Our friends at Firelock Games recently announced War Stories, a World War Two Role Playing Game. If you ever wanted to play role playing games set in this period, this might be your opportunity. You can take the role of an American or British paratrooper in WW2.
It looks like there are other roles you can take on too such as partisans and tankers. I expect to see this game being released in early 2022. For now, let’s take a look at some of the artwork.
Update – June 24, 2022: This game should now be coming out in September of 2022 in PDF format and late in the fourth quarter for the physical product. This is up on pre-order now where you can save 20% off of the game. I have an article about that here. keep reading this article though as it gives images and information that the other one does not.

The images below all come from Firelock Game’s Facebook Page and their War Stories Facebook Group. If the idea of this game excites you, be sure to join that Facebook group. Now, on to the art!

A Description of War Stories by Firelock Games
Below is how Firelock Games describes the new RPG on their website.
War Stories is a roleplaying game using the Year Zero Engine that is set during the Second World War. All the background, rules, and scenario ideas needed to run a game centered around the harrowing exploits and extraordinary adventures of the 101st Airborne paratroopers (or alternatively, the British 6th Airborne) will be included. Play as the valiant heroes who parachuted into Normandy during Operation Overlord in June of 1944. The campaign game will allow players to tell the tale of their intrepid soldier-characters (even non airborne such as resistance fighters or tankers) as they collectively liberate France and drive onward toward victory. Above all, players will be able to create moments of valor and courage, ultimately weaving their personal tales into the fabric of history, from D-Day and beyond. These will be their War Stories.
