HARD VACUUM

Hard Vacuum is a fast, furious game of primitive rocket combat. The game is set in an alternate history World War II, where the rocket programs of both sides got a push from some serial style wierd science. The result is a brawl in space between world powers that just aren't quite ready for the level of technology that they are dealing with.

A few years ago we promised that some how, some way, we would finish the war in space. There were some twists and turns, and some layers of game mechanics which I have been eager to share for quite a long time. This month the last of three expansions is live, and that brings the World War II of Hard Vacuum to a close.
