They were the first American unit to go into battle in WWI, earning universal renown for their fighting spirit and for never giving up an inch of ground, or losing a man to capture. They were the Harlem HellFighters — first African American regiment to serve with the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Great War, and to acknowledge these courageous and long-neglected men who paved the way for future black soldiers, game developer Gaddis Gaming is launching a KickStarter campaign seeking support from gamers to bring their new “Shattered Crown” skirmish game to market.
“Shattered Crown” is the first WWI game to combine history, science fiction and fantasy with a complete line of 28mm miniatures — including the Allies, Germans, Japanese, Russians — putting it on the frontline of gaming’s “Weird” genre while transporting gamers to a thrilling battlefield. The world of “Shattered Crown” definitely delivers the Weird, re-imagining history to set the game just after Earth’s victory over the Martian invasion, with the different factions now finding themselves — wonderfully weirdly — on the eve of WWI.
