Of Oil and Iron is a dieselpunk tabletop wargame set in the war-torn Smoglands, where towering war machines called Rigs clash over dwindling resources for their respective corporations. Players take command of a squadron of customizable Rigs, each piloted by a coveted Ironclad, and lead them into cinematic battles over the Smoglands.
The game blends tactical skirmish combat with campaign play. Rigs can be outfitted with different engines, weapons, and equipment, allowing for a wide range of builds and strategies. Rigs are controlled with unique Rig Control Terminals and weapon and equipment cards, with the game emphasizing positioning, damage to specific Rig locations, and the ever-present risk of overheating.
Beyond one-off battles, Of Oil and Iron includes a persistent campaign system: squadrons gain resources, salvage parts, and repair damage between operations. Over time, players can grow their forces, upgrade their machines, and carry forward the scars of previous encounters.
Five distinct factions vie for control of the Smoglands, each with their own identity and philosophy, from the industrial titans of Nox Industries to the free-spirited Freegear Coalition.
The Of Oil and Iron Rulebook is currently in Beta. If you want in, you can grab it via the Kickstarter late pledge over on MyMiniFactory.
