I love these guys, what a crazy idea, beuatifully painted with loads of character. I like the shoes and the check trousers and the league shirt. My favourites so far, I loved the greasers Converse shoes, but these are the best yet. ;D

You need a yellow school bus. Can't help with sourcing one though... :?

When I look at this I keep expecting to see Doc Savage standing on the running board.



Oops! He's pulp tho. Too early.

Love the miniatures, characters, zombies, genre, cars, switchblades, greasers, bowling team... I guess I'm just going to have to check out these rules too.

Grimm,

What kind of critters can you run in this game. I see zombies and know it does the post apocalyptic genre... but what else?

Anything in the 50's genre movies?

Them? (giant ants/spiders)

Mutants?

What else?

How long does a "typical" game take to play out?

Etc...

Etc...

Etc...

 ;)

Hi all thanks again  :)

Bungle that is exactly what I am looking for .

Also can you tell me where to get the stuff in Europe ?

oh I can see the bus with flags and posters from the last football game the poor learner has .

I will have Radzobies but niot to much .
I will have mantis in human (and a bit bigger)  size 10 models
I will have a mutant in 3 forms ( angry , more angry, and lots more angry)
he will mutate on the battlefield.
I maby have gigantic ants
and  maby a ``the Blob`` thing
Also I think about a Hillbilly Mutant gang like in the``hills have eyes ``movie .

But after all lets see what figures,Brigade Games will make for the game .

SIKU is a german maunfactuer.

They are uncommon in shops in the UK as they are more expensive than matchbox type stuff as they are larger. I don't have one, sorry.

JADA are listed as 1/64.. but they are larger I have found some in ASDA but there are none at the moment, Ebay is your best bet.

JADA Battlemachine 57 chevy with Paul Hicks sculpt If you keep the lowrider look they may need mounting on a base.


Ebay Item number:   170368606928




Doc Hudson and a FULL THROTTLE 1:64 FOOSE 1970 MONTE CARLO OVERHAULIN' again bigger than 1/64 they do a couple from pre 57 the wheels have been replace to get rid of the low rider look,

How long does a "typical" game take to play out?

You will be able to run anything from the 50s sci fi movies. We'll have rules for THEM, Tarantula, a giant Mantis. There will be Mutants as well (in fact, I KNOW that some are being sculpted right now and I think you'll get a kick out of the first batch). The Brute that is already out, gets stronger the more he gets wounded (up until he dies that is).

The main rulebook, out in November, will contain a lot of different gangs to start. Or you can mix and match different models from the gangs into one gang.

It's hard to say how long a typical game would take as I don't have a baseline for it. Like any kind of points based game, the more points you have, the longer it will take to play. A three gang unit is about 500 points. Two players each with 500 points would probably finish in under 2 hours.

At the last convention I ran this, I had about 11 people each with about 150 points and including teaching the rules the game took about 3 hours.
