Dr De'ath has kindly allowed me to post his photos from the second game at BLAM.  This was the better game inasmuch as I had started to wake up (!), there were a couple of rules tweaks and each player had personal objectives (which as expected encouraged players to interact rather than just hunt for supplies).

So, courtesy of Dr De'ath:

Cor! - that looks truly great Steve! The snow effects, the frozen bodies, snowed in vehicles - I'm feeling cold just looking at it!

A few more photos, this time from the table set up and the first game. 

These are all courtesy of Eric The Shed and his Shed Wars blog: thanks!  :D

The game at BLAM was so enjoyable that I'm now investigating the possibility of using SSS as the basis for a Victorian science fiction game, based around survivors of the Martian invasion in War of the Worlds.

Nice Idea. But I think the rules work more for modern times. Maybe you can use IHMN with these setting.

I've nearly done the write-up of what happened in the games..... coming soon.

In the meantime, did I mention that there will be a Z-Z-Zombie supplement  (or even V-V-Vampire if you prefer! Dirk?  :D ).

On their way, a team of eight ICE (Infection Control & Elimination) troopers in boots, gaiters, winter clothing (to be painted urban camo), with personal gear, helmets, face masks, gloves and close combat weapons including MP5s and short swords. Sculpted by Whiff Whaff.





In due course I'd like to add another 4 with support weapons, sniper, etc and maybe some casualties and infected versions.   For their role in the game they might ally with survivors..... or they might not  ;)

They are rather nice Steve! I can see lots of uses for those as well as SSS; 7TV, Pulp Alley, etc.

Again another great looking game at BLAM. I'm suprised any of you who were there actually managed to play a game. I'm reasonably certain I would have spent all my time standing in the middle of the hall taking a tentative step to first one game and then another, but never reaching any of them before I was again distracted by another table of goodies.
The snow  looks great, covering everything in a very natural manner. It is sad that it hides so many fine details of your scenery.
Like the look of the ICE squaddies you and Whiff Whaff are working on. Loking forward to seeing how you paint up te first squad.

Great stuff, Steve.
 :-*

Perfect for sooooo many uses.
You clever git, you!
 :D ;)

They are rather nice Steve! I can see lots of uses for those as well as SSS; 7TV, Pulp Alley, etc.

My Northern voice speaks again!

I was just thinking exactly the same thing.
They should work great for this idea that I have for next year.
I have a feeling that the promised order from MM is going to end up being....pretty much everything!

Cheers folks

I'd like to add a sniper, a flamer, maybe two lmgs.... Long distance control, clean up and mass suppression.  What ya think?

Btw, the design plaudits for these go to Whiff Whaff  :)
