Some fantastic quotes there! :lol:

I must watch it again ASAP!

I wonder if it's feasible to game it as a VSF/Pulp version. There should be enough in the Copplestone & similar ranges to cover it.

Hmmm.........

I'm sure Miniature Wargames or Wargames Illustrated did a scenario of this in a pulp style.  Just found it, it was included in a set of rules called Mush? by a Gary Hughes. The scenario was Ice Station Wildebeest. Is this the same one mentioned above?

I picked up a snap-together kit of an S tank about a decade ago, a bit like those Armourcast kits that you get now. If I could remember where the box went I'd tell you the maker.

I used it for a science-fiction vehicle.

Which issue of WI or MW was the article in? I may have one stashed away somewhere?

I was looking at a photocopy I'd made, but found the issue now. It was in Wargames Illustrated 196.

For late VSF / Pulp try looking at the Great White North range from HLBS - US and British/Canadian troops in greatcoats and fur hats for 1919. Fight these against pulp-era Russians in greatcoats (e.g Copplestone) or against Zeppelin troops from Pulp Figures.
