Verrry interesting ...

A shame the licensing didn't work out, but at least you won't go the way of West End Games.

Minis suitable for all sorts of 1960s/1970s TVSF?  Sounds good.  Make sure you evoke the Blakes 7 helmets and the UFO Moonbase control panels.  They were everywhere!
Back from the dead, almost.

Cheers Steve - yep wargaming for Cult TV is the concept.

The rulebook is shaping up very nicely and will be available later this year. The Crooked Dice website should be up an running for the first mini pre-orders next month, but we'll keep you posted.

The game is very much inspired by the ITC and BBC series of the 60s and 70s - so if this is your bag, it will be the game for you!

And, further to the DWMG Yahhoogroup discussion,  I still want to see 28mm silver catsuit-wearing lovelies in purple wigs   ;)

Some miniature suggestions:

Space Patrol Captain
Submarine Captain
Rescue Pilot
Indestructible Agent of Global Law Enforcement Agency

Most uniforms should include large epaulettes... ;)

No, but you don't get to be a Star Commander without a bit of savvy! Dick Garrison could be painted up as Steve...
