Look like it was a fun game.
What make are the small Greys?
-

I completely missed them. Of course, not having Internet at home anymore doesn’t help... I'm WAAAAAAY behind on my LAF reading ;)
-
Super cool.
-
I definitely need to give those rules a spin. And get a VTOL. lol
-
So awesome! For some reason for me, the cornfield really evokes the old X-Com scenes as much as anything! lol

I think the whole thing shuts evokes XCom.
Top job!
-
Its the very square buildings that shout X-com to me.
Cracking work :-* :-* :-*
-
Thanks guys! It's a retro campy game that should take you back to the 90's and those days of sitting in front of the computer waiting to find out where the aliens will jump out next.
Everything is very square for a reason :) It's been a fun project.
-
Great stuff!
-
Wow, that is straight out of the 90s game. Brilliant. :-*
-

Agreed. I think it's just that so many of my brave soldiers died in cornfields in the original game that it stuck in my mind. All in one mission as well. lol
Again, great stuff!
-
Yep. Loved X-Com. Somehow my first try I did it right and got the massive armoured suits with guided rockets etc. When I tried it again, I just couldn't recreate what I had done!
Still it was fun. I hated the damn snake aliens the most!
-
The buildings are great, where are they from?
-
majorsmith, I made them and should have them for sale in a week or two. They are so stylized that I don't expect them to be great sellers, but there must be others out there that want the same bit of nostalgia 8)
-
They look like the games buildings so that's grand!
-
This post may be premature as I have not read the whole thread but.... WOW! What rules are you using? So so cool!
-
Hi Corporal, they are the UFO Squad rules, based on the Song of.. system of rules. Just ran the con game yesterday and had two people say that it was the most fun game they played all weekend. I'll post some pics of it up soon.
-
I must admit that that was one of the most fun games I ever played. To be able to play on the table would just be the bees knees. I'll definetly check out the Song of rules sets. If looked at SoBH AARs and like what I've seen. Thanks and great job with the set up and minis. 8)
-
No Corporal Chaos, I've already done the hard work for you! Check this out http://crossoverminiatures.com/product/ufo-squad-rules/ (http://crossoverminiatures.com/product/ufo-squad-rules/), it's what we used this weekend to a really fun effect.

Did you run this table at Crisis then? :o
If you did, I missed it completely and I will be kicking myself for a month! :'(
UFO (the original) is up there as one of my favourite games of all time (together with Diablo and TIE-Fighter ;) ), and I've been toying with the idea of porting the game to the tabletop for the longest time. But here you are with a perfect rendition of the classic game.
It looks marvelous and everyone who ever played the game will be instantly taken back to their time sitting behind their 486, all tensed up when hearing those pesky Sectoids move, somewhere behind the farm house (and of course, in the corn field)! 8)
Awesome work; I think I might just try out your system as well...

No, I wish. My local con here in Vermont, USA.

DITTO!
But here you are with a perfect rendition of the classic game.
Some may say different :) I wanted to take the aspects I loved, alien fog of war, suspense, big aliens that kill you and reproduce, all the fun stuff and add that to a tabletop game. I didn't try and copy or reproduce it, but take out the essence of what we all loved and strapped that on to the super-fun Song of... game engine.

The general feeling from the con was that it was took you back :) Lot's of folks stopped by and recognized the board instantly!
Thanks for the comments! I'll post some pics of the final game here in a few hours.

Here are the random pics from the con game. We had two 6 man teams of UFO Squadies trying to get a piece of alien tech from the farmhouse to the Dropship. Two identical teams of 5 greys, 1 Cryptozoid, and one Assault Disk tried to stop them. It all came down to a shoot out in the middle of the board, but in the end, the UFO Squad managed to make a getaway.
Quite a bit of fun, the humans had a run of good luck in the end and one human remained locked in combat with a cryptozoid for 7 turn-overs!! It was very close even though the humans had quite a few more able bodies on the board at the end.

I like the buildings. Will be doing the room inserts and stairs as well?
-
You bet, it's all ready to go, I just need to make a few tweaks to my machine before I put them in the store.
-
awesome. They'll fit in nicely with buildings I already have.
-
I can almost here the clip clop of the troops feet leaving the skyranger
-
I love it--big homage to the classic PC game here (but no blue armor? C'mon man! Haha)--excellent work!
-
Thanks for recognizing it :) I've got some dudes that will go in there that should look familiar to you, we were just using proxies here as no one had them painted yet.

Fabulous!
