Thanks guys, setting the game up was great fun, and we are lucky to have a good crew playing the agents :-* :-*

I must give full credit to Auton, my co-conspirator for his help and encouragement.

I've just added the stats for Winston Churchill's character

Great stuff! I really love that London feel you made, and the V-rockets are awesome. I wish the pics were bigger to catch some more detail. Keep it up!

Hi Midismirnoff - just for you...

This game was prepared to a deadline as some of the players are emigrating!  :-[
There is a reason for not shooting pics too close 8)

Excellent stuff! Love the Zombie Bombs. What a great way to bring the action to the British.

So how many episodes left in this Weird War? I need to find out who wins!

The original plan was for 6 episodes. To my regret two of the main gamers are emigrating next year, so I'm hoping to squeeze in three more episodes very soon.

It looks like Number 4 will be a raid on the secret base of Sonderbuero 13 - I have the tunnels built and some other nasty surprises for our heroes, S.O.F.A. will need to recruit a couple more agents to replace the losses, any suggestions?

I thought about a Free French Yvette...........

Could always add a Romanian resistance fighter with a penchant for the full moon.

With the way your campaign is going, I thnk this figure from Bolt Action Miniatures might be appropriate:

Yes you are sooo right there Bullshott! I must order him straight away! :D :D

Actually they are stickers from an old Mighty Empires game but I must confess I wouldn't be surprised to learn the artwork was from the same source!
So here is a Cyber-Cookie just for you....
