Aliens versus hillbillies
« on: August 20, 2011, 09:50:21 PM »
Wrote up a quick game today that takes about an hour to play. It's Hillbillies and Aliens although the game is so simple it would work with just about anyone and Aliens. I'll put it together and put a nice cover on it and put it up as a couple dollar download on Wargamevault. I think small cheap games might be a nice way to get some of these ideas out there that I've had. Special thanks to Dan Van Horn and Rick Weaver for some of the ideas and of course Aliens, Farmers, Hillbillies and cows everywhere...

I like to look of the game. I find that I am moving more towards smaller sized games. They can be lots of fun.
Thanks for sharing.

Are the hillbillies from Blue Moon?

Where are the Grays from?

Looks like a great game, pity there are no more close ups. I think the grays are from Tengu models and are currently sold painted in the bazar.

Thanks guys. I will get the rules done and then over to layout. It will probably only be a few weeks and this will be available.

I'm very anxious to see these rules as there are several hillbillies AND aliens on my painting table as I type this.

Rules nearing completion. Stayed up late last night. I laughed nearly the entire time I wrote this. Here's a sneak peek.

I'm using the aliens from Zombiesmith. They are so cute. I'm thinking about painting them in Star Trek uniform colors, gold for command, blue for sciences, red for security, etc..

So many choices, I found these, but they may be a bit serious looking for this game  ;)
