Title: Some hunting and some gathering

We have been playing around with some interesting predator mechanics to create a smooth and interactive experience for our Palaeo hunters. If you get a chance, please do stop in and have a look.

Cheers, Blood Sweat and Cheers is a great little game. It is all done, but still waiting for it's turn in the Ganesha release schedule.

May I suggest that "wounded models" and "when the first model is killed" sounds strange in the otherwise excellent narrative, talking about live animals and men... Wounded "characters" or "creatures" etc would sound better in the story and rules? (...or that's just me). :D

And here is my first attempt at making a pit (to chase mammoths into).

They look like they might be the Flytrap 20mm cavemen.

Aye, as Capt. Jake says, they are Flytrap Factory (a NZ company - don't hold it against them, but it does mean expensive postage). These are from the great 20mm range that has been around for a little while now. They recently had a KS for a 28mm range in which these guys are to feature as pygmies, but I like them better than the larger 28mm sculpts and they work fine as they are. :-*

and wargaming would never have been invented!

Thanks! I don't currently have a need, but I'm gonna go look at the page. Besides, when have I ever let that stop me before?

Post by: CptJake on April 20, 2017, 05:46:34 PM: Unfortunately, they don't seem to be selling them on their web site right now.

Maybe email them?

I have a couple sets somewhere, I like them a lot.

Cheers Harry! They are an important evolutionary side-step in gaming history :)

It's Man vs Bear in the latest adventures of Ogg, Snogg, Urgg, Fergg, Bow and Dogg. But who will emerge as the tribe's new chief?
