It is 1875, and Count Dracula is President of the United States of
America.
In the wake of the Civil War, with the country struggling to regain its
balance, Dracula seized power. The Count's thralls assassinated
President Lincoln and his entire administration in a single night and,
in the ensuing chaos, their master made his move. Dominating the Senate,
he declared himself President-for-Life, and now rules the Union with
fear and an iron fist. His vampiric progeny, the Coven of the Red Hand,
infest every strata of society, and enforce Dracula's will with ruthless
efficiency.
Drawn by the shadows gathering across the nation, secretive cults and
evil creatures emerge from their lairs to thrive in the darkness of the
new regime. Fleeing from the oppression and menace of the East, hordes
of pioneers head to the West, hoping for a new life.
Dracula's greed, however, knows no bounds, and his reach is long...
Dracula's America: Shadows of the West is a skirmish game of Gothic
horror set in an alternate Old West. Secret wars rage across the
country - from bustling boom-towns to the most remote wilderness - as
cults and secret societies fight for power and survival. Players will
throw their support behind one of these factions, and will lead a Posse
of up to a dozen individual models in fast-paced, cinematic battles for
dominance and survival.
