Hello!
Surfing on the net I find miniatures for playing rugby matchs. Still wanting to change the resultat of the half final of the last world cup (for France of course ;)) I'd luike to buy this minis but I still search a rule to play with them.
Does anybody know one?
Still surfing (between two miniatures painting :D) I find this one
http://www.crashtackle.co.za/features/about.html
Do you know it? Is this rule realy playable (not sure of my word ???)?
Thanks for your help ;)

I have no knowledge of the rules myself, but these folks seem to enjoy Crash Tackle:

And here's a topic on another forum which talks about the same blog, and includes details of some figures available, too (which may or may not be the same ones you have seen):

Thanks for your help.
It's the miniatures that decide me to look for a rule, they are pretty nice :-* and it's a very original way to play with miniatures changing from historical fight ;)
After reading all things I'm hesitate between Rugby World et Crash Tackle that have each one their defender. I continue my search! :D
-
The old Asterix range had some, they turn up every now and then. We have our big swap meet at the end of the month, I have seen them there so I'll keep an eye out for you.
-
Now you've got me interested.... Is there a European vendor selling Crash Tackle? Anyone?
-

Think I must have.... I also plan to try Elfball and Deathball... Sports games with minis are such a nice break from all the guns and stuff :)
-
I pass a command directly on the website (the mega pack + the add on). Only to wait it.
You've got a forum too you can find here http://ctcoaches.co.za/
Yep playing sport with miniatures is always funny :D
-
Did you purchase all the add-ons?
I wouldn't want to buy the mega-pack, as I want to play with minis, not the flat wooden counters... but on the other hand, I maybe need it to get the stats for the teams... or what.. ???
-
So am I but the CRASH TACKLE: MEGA PACK NORTHERN HEMISPHERE that I buy had (if I have all understand) one of the add on (GAME BREAKER CARDS) and the price was the same so... I buy the 2nd Add on called EXTRA PRESSURE PLAY DECK.
I buy directly because with the € so high it's very interesting for me (got all for 35 €).

Are this miniatures the same size of copplestone future war?
-
Don't know I haven't see them. On an other forum they say they're nearly 35 mm. I'll buy them when I'll recieve the game. Tell you more then.
-
hey guys,
after reading this thread I have ordered figures from madfin, excellent shipping service, less than a week and the figs are in my hands.
very nice done.
So today I have decided to order the Crashtackle game from South Africa.
I hope to get it soon.
thanks for the thread, is a very interesting game rule,
Piero
-
Excellent!
And about the size of the miniatures? Can you tell us more?
-
they are truly 30mm, bigger than redoubt, but very nice, looks more like old toys figurines,
unfortunately all are the same size, so a hooker is high like a scrum half and a lock.
all looks aggressive and mostly resemble Tongan,New Zealand people.
I plan to paint them in the next days, when on holiday, I'll post some pics end of August. I have not yet choose teams to reproduce, probably England and Italy, or South Africa.
again thanks for pointing that intriguing new game.

You're welcome ;)
Thanks for the informations about the miniatures. Only 2 to 5 weeks to wait the rules.... o_o
If you read french (or can translate it) I recommend you this site that have lot of explanations for the game
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/gil.pilum/
On my own I'll surely paint teams of the 6 nations...
-
I saw this thread and thought strange...........
You buggers, I've been looking at it and now I'm intrigued.
I also noticed a football (soccer) tournament game and eureka do the miniatures & stuff.
I am beginning to wonder what else is out there ?
Cheers for the links.

Thank you. They had a free rules download so I've taken a copy of that.
I'll have a read and see what I decide to do. Agreat diversion from the norm.
Except that I spend most of my time preparing for it and not enough time gaming it. lol

The miniature for football are cool too. I'll read the rule, an other funny to assume our hobby mixing with my interest for sport! Excellent!!! :D
Yes it's allways the pb so much thnigs to do and so few times to prepare and play. I don't understand why my boss don't want to let me more time to prepare my games leaving me my money lol
-

The good thing is - finish 11 (well, 22..) minis, and you won't have to bother, ever again ;)
