When all the chrome and language is stripped away its just move and shoot this many hexes needing this die roll to hit and this to damage. Just different toys.

Shame upon you!<br /><br />Seriously though, this looked like a great game, and although Sci-Fi wargaming is not my thing, I can appreciate both the excellent terrain and toys that were used ... and it certainly sounded like you both had a lot of fun. I particularly like the heavy artillery which looks as if it could easily appear in a World War I or Inter-war battle; likewise the tanks.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-35790101523025184812016-02-24T23:13:02.676-04:002016-02-24T23:13:02.676-04:00My understanding is that the maker has skedaddled ...My understanding is that the maker has skedaddled but that's pure on line hearsay or gossip if you prefer. <br /><br />Of course that doesn't mean the rules stop working and the toys are repossessed so one can still play. Retailers with stock are still selling and presumably ebay etc. I haven't bought anything myself but had bought a reviresco 25mm tripod a dozen years ago which I kicked in and am quite happy to play with Ron's toys. We did our own translation to a hex grid.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-37986109347901200932016-02-24T23:03:08.475-04:002016-02-24T23:03:08.475-04:00Some of its a bit odd but so far all of the games ...Some of its a bit odd but so far all of the games have been fun and once one learns ths ropes its old fashioned tactics not fancy toys that wins.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-52567761084168111152016-02-24T23:00:57.313-04:002016-02-24T23:00:57.313-04:00Ron started using hexes about 7? years ago.
