HeroScape: Age of Annihilation was an Avalon Hill crowdfunding campaign which failed to meet its goals for a standalone "Master Set" that would have been compatible with all previously released HeroScape items, although miniatures would have been unpainted. The IP has now been sold to Renegade Game Studios which may choose to produce this or another set. It is not clear that any games were actually produced, so the "owned" and "ratings" for this game are misleading.
