Flipit Paper Combat
« on: 27 December 2011, 09:58:55 PM »
Once again I dabble in the realm of paper miniature combat.

This time I'm not the creator though.

The website where I downloaded the rules and minis:

http://flipitpapercombat.com/index.html

For now I'm reading rules and building minis and this is what I've finished so far:











Going for some more Red Hammer Infantry and a chopper in support, and I should be ready for my first game.

I like how the game handles phases. Not something I've come across before (but then again I've kept to mainstream games mostly).

It's not really that bad. A vehicle or a squad of infanteri is usually just one sheet of paper.

I've added some Red Hammer Infantry, Green crew for the AA-halftrack and a little terrain:

Looks Great.  When can we expect your first battle report?

Thanks.  :)

First of all I need to finish the two forces. My initial aim is 200 points pr. side. The small missions are 200 points and the larger missions are 300 points. The Green Star force is finished, but I need a few more infantry for the Red Hammers.

Then I'll need a little more terrain, so the little guys have something to hide behind.

Last but not least I'll twist the arm of one of the guys from my local gaming group.

I'm guessing a battle report will be ready some time soon in the new year.

I'm keeping the forces rather basic and will add Heroes, mortars, transports and special forces later on.

The minis etc...they are free to download or? I´ve looked at the site but it doesn´t say wether they are free or not:
I knew the truck didn´t want to hit me...it had dodge written on the front

They are quite free.

I think the designer is planning to sell some that are made for special cutting machines, but I don't know much about that stuff.

There's also a discussion thread here:

http://boards.4chan.org/po/res/449823#452981

This thread includes the Super Heavies and the first model of the 5th faction called White Lotus".

In looking at the web site, I did not find the instructions in folding the minis.  Are there any instructions?

There are some here:

http://forum1.aimoo.com/flipitpapercombat/Paper-Models/Vehicle-Instructions-1-1770839.html

(but you have to copy/paste the links as they redirect wrongly otherwise)

And here:

http://forum1.aimoo.com/flipitpapercombat/Paper-Models/Infantry-Instructions-1-1770836.html

I know the designer plans to make instructions for every model, but it takes time, so... dunno.

Just one pointer though.

When there's a cut out hole for at turret, rotor or crewman. Remember to test the size of both before glueing.

I had one crewman who couldn't fit in the tank turret on that account.

Added the last Red Hammer Infantry guys, a little church and a few more trees:



And I just discovered that a couple of more White Lotus Faction models just became available on the 4chan thread.  :)

With both forces at 200 points I'm currently making some more terrain.

A squad of Green Star Grunts searches a small village for enemies:
