Perry's Travel Battles Game

[Cubs]

The painted version looks pretty. No close-ups of the figures yet.

Agreed - this got me wavering.

Very cool. Nice looking terrain board, which appears to be 10" x 20".

[tomrommel1]

nice indeed

Looks intriguing & can see possible applications; e.g., a quick 'Corunna, Pie & Pint' down the pub one night. I would love to have a peek into the rules.

If it's meant to garner boardgame interest, it's a shame it's not on BGG. I may ask if they want it put up there, as I've done that for several sets of wargames rules.

Price - not sure yet, it's at an amount that makes me hesitate in pressing the 'Buy' button. One to ponder.

I wonder if the hills are a paint affect, or are they actual elevations?

[Costanzo]

I think this is a new and good idea in a hobby too conservative. The next step should be an expansion with the game campaign.

Elevations - see the unpainted version on the first page of this thread.

The professionally painted and flocked version does look attractive, but would we expect any less from a publicity shot? Until the rules are revealed it is still not clear whether the 'raw' components in the box represent good value.

(But I am weak, my pre-order is already in).

I like the look of it myself. glad the painted version has received less childish whinging haha

Anyone get any pictures or info pertaining to this at Salute?

[nic-e]

I saw it at salute and nearly got one but decided to wait.

I know it's obvious, but it's really small! Much smaller than i though, but it's a neat little thing and it looked to be giving the layers a fun time.

I spent part of the Friday night before Salute watching the Perry's and a couple of chaps playing it on the bar table next to me, it fitted neatly onto a small bar table and everybody seemed to be having fun.  I was a bit dubious about the idea when I first heard about it, but I can see the attraction, useful for post big game entertainment.

Interesting review, well written I think, with some pictures:
