In terms of the Zona Alfa flip through, it goes out to paying members first, then is on general release a week or so afterwards.

Have you seen it yet Denatus? If not, I can arrange for a 'free to view' link that you can do with as you wish.

Thanks Grimjack but I'll wait. Then cross post the heck out of it.

One of the reasons the game is titled Zona Alfa was to hint while the Eastern European area was the first or primary affected region, it wasn't the only one. (And Zona Perestrelki was too long and too Slavic.)

I'm backing away from the Sarissa Precision site now and hiding my wallet. *yikes* I could drop a $100 in an eye blink on buildings I "need" for a demo board.

@Manchu - yes, very much so. I keep eyeing the cantina and mission church...

@Dentatus - the TTcombat offerings are a bit more pocket-friendly

How do you like the new Russian buidlings?

Word to the wise regarding Sarissa: the greyboard is truly awful. The MDF parts of the kits are great but that greyboard, sheesh.

Zona Alfa is a great name for the game. It clearly implies there are other zones, as intended. I just hope Cypher can get some use out of the name Zona Alfalfa for his New Mexico campaign LOL!

Sarissa's Russian buildings remind me of the starting village in Shadow of Chernobyl. Call of Pripyat feels more commercial and light industrial.

Zona Alfalfa

I like that!

Manchu - which buildings have you built with grey board? I built one of the brownstones and a factory unit and thought it was OK on them, if a bit flimsy, and not really great for resting an inner floor on (the factory unit)!

Well, this is cool.

Superb layout and nice illustrations! Can't wait to get my hands on that book.

Dentatus · « **Reply #114 on:** November 20, 2019, 01:15:03 PM »

Osprey did great job, Sam's illustrations were right on, and LAM was kind enough to provide some very cool photos. (wish they were bigger)

Must buy for me, been dabbling with STALKER in 20mm for years now, have so much Soviet oriented scenery for it. Just need more Stalkers....

Speaking of STALKER miniatures, here's a post on my attempts at Zone crews through the years.

Thanks for looking.

The book looks excellent, the artwork sets the tone perfectly, and is very nice to boot!

Looking forward to this immensely.

Speaking about conversions..
Can you please tell your opinion about possibility to use Empress miniatures gasmask Russian heads with LAM bodies?
I don't have any Empress miniatures minis in my collection and so can only guess how well will they scale with LAM.

Dentatus · « **Reply #119 on:** November 21, 2019, 12:22:49 PM »

"Empress Minis gasmask heads on LAM bodies - - "

I don't own a lot of Empress Minis but the LAM figs are chunkier and larger than the handful I do have. The EM figs are nice, don't get me wrong, but the Pig Iron Productions spare heads seem a better fit for LAM.

That said, I think EM heads would work with Eureka figs or Spectre. Or perhaps The Assault Group as well.

***
Look into the Tiny Terrain Chechen War range. Igor K's sculpts but smaller than LAM. That might be a good fit too.
