Konflikt ˋ47: Invasion America

Warlord Games haben die Vorbestellung für Invasion America und die neuen japanischen Modelle gestartet.

Die 15 Figuren der Ghost Attack Infantry kosten 44,50€

Imperial Japanese scientists have created devices that generate a field capable of temporarily phasing objects or people out of sync with the world around them. These ‚Ghosts‘ have proven adept at surprising enemy forces, literally appearing from nowhere to attack from unlikely directions or through the heaviest terrain.

Ghost Attack Squads are typically armed with Shiboru compression rifles; a squad of so-equipped ambushing ghosts can lay down a significant weight of fire before vanishing back into dense terrain, making attempts at pursuit futile. Some squads are close quarters specialists, and carry submachine guns or traditional hand-to-hand weapons that evoke the samurai of old, but in reality practise a brutal new form of ninjutsu.

Box contains fifteen plastic miniatures, which can be assembled as either Ghost Attack Squads or Shadow Warrior Squads, supplied with plastic bases.

Miniatures sculpted by Marco Sano. Studio miniatures painted by Kirsten Williams.

Die Kimura Tadaaki kosten 18€

Until late-1946 Kimura Tadaaki had been a test pilot for the Imperial Japanese Army, specialising in armoured walkers. He would seemingly be killed when a prototype’s ghost engine exploded, engulfing him in Rift energy. Rather than become just another unfortunate victim of phasing experimentation, Kimura miraculously survived, but would become something far beyond human.

Kimura had been thrown into Shinobi space, far from human perception, infused with energies that resonated with the place in which he found himself. Though he yearned for death, it would not come, having seemingly developed an imperviousness to physical harm. He also found he had developed the ability to partially manipulate the energies within him, such as to project it with force, or create and control energy constructs.

Over the first half of 1947, Kimura would train with Iwo Jima-based philosopher-scientists to gain mastery of his new abilities. They also fashioned a unique armour for him, serving two roles; to help him contain the rampant energies swirling within him, and as a morale-boosting reminder of samurai traditions for the ghosts he serves beside.

Box contains four plastic miniatures (Kimura Tadaaki with three Shinobi Shadows) supplied with plastic bases.

Das Ghost Infiltration Platoon gibt es für 66€

Since their first deployment against United States forces in the Philippines in late 1945, the ‚Ghosts‘ have proven invaluable. Their ability to phase into a state of existence separate yet parallel to our own has stymied enemy commanders. They can strike from anywhere, at anytime and without warning, laying down weight of fire with Shiboru compression rifles or spilling blood with the quick flash of a blade before disappearing into what Japanese researchers have come to call ‚Shinobi Space‘, or ‚the Spirit Realm‘.

In July 1947, Ghost Infiltration platoons would be the instrument of the Empire of Japan’s invasion of America. Accompanying them would be Kimura Tadaaki, otherwise known as the Scourge of the Spirit Realm, ready to wreak devastation in service the Empire.

This boxed set contains the following:

• 1x plastic Kimura Tadaaki, Scourge of the Spirit Realm
• 3x plastic Shinobi Shadows
• 25x plastic Ghost Attack Infantry
• Plastic Bases
• Assembly guides

Die Heldenfigur Slammer Samuels kostet 14,50€

The story of ‘Slammer’ Samuels’ ascent through the ranks of the US Army and eventual evolution to become the first Paragon is known across the United States. Enlisting the day after Pearl Harbor, Harris Samuels quickly established himself as a natural soldier and leader. Having impressed his drill sergeants and coming to the notice of several influential officers, Samuels was fast-tracked to the fledgling 1st Ranger Battalion and was one of fifty specially selected Rangers dispersed amongst the British Commandos for the Dieppe Raid in August 1942. In this action he became one of the first American soldiers to see ground combat in the European theatre.

Winning the Silver Star for single-handedly taking out a German Tiger Tank in Tunisia, Samuels was later promoted to the rank of captain just prior to the D-Day invasion. Badly wounded on Omaha beach he was transferred back to the USA for treatment, and presented with the opportunity to volunteer for a radical new treatment, one only made possible by the advent of the Los Alamos Rift, that would irrevocably alter his biology. Being a true American of fine character, and recognising the potential of the program to shift the balance of power in favour of the United States, Harris readily accepted the risks and became the first subject of the new program. Samuels would, following a long and arduous process, become the program’s first success; his physical transformation was to become a benchmark; a paragon of the potential of humanity.

He quickly adapted to the prototype Rift-tech weaponry provided to him, so much so that he was issued with the first experimental heavy Tesla rifle which he insisted on field testing back on the European mainland. In combat Samuels revels in close quarters fighting where he puts his signature weapon, the Tesla Gauntlet, to good use. Combining a pneumatic punch with a Tesla discharge, the glove allows him to take down even armoured or inhuman opponents he faces.

Box contains one plastic miniature, supplied with plastic base.

Das neue Buch mit Sammelfigur gibt es für 36€

It is 1947. Breaches in reality known as Rifts have provided the means for the warring nations to unleash unspeakable horrors upon one another in pursuit of victory. On the island fortress of Iwo Jima, away from prying eyes, the Empire of Japan has developed secret new technologies.

Whilst fixated on the threat of the Axis in Europe, the Pan-Atlantic Alliance fights a holding war in the Far East and Pacific. However, the Empire is poised to irrevocably alter the trajectory of the Rift War on a global scale.

Invasion Amerika is the second in a series of supplements for Konflikt ’47 detailing the background, history, and characters of the Rift War. This volume turns its attention to the Empire of Japan’s expansionist ambitions, and their unprecedented attack against the heartland of the United States of America.

Within its full-colour pages, rife with glorious photography, artwork, and illustrations, you’ll find timelines, short stories, game scenarios, and more.
