Gear Krieg: Two-Fisted Pulp Superscience Roleplaying
"The world would indeed have been a different place if the Roaring Twenties had not delivered the wonders promised by visionaries. War walkers now stride across the battlefield of Europe, huge supertanks thunder through North Africa, rocket fighters duel high above the Pacific, adventurers and superspies battle the Nazi forces in the shadows and scientists work feverishly in their laboratories to perfect the next doomsday weapon for their masters.
Powered by advanced science, will the darkness of fascism spread across the world, or can brave men and women prevent it?
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 and walker vehicles through various scenarios inspired by the Second World War. This book includes basic rules and walker counters to take control of the armies of any one of five powerful nations to help decide the fate of the Free World.

African Theater
"The alternate Second World War has come to the sandy wastelands of Africa. The influence of super-science is growing in the Gear Krieg world as all sides put their newest constructs into the field — experimental Tiger tanks with wire-guided missiles and heavier combat walkers face off against American advanced units and British combat quadrupeds. The Italian forces reluctantly fight alongside the Germans while French are divided over allegiance: their Grognard-class super-heavy tanks fight on both sides of the conflict to defend the colonial territories.
The Theater books are the main tool for expanding the Gear Krieg game world. Each book details another part of the world and gives new scenarios and new technology to the players. They are built much along the same lines as the basic book, but they do not include the rules (purchase of the basic Gear Krieg rulebook is required).
The North Africa Theater Book includes:
- Alternate historical background for the desert conflict;
- Tabletop rules for fighting in the harsh environment of Africa;
- Seven detailed ready-to-play desert scenarios with maps;
- Basic tables of organizations and equipment (TO&E) for the expeditionary forces of Germany, the British Commonwealth, the United States, Italy and France;
- and more than fifty vehicles and variants from all nationalities."
