Heavy Gear Tactical

From the back of the box: The Story: The date is TN 1936, beginning of Summer season. A few hundred kilometers northeast of the Badlands city-state of Elayu, Rahnguard Oasis stands in the middle of an important caravan route and is coveted by both the Northern Guard and the southern MILICIA as a potential supply point. With the increasing North-South tensions following the death of Northern religious leader Thor Hutchison and the trouble in the Humanist Alliance, polar forces slowly creep into the Badlands and secure their supply lines in preparation for an Interpolar War everyone knows is coming. It is but a matter of time before a skirmish becomes a casus belli for an all-out planetary conflict.
