From the fine folks at Brigade games…some of their minis for this project have leaked out…50's greasers, a bowling team (great minis but somewhat odd out of context), etc..

The basic demo rules are here and it looks like great themed fun.

link You should not need to join to view the download, if so I will make a different link. (if you join, then go to the atomic cafe thread half way down and check first sticky post…again sorry)

So the search is on for 28mm appropriate 50's cars/trucks for the gangs.

Damn you need to join, sorry I will find a backdoor…gimma a minute or two. :(

Ok I did a search but not that good, TMP already had this as a theme TMP link ah well…it looks like the rules are in testbed mode…so I guess show your support of a cool theme and join? I will drop a line to the grand visar of rattrapiness and see if he can publicly release them.

Sorry for bait and switch, it was not my intent… :(

I've never been a grand Vizier before. :-)

Though I am writing the rules for Brigade, this is their baby. Once the final rules come out, I will try and convince Lon to release a downloadable demo version from their website and not the forums.

But it is outside of my hands for this product. I'm on your side though and will continue trying to convince Lon otherwise. :-)

Operator5 here is your grand vizier hat to make it official picture of course you know that the word vizier/wazier means to bear the burden…so it is on your shoulders now, enjoy the promotion!

:)

Cool. I always wanted to wear a fez.

You could always be an EVIL grand vizier, but that requires a full goatee.

Ok, maybe there will be more action on this front than in the forum for the game.

The game looks quite interesting in that small gang of themed weirods kind of way, which in a Gorka-Morka, Nercomunda, Cadilacs and Dinosaurs way I am on board.

Build up strange small gangs, load them up onto/into late 50's cars/trucks…atomic giant ants, rad zombies, men in black leading troops in gas masks, greasers with big brutes to back them up link …atomic rebels with a cause.

So where is the love. The game forum is slow, fairly inactive, and just barely moving. I think I am spoiled by TMP with many hits daily on any given subject.

If you have any interest please stop by the site…and yes the great and powerful keeper of the flame requires you join the forum…everyone gets in and you gain access to the demo game version.

Join and get this game off its feet…there are a handful of dedicated people but there needs to be more, more, more I tell you!

I want to be on board but there needs to be more action from the players with feedback.

So join the forum, link check out the demo game, get some minis, and play.

I hate to see another fun idea go by the way side.

I say run it over and see if it gets up again!
