game, set in the chaos after a conventional war in Europe that ends with a limited nuclear exchange used to ensure that anyone involved in the war (or not involved) would not have the industrial plant left to cause problems have an advantage after the war. Action occurs in 2000. Produced by GDW. Game of the Year in 1985. The game is supported by a good collection of modern equipment. It has an advantage that modern real-world sources can be used as background material. The background serves as history for 2300AD (aka Traveller:2300).
For those who find this background a bit too depressing, there is a parallel version called Merc:2000, where (using the same equipment base) the players represent private mercenaries called upon to perform jobs for various parties, both governmental and private. An economic collapse (and general malaise) has shrunk the reach and grasp of the world's major militaries. A lack of higher authority (big stick) and looser international organization allows ex-military professionals a variety of employment. This version of the background seems to serve as history for Dark Conspiracy. |
