ZynVaded!™

Just got back from Gen Con 2010 and while I was there found a really fun game called ZynVaded!™.

I have a writeup on my website.

Looks nice

Any idea if it is available somewhere?

[MrHarold]

Fun! I like it!

[Tri3]

Yes.  You can purchase it directly from John email him at admin@wehaveissuespub.com.  The rule set and figures are $30.  I am planning on painting my set up this weekend.   

[Comsquare]

Thanks

Will contact him.

I like the idea, hows it play?

[Tri3]

You basically have 3 figures to a side.  Each side comes with a heavy, a leader and a scout.  The scout can be replaced with an assassin.  Each figure has various stats and hit points.  The Heavy has the most and I think the scout has the least.

To kill a figure you reduce its hit points to zero.  They have various scenarios that look quite fun.

The figures are 1 to 1 scale.  Meaning they are the actual size.  They could easily be used in 28mm if you prefer that scale.  I don't think it will effect the rules in any way.

Terrain and stuff can be anything from coffee mugs to computer boards.

I read the basic idea is that its a war between aliens that are actually 28mm high, invading earth, fighting on tables etz, ours planets natural battlefields for small aliens.

[Steve F]

So it's an SF version of Fairy Meat, then?

The minis do look useful for 28mm aliens.

[Tri3]

I wouldn't say it is a SF version of Fairy Meat, since they don't go around eating each other.    At least not yet.

John, one of the owners said they had 2 more alien races in the works.

any chance of a close up of the minis ?

[Tri3]

TheShadow here you go.

I might be mistaken but it looks like your miniatures incorporate components that originate from GW miniatures, I spot a GW sniper rifle barrel and a Kroot rifle barrel end, the grenades look like it but could be different and the same goes for the ammo boxes.

All I can say is tread carefully. 

[MrHarold]

Hmmm... now that you mention it...

[Daeothar]

Looks like a fun game to play during lunch time. Like the box it's in too

I do have the same recognition issues that were mentioned above though; I hope they'll be able to get away with that. Then again; the parts used are generic enough and I doubt even GW has the legal department to support them claiming IP over particular gun barrel, magazine, drum, grenade and searchlight shapes... Besides; the drum mags with the Kroot barrels on the Leaders can be explained away as an alien PPSh-41-ish  sort of gun, etc...

I certainly like the look of the G.N.A.T. Will that be the third faction (since it's in another colour)?
