Nice! I will have to figure out how to give it the same Egyptian treatment I gave Frostgrave… I can't think offhand of any island group with a thriving culture that was contemporary with the New Kingdom…certainly not the Myceneans or the Trojan War…

Excellent. I sense a lot of Pirate related hobbying in 2017.
So many games, so little time.

Very interesting...two questions leap to mind:

Are we going to be seeing a plastic pirates box set?

And, how cross-compatible will the games be?  Could one play a game pitting a Wizard's warband against a Heritor warband if one were inclined towards a big mash-up of the two games?

From reading the link, you can fight wizard versus heritor but it may be very unbalanced.
He that trades Liberty for Security will soon find that he has neither.

Quick note, the above picture is not from the game and was taken from the internet to illustrate my Wargame News and Terrain blog post. Not sure where you found it but it was mentionned below the picture in my blog post. Would have been cool though!

Chinese pirates!!

As a fan of Wuxia, I would LOVE to do a boxed set of plastic Chinese pirates/bandits/adventurers.

I would be surprised if the demand was there to justify the investment in plastic, but I'm almost certain that there will be a metal figure or two that will fit the bill...
