Whiteout - polar stuff

[carlos marighela]

For those who don't have the mdf fu of Rich and Chris.
This would make a good stand in for an arctic base/building.

Do the stoves lift up to disclose a 300 yard tunnel beneath?

[Chris Abbey]

Those Great Escape POW huts do look great, I love the furniture. Might be a little drafty in the Arctic, but then you can always wrap up warm!
We will be releasing kits for an Arctic base as well as the Jamesway huts very shortly as part of the Whiteout / Classic Movies range, very shortly, along with the miniatures, vehicles, sub, crashed satellite, tents, ship etc....

Britains zoo toys!

Is Britain’s still a thing? Naturally, you have lovingly recycled these from your youth?

Odd name for a Walrus.

Ovine     (I have a rather nice book with lots of useful lists like that!)

BTW I forgot to say, I am loving all this Whiteout stuff. Doug em4  reminded me that I have some terrain boards which are crying out for this.

I've agreed to do a couple more packs of figures to go with Rich's and Chris's work.

Glad to see you’re taking notice of an older and wiser chap, old boy....😀

First run through with Richard Naylor tonight. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked out OK. The card system works but it's clunky and remembering what all the cards do is hard work but either some printed cards of just stickers on the cards would fix that.

Suffice to say meeting a Polar Bear on the second tile at point blank did not go well... tweaks made and started again!

Some changes to be made to sort the balance and more details of the game to follow...

[Commander Roj]

Very exciting...

[Rich H]

It was actually.  We ran out of time but I think we'd jsut entred a differnet phase, we'd been mauled by an enemy patrol and we were low on food.  I suspect we might struggle to keep going for much longer which is exactly what it was intended to be.

Some things have been adjusted for balance and some clarified but generally we didn't find any parts that weren't covered in the rules to some extent

It narrated itself too, the polar bear encounter, the sentry appearing at the sight of the broken down sno-cat, the skulking wolves keeping an eye on us, the abandoned ship, the returning patrol...  you'll see from the pictures the terrain totally randomly formed a harbour around a frozen in ship.
