Modiphius: Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish Game
« on: April 20, 2016, 07:42:23 AM »
With several threads in various sections not being very to the point or showing very recent activity, here's an all-new one 'cuz Modiphius has just announced Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish Game to be available for preorder. Actual release will happen in June/July.

Some choice cuts from their newsletter:
Quote
Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish is powered by Spartan Games' Dystopian Legions 2.0 rules set (re-written by Matthew Hope {Relic Knights, AE-WWII, Wrath of Kings, Sedition Wars}). The game allows for fast playing battles from small skirmishes up to full-scale conflicts. Modiphius has added new rules for Mythos powers, creatures, artifacts and spells to allow players to experience the full flavour and terror of the Achtung! Cthulhu universe with their heroes and troops. The range is designed to work alongside other popular 28mm miniature lines. [...] In July the PDF of the Commander's Set and the Rise of the Black Sun campaign book will be available from Wargame Vault and the Modiphius.net store and this will herald the July launch of both the Commander's Set and the Rise of the Black Sun Starter Bundle.
As implied above, TCS is the one with the rulebook and other requisite stuff.

That same information and more can be found in a A!CSG catalogue that can be "bought" at Modiphius net store:

The Setting sounds nice and the Figures looking great.
 
We ordered the Commanders Set for a first look.
Nice move from Modiphius, for the pre-order you get an Blister of Miniatures for free.

Skirmish size Table/ Board with 4x4ft is ok for many situations. More Board=more fun...

We will try out too, the Tiles Set from same Range. Maybe its fine for first steps games with new players they came from Boardgames...

Has anybody ideas for Table/Board Design?
Post pictures of your Tables and Achtung! Cthulhu Miniatures!
(i will follow so fast as possible / ordered the Commanders Set that came in July and get in next week the first run of Figures from my lokal Dealer)
