Nice pics.  I like your game board.

It's interesting... I didn't know Iron Ivan was doing a pulp game.

Thanks.

     Yep, Iron Ivan's next release will be another WW2 Scenario book, Berlin: Race for the Reichstag, and then Where Heroes Dare! should follow.  Many, many projects in the works right now like a redo of the free Rif War supplement.

     Where Heroes Dare! uses the same game mechanics as the other Iron Ivan titles, but is based around teams in the Pulp and Serial movie genre.  It's kind of like Necromunda for Pulp gaming where each team grows or suffers loss from Chapter to Chapter to create a story.  More details will be forthcoming.

Great looking game board, terrain and figures. I enjoyed the write up. I also didn't know Iron Ivan was creating a Pulp Adventure type game...keep us informed. I like the ideas and it looks like what I am interested in getting my hands on. When is the approximate release date??

     Thanks, release date is tentatively set for late this year.  Another strength of the game is that the other Iron Ivan books can be used as resources for vehicles, guns, etc.  So if you wanted to do a Pulp game set in the Spanish Civil War, you can get all the needed vehicles, etc from the ˇPrimera Batalla! book or if you wanted to do a Normandy WW2 set game, you can use the German and American books.  The book will also have a Chapter Generator which within a few rolls will determine set ups, Dare! Locations, and plots for each Chapter that you play making it easier for players to jump right in.

Thanks, though the teams are from our local Club:

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/NLWargamers/

We have a lot of talented people in the club.  I painted the NPCs which are from the Chaos in Cairo line and the Dare! markers are from Reaper or Wargods of Aegyptus lines.  There are a lot of miniatures out there that fit great into the Egyptian theme.  I would like to do a game set in Haiti as well, but that is far in the future...
