Rivet Wars: Eastern Front is a miniatures strategy game set in a unique dieselpunk universe where World War I never ended — just with walking tanks, armored cavalry, and absurd diesel-powered vehicles. Designed by Ted Terranova (who worked on games like Rise of Nations), it features cute anime-style visuals, but don’t be fooled: behind the charming chibis lies a tense tactical game full of dark humor and tough decisions. Players control asymmetric armies, capture bunkers for resources, and deploy units on a modular board, outmaneuvering opponents with grid movement and strategic dice rolls. The flow feels like a board game RTS, with constant back-and-forth — you might be losing, then suddenly flip the game with a surprise move. Get ready for a strangely adorable war!
