Surely you need some (R)HKP uniforms to back up the hard-bitten, martial-artist detectives....

I'm working on how best to combine the shootout from the teahouse in Hard Boiled:


with the battle in the alley in Big Trouble in Little China and a set-up of bamboo construction scaffolding.

They are some nice figures. How mant are likely to be made?
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

You'll be waiting a while, it's not released until February next year  ;)

I've seen some of the sculpts Mr Saleh is working on though and they are looking pretty damned cool.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Come  on then guys rules for the last set were child like, the pictures and book shite n unsophisticated . The figures however  were superb I hop North Star can put it together with some decent rules n playability and a better  book to the standard of EOD

Hi sgallagher – I'd be curious to know which volume you disliked so much – I'm always after constructive feedback to help improve the series. For example, following a number of comments and reviews, from Fistful of Kung Fu onwards we're tweaking the design to give clearer to follow chapters and to better use the space.

While we could quite easily put together a full colour, hardback book like EOD (Osprey has done it before – Bolt Action being a prime example), the price would go up to match. OWG titles are intended to be light on frills in order to keep them affordable – £12 instead of £30.

Cheers!

Sorry nick , I guess I would prefer paying 30 pounds for a more sophisticated book as u and obviously Osprey  are cable of doing rather then a comic book that cost 12 pounds? Sorry. Your figures are superb , but I felt that in her Majesites Name was a complete let Down Which was sad because it had great potential. But that's my humble view and it's only toy soldiers at the end of the day. cheers

I thought the format was one of the best points of IHMN.
The 'open' style, concentrating on a sensible set of straightforward rules, asking to be slightly modified for your own tastes without loads of pointless pictures pushing the price up, made sense to me.

So much so that I am looking at getting the others in the series.

I dont want to pay for 'fluff'.
I can add my own.

Any game that allows me to recreate John Woo style heroic bloodshed movies has my vote.

There must be rules for sliding down a banister while shooting dual pistols.
