Crimson Dusk - sci-fi wargames rules

Tabletop wargames rules for skirmish to platoon level games in a Sci-fi, near future or post apocalyptic setting.

Crimson Dusk

The sun sets on the dead and dying casting a crimson glow to the scene. The victors pick their way through the carnage, the odd shot here and there giving the last rites rites of the fallen soldier. The sun finally sets, Crimson Dusk has gone.

A fun and exciting tabletop game, using model soldiers to represent your armies you can clash against your friends to win mastery of the tabletop. Where will you go with your games? To the stars of the galaxy battling on some unknown moon as rival systems settle their differences? To the blasted wastes of a post apocalyptic world where only the strongest survive? To the third world war, where USA invades China, and the Arab Union retaliates by invading Europe? Or will you create your own setting, and let your imagination run free?  These are some of options left to you by Crimson Dusk.

What is Crimson Dusk?

Welcome to Crimson Dusk. Crimson Dusk is a wargames ruleset for tabletop games. These exciting rules cover actions from skirmish level to platoon level. Command your troops onwards as you confront enemy forces, design your armies, and equip them with a miriad of weapons.

Crimson Dusk is a ruleset that allows you to take whatever models you have in your collection, in any scale and use them in wargames. The rules contain full listings for how to design your troops and set points cost to them so you can compete against your friends for mastery of the tabletop. And the great news is that the rules are entirely free to downlaod and share.

The rules are still under development, but on the Rules page you can see how far we've come. The current version is not yet the 1st edition, but a working copy, much more will be added to and developed before it is finally released, but take a look and tell us what you think in the forum. This could be your chance to influence how a rulesset is developed.

New Version

Well after a long while of editing after the first playtest version, then we're pleased to announce the current edition of Crimson Dusk! 

Many thanks to all of you that have helped in this project, and to those that haven't tried it yet - we hope you enjoy it! 

Skirmish! 

Also coming soon is a short modification for using the rule-system for very small scale skirmishes of approximately 10 or less models each side along with a simple campaign system for it.
