Two-Fisted Pulp Superscience in a World at War!

"...But should we fail, then the whole world... including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the light of perverted science..."

- Sir Winston Churchill, 1940

The world would indeed have been a different place had the Roaring Twenties not delivered the wonders promised by visionaries. Instead, war walkers now stride across the battlefield of Europe, huge supertanks thunder across North Africa, rocket fighters duel high above the Pacific, adventurers and superspies battle the Axis forces in the shadows and scientists work feverously in their laboratories to perfect the next doomsday weapon for their masters.

Gear Krieg is the original genre-making WW2 Dieselpunk setting. Gear Krieg is a tabletop wargame set in an alternate world where the wonders of pulp science-fiction magazines are realities of science. Players take the part of field commanders guiding their mixed forces of tanks, infantry, walker vehicles and special units through the trials of the Second World War.
