The
Silver Bayonet is a skirmish wargame of gothic horror set during the
Napoleonic Wars. Each player forms an elite band of monster hunters
drawn from the ranks of one of the great powers. Riflemen, swordsmen,
and engineers fight side-by-side with mystics, occultists, and even
those few supernatural creatures that can be controlled or reasoned with
enough to make common cause. The game can be played solo,
cooperatively, or competitively, with players progressing through a
series of interlinked adventures with their soldiers gaining experience
and suffering grievous wounds and their units triumphing… or falling in
the face of the shadows. It is a game of action and adventure, where
musket and sabre meet tooth and claw.
As the wars of Napoleon ravage Europe, chaos and fear reign and the
darkness that once clung to the shadows has been emboldened.
Supernatural creatures--vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and worse take
advantage of the havoc, striking out at isolated farms, villages and
even military units. Whether they are pursuing some master plan or
simply reveling in their newfound freedom is unknown. Most people
dismiss reports of these slaughters as the rantings of madmen or the
lies of deserters, but a few know better…
In Britain, a secret
award--the Silver Bayonet--is presented to those soldiers brave or
fortunate enough to have faced these creatures and survived. Often,
these survivors are swiftly seconded to a specialist unit and ordered to
report to one of Wellington’s exploring officers. Formed to root out
and destroy the supernatural menace, these small units are tasked with
investigating strange reports, scouring battlefields, and seeking out
allies and artifacts that could stem the tide. Britain is not alone in
this fight--the other great nations have their own units dedicated to
the fight against the supernatural--but that is not to say that mankind
is united in the face of the rising darkness. While the rising darkness
is a common foe, and rival units may forge uneasy and fleeting
alliances, patriotism and national interest will just as often pit them
against each other in races for ancient knowledge or forgotten treasure.
