The Nations

The Marcher setting details the armies of six nations.

• United States: The nation with the broadest line of miniatures. Probably closest to the HDF armory.
• Holy Roman Empire: A mix of industrial technology and medieval aesthetics. Lots of airships. Lots of rivets.
• New French Republic: A less industrial army. Fewer big vehicles.
• Empire of Japan: Lots of amphibious vehicles.
• Russian Empire: Some super-heavy walkers and tanks. Cossack horsemen!
• British Empire: Still a small line. Automaton infantry!
