From Wildlands to Mega-City One with Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter

From Wildlands to Mega-City One with Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter
Board Game: Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter
Time for another GAMA Trade Show announcement, this time from UK publisher Osprey Games, which has revealed an October 2019 release date for Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter, a Martin Wallace design based upon the gameplay in his own Wildlands, which was released by Osprey in 2018. Here's an overview of the setting and goal of the game:

Quote:
Something in the multiverse has shattered, and now the universe is bleeding. Throughout Mega-City One there are reports of invaders wreaking havoc: Celtic barbarians in Ezquerra Block. Russian nobles in Apetown. And rumors of fragments of other universes scattered across the city, waiting to be claimed.

The worlds of Judge Dredd, Sláine, Strontium Dog, and Nikolai Dante will crash together on tabletops in the miniatures board game Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter.

The game brings some of 2000 AD’s most well-known characters to the streets of Mega-City One, fighting for the shattered fragments of their own universe! Faction-specific action decks and new special character abilities give each group their own playstyle, from the well-armed Judges with their explosive ammo to the bestial fury of Sláine and his Celtic allies. Playing to your faction's strengths and exploiting your opponents' weaknesses will be the key to claiming victory on the streets of Mega-City One.
While Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter features gameplay similar to Wildlands, with each player controlling a faction with special character abilities, the two games are not intended to be mixed together. The miniatures included in the game will be 28-32 mm in scale.
