ICEBREAKER

ICEBREAKER  is an in-development tabletop wargame where naval icebreakers engage one another as ground forces march upon the surrounding sheets of ice. 

Set within the expanded north polar region of an alt history 1980s. The World frozen over, the Cold War gone hot.

Wind speeds are nearly always much greater than 45mph, the air is filled thickly with heavy snow and cutting ice. Lightning strikes as it pleases, sensors run almost blind. These effects only worsen as elevation rises.

Warfare has devolved by centuries.

Ships unleash broadsides of autocannon fire into men and metal alike. Infantry scale the hulls of leviathan icebreakers, dragging themselves along grappling wires. Snowmobile-mounted cavalry launch barrages of recoilless rifle fire into exposed flanks and towering ship bridges.

This is a war of cannon fire, rotary wing craft, and hand-held breaching charges.
