[Late to the game] Hammer's Slammers
« on: February 05, 2007, 01:06:09 PM »
I've seen models from this game before, but this morning I stumbled over this site and decided to give it a try.

So I headed over to http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/ocproducts.htm and ordered some Gecko vehicles and other stuff.  :mrgreen:

Any opinions on this game/models?

I was there the day that Horus fell.

I haven't played the game, but Old Crow have the most beeeeyoootiful vehicles in the world.

In 2003, I painted some models from the old GZG Slammers range... but the OC models are far, far superior.

The books are cool, if a bit dreary reading. Military SF by a lawyer who went to Vietnam and didnīt go crazy. Go figure.

Mind you, Iīve got a subscription to his newsletter and had the first books imported by my FLBS, so donīt think Iīd diss the Drakeman.

I've got quite a few of the 25mm vehicles from OLD CROW...not the hammers slammers line but the others....

Fantastic models...Haven't painted any yet, but the casting are almost perfect.  Very few air bubbles etc.

Really good stuff.

Anybody played the game or read the book and can tell me how the rules (not the background, not the figures - just the rules!) are?
"I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?"
"Uh, I better look in the manual... This book must be out of date. I don't see "Prussia", "Siam" or "autogyro"...
