I've been impressed by the past few images of the releases by Slave 2 Gaming in their Dark World War line. However, I can't find rules for this game! Are they tucked away somewhere on the website, or are they a work in progress? If neither apply, what rules would they work best with? |

Barring the sudden addition on a link to the actual rules, I'd be tempted to utilize "Achtung: Cthulhu!", or perhaps with some borrowed mechanics from "Konflict '47" or even that latter game entirely, depending on what flavor of supernatural level you want in the game. |

Depends on the scale of battle you want. For a platoon-to-company per side, I'd actually use This Quar's War from Zombiesmith Games. For reinforced-company-per-side (or bigger, up to battalion with all the toys), the old Great War rules from Flames. |

It looks like the official rules are in a download section of the Slave2Gaming site: link I will attempt to get after posting this. |

They download as *.DOCX files. And are still in "Draft". A small write-up at Board Game Geek: link Right now it is about ten pages with no illustrations. Related is "Weird World War I" link From Pinnacle Entertainment. With Player's guide and Master's guide, I assume it is a role playing game in a similar setting. |

G'day guys, The rules aren't actually available yet. They are very close, but after a final read by one of the editors, we decided to change a few things and this has taken a little longer than expected. Thanks for the interest, the game will hopefully be coming out in the next couple of months. They should be a free (or pay what you want) PDF from Wargames Vault, with players being able to be apart of the beta testing & offering ideas. It will be released here when it is available, so keep an eye out for it. Cheers |

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for for S2G's announcement – those sure are some nice looking mini's. Thanks for the help, DyeHard – I thought I had searched the website well. I'm familiar with Pinnacle's products, now I guess I'll have to get the books for this. |
