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.

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 €).

Excellent!
And about the size of the miniatures? Can you tell us more?
Title: Re: Playing rugby
Post by: Shikari Sahib on August 08, 2008, 08:53:50 AM
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.

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