Ground War is Here and the Corebook Gets a New Layout

Like the title says, the second expansion of Vertigo which adds mass combat rules, is now available. It is in beta of course, so there are likely to be balancing issues but those will be worked out as soon as they're found and reported. Feedback is important in this process.

The current roster is limited but rules are included for players to create their own elements and more vehicles and squads will be added with every update. Eventually all nine nations and several smaller factions will have full combat rosters of squads, ground and air vehicles. More features will be added along the way like additional support for long running campaigns, a solar system, orbital body and planet generator, and rules for players to create and run their own nations.

In other news, as I slowly complete art for the corebook and get closer to a physical release, I took the time to reformat the book and bring it in line with print standards. This was mostly text hierarchy improvements and blocking out pages for art. The page count dropped thanks to font changes, however, no content was cut. The new format goes live with this post. Ground War is already using the new style and Fleet Action will get the same treatment soon.
