AT-43 is a science fiction tabletop wargame using 1:56th scale miniature figures and terrain developed and published by the French company Rackham from 2006 to 2008 and then Rackham-Entertainment from 2009 to 2010. The game is classified as a platoon/company level game similar to Warhammer 40,000. Released in December 2006, the game features plastic miniatures of mechs, vehicles and infantry units with corresponding cards showing the stats and gameplay options for each unit type. The game features alternate activation of units (similar to Chess) using the sequenced card mechanic. It also features command resource management (Leadership Points or LPs) to enable special unit actions called 'Combat Drills'. Unlike many other miniature figure wargames, all of the miniatures are supplied pre-assembled, and painted. The game also provides a few pieces of 3-dimensional scenery, and 2-dimensional game mats to allow player to decide between mission-based objectives, or skirmish-based combat. AT-43 is now a dead game with no further releases expected. Universe In AT-43 [After Trauma: Year 43], humanity is at war with the technologically advanced Therians, a presumably robotic species bent on subjugating and transforming all planets for their ultimate purpose: the crafting of a "better", more organized universe under their rule, which they refer to as their "therian heaven". Humanity is seen by them as nothing more than pathetic, primitive animals. The center of mankind is the planet Ava, which came under attack by the Therians. The United Nations of Ava managed to push back the invaders, but bitter fighting left the planet in ruins. This pivotal event is referred to as the Trauma. 43 years later, the human forces launched a counterattack under the codename "Operation Damocles" on one of the Therian's factory Planets, the starting point for the AT-43 miniatures game. Although the UNA and RedBlok will often be identified as the "human" race, this is not the truth. By reading the Therian back-story in their Army book, you will find that it is actually the Therians who are the Human Race. The Therians hail from the Solar System SOL, which is located towards the tip of a spiral arm in the Milky Way Galaxy, and originate from the Third planet ('Terra') from the Sun. The Therians home planet was reconstructed by the Therians into a dyson sphere covering the sun long ago. Having become virtually immortal by re-engineering their own bodies, the Therians have been engineering the universe
