Adult themes....???

Are you reaching out into the new genre of wargame porn Mike??  You're a pioneer.

I mean, that may actually be unexplored territory.  I'll be open to being a playtester if I can get my wife onboard.

Just Kidding....Seriously though, I like nothing better than wargaming with average Joe models who are often undergunned, normal folks facing potential perils and monsters that (should they actually appear) they have little or no hope in surviving.  IS THAT SO WRONG???

Games run from 5-45 minuites long...occasionally they take longer, dependant on scenario. The average length is half hour, allowing the players to switch sides and play two games in about an hour. I'll see about some official statement when I get the time...until then be advised this game deals with adult themes and is fun as hell! :D

This is all sounding better and better. I'm rapidly reducing down to small, quick games after the shameless excesses of 2-day refights of Borodino etc from a few years ago. Smaller is definitely better for me these days. Time, space and money are all at a premium at present  :(

Put me on your "advance order" list - if one exists  :)

As it stands this is pretty much 'the list' until anything more official comes along.

...and on a related note dear old Dad died this afternoon. :'( After a hard fought 10 games death clutched him in its cold embrace. 6 losses and 4 wins, 3 leg wounds, a chest wound and a fear of heights... it was time. The game was 'Escape...Into Danger!'. The Godling followed the wounded adventurers and after a harrowing, dynamite flinging, Resolve test failing epic (45 min.) when the smoke cleared there was only the hideous eldritch beast left...chewing the goodguys into a paste for easy digestion. :P

Another hero meets his sloppy end...

This Spider Demon reminded me soo much of the Great Old One, [bEihort][/b].  I had to buy one.  You can't beat that for $5.00 on ebay.

A little paint and whoola.

I swear some of my best and cheapest monsters have been collectable clix with repaints.

This is another one of my favorites.  So cheaply purchased.  I wouldn't sell it for anything.  This ones a D&D mini Unhallowed - Caller in Darkness.
