Roar of Alliance
A downloadable game
Take on the roles of a ragtag group of soldiers and freedom fighters trapped behind enemy lines in a World War II gone wrong. You’ll use the makeshift armored vehicles you’ve kept running to cut a path through occupied territory and put the Allies back on track for victory! You’ll determine the exact nature of your mission as a group when you select your campaign and set up your game.
Players will work together to operate their tanks during the Engagement, taking on enemy tanks and infantry as they advance toward their objective. Between Engagements, players will embody their characters in the Downtime, building valuable group morale and recovering from the stress of combat.
Play sessions of Roar of Alliance usually take 90 minutes to two hours, and include at least one Engagement and one Downtime. The number of play sessions required to complete a Roar of Alliance campaign varies, but usually falls between three and seven depending on the selected campaign and session length.
Development
Roar of Alliance is rules- and text-complete and ready to play, but remains in active development. The materials you can download here represent the current state of layout, art, and editing. Certain art assets are not complete or are not provided in their final form. You may need to supply certain common play materials until art and layout are complete for those assets. The rules text references everything in the game as though it is a physical product in a box, but all assets are available for print+play.
