Does anyone remember a hex based US army v. giant ants game that appeared in a very early issue of Miniature Wargames (issue 2?). I'm trying to track it down. Thanks Jim |

I'm working on just such a game but I'm just playing Starship Troopers and swapping out the modes. Ants become warrior bugs and US soldiers become mobile infantry… imdb.com/title/tt0047573 Mark "Extra Crispy" Severin

The "Them" game shows up at Historicon every year. A beautiful layout, set in the sewers, always draws big crowds. |

Any links to photos of the sewer set up? SJ Games discontinued their Giant Ants. That was a great shame. Andrew |

I've run my Us vs THEM! game in 1:72 scale several times at DC area conventions: a NOVAG con and the last TriaDCon. Giant ants pop up out of antholes that start opening up at random (i.e., good old toss of a 4-sided die over the shoulder) all over a small 1950's desert town. The townspeople scramble to gather their families and fight their way out of town while waiting for the Army to arrive. The players seem to get a big kick out of it. Mulligan |

I've done Giants Ants using Black Tree's old Doctor Who range ants – very good fun. I would love to see pics of the sewer game |
