In 2024, we’re launching Fallout: Factions, which lets you fight exciting, fast-paced Wasteland battles on the tabletop using detailed 32mm miniatures. The first wave is centered around Nuka-World, and features rules and models for the Operators, the Pack and the Disciples.
Okay, we’ve made them sound pretty similar there, so we can understand the confusion. But if you think the two games play the same, or that Factions is replacing Wasteland Warfare, you’d be sorely mistaken!
Let’s talk about these two side-by-side: what makes them different, how they cross over, and who they’re aimed at.
Wasteland Warfare was always intended to be a detailed, granular tabletop experience that mirrors the in-depth narrative gameplay of the Fallout video games. You create a group of wanderers in the Wasteland, outfitting each one with a unique set of equipment and perks, and you use a variety of different play styles and scenarios to create immersive tabletop experiences.
You might play narratively, choosing a scenario, gathering terrain for a suitably evocative battlefield, then assembling a force and pitting yourself (and maybe one or more team-mates) against enemies controlled by the game’s in-built Artificial Intelligence. Or you might play competitively, going head-to-head with an opposing player and fighting across a series of balanced battle scenarios. Maybe an ongoing story is more your speed, and you want to focus on building a Settlement and playing a series of linked games.
