Welcome to the Autumn: Para-modern Miniature Combat Wiki

articles since January 2012. It is the last age of man... ...and the world is ending. Harmony has become infected by the plague of war, of which there is no cure.

We must secure our future on the darkest of days. Our enemies surround us, they will never offer armistice, and neither shall we. Surrender is a resignation to extinction. We alone defend our interests.

However, there is hope. We can achieve victory. Fight long and hard and we can see peace again. Go fourth, challenge our would-be conquerors. Deny the world the chance to take what is ours, and with weapon in hand strike them down. Bring forth your rifle. Fuel your war machines. Wield the Aetheric energies.

Put an end to this age of war—this age of Autumn!

About Autumn: Para-modern Miniature Combat
Autumn is a para-modern tabletop wargame with light fantasy elements under development by a small independent team of traditional gaming hobbyists. It takes place on the planet Harmony, where five major powers (the Pentad Powers) battle for complete dominance using both conventional weapons and the mysterious aetheric energies.

The game features a unique blend of alternate history and fantasy, a world that is both familiar and alien. Conventional tools and weapons coexist with the mystic aetheric arts, while those who use them are hopelessly drawn into a cycle of violence and vengeance.

The system uses a one-roll mechanic and templates to calculate and figure-out results. A trait system provides units with a range of abilities and limitations and assists in customization. In most cases armour plays a small role in defence, instead players must make clever use of terrain to make the most out of their armies, preventing gameplay from becoming a "battle of blobs". At the same time a unique "strike" system prevents passiveness by allowing officers to summon forth powerful artillery barrages or airstrikes, able to demolish anything in their paths, properly representing the modern battlefield. The game is built around 20mm miniatures and ten-sided dice, though no miniatures have been produced as of yet.
