Fury of the Clansmen (1994)

About this game

Fury of the Clansmen is a tactical combat game set in the Mutant Chronicles universe. Players control squads of Clansmen or Dark Legion minions in various missions on the planet Venus. Each side has special objectives in each mission, and the team that accomplishes its goals first wins the game. Includes 32 detailed plastic miniatures. Can be combined with Pressman's Siege of the Citadel game to create very large battles. Additional rules and statistics for this game can be found in two supplements for the Mutant Chronicles RPG: the Imperial Sourcebook (with stats for many of the Imperial Corporation's forces), and the Algeroth Sourcebook (with stats for the myriad of forces available to the "Apostle of War"). Another expansion appeared in the Swedish magazine "Sinkadus" issue 43, which offered new squads for both sides, a new board, and a scenario using map boards from Fury and Siege of the Citadel together. The Klansman player can now play as the Brotherhood faction, who use supernatural "Art" cards. The Dark Legion player can use "Dark Symmetry" cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 2.8/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
