.... Who can resist a participation game that features drag queens? I'll bet you were up all night sewing those outfits. :)

Looks like lots of fun!  lol

Judging by the participants costumes, it seems there was more than a tip of the hat to Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Who can resist a participation game that features drag queens? I'll bet you were up all night sewing those outfits. :)

... dunno? I didn't have anything to do with the game. The guys seem to be wearing the getup from characters in Mad Max 2 - The Road Warrior. Borne out by the scenario - the chase for the truck. It did look spectacular, though... WI had some great games that day.

Wargames Illustrated September has hit the stores here in South Oz, so I picked up a copy from Military Hobbies' new store in Unley (right across the road from a model railways specialist... Adelaide has a 'hobby hub'!) to check out the Pulp Gaming feature.

Nice write-up about Max '34, with sexy photos of miniatures... I think I'm going to go with an Australian theme for my cars and setting, although running liquor across the frozen Great Lakes into Prohibition USA in gunned-up, V12 powered 'Ginmobiles' is awfully tempting...  ::)
Operating from an abandoned US spy base somewhere in the Australian outback, Miniature Martin produces games and scale miniatures set in parallel worlds, past and future. He is NOT trying to take over the Earth. This time.

Eventually all the ideas will cross-polinate and we'll end up with a 'Not the Cars That Ate Paris' variant. Adelaide would be the ideal venue for such a game, it's an unpleasant rural town whose raison d'etre is impossible to fathom. :)

For those of you unaware of the fillum....

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Something to do with some Australians not wanting this particular colony built with slave convict labour, I believe...  :D

Anyway, we shall see what comes to pass, gaming-wise.  :) I'm also tempted to convert some '30's Grand Prix cars, particularly the 'Silver Arrows' of Mercedes and Auto-Union... There's something very appealing about the image of Tazio Nuvolari and Hermann Lang duelling around the old Neubergring, guns and engines blazing!

Got my rulebook and turn key yesterday.

Much to my utter delight I already have some cars done and painted and everything! At last, a f'ing new project that is like not going to derail my current project as all the work is already done!





Got mine, too, but alas, I have ordered a bunch of diecasts from various sources to trick out with the Eureka figs and accessories. (I had to have a Bentley 4.5 litre). So, major derailing ahead.

I'm also tempted to use the same figs, with some head-swaps, to crew my 1950's P.A. cars that I originally made for Machinas. While Machinas is a nice concept, I don't think it has the flexibility I want for the game I was contemplating. (It's more of a racing game than combat.) So, Maximilian 1954... coming soon...?  ;)
