Wrote up a quick game today that takes about an hour to play. It's Hillbillies and Aliens although the game is so simple it would work with just about anyone and Aliens. I'll put it together and put a nice cover on it and put it up as a couple dollar download on Wargamevault. I think small cheap games might be a nice way to get some of these ideas out there that I've had. Special thanks to Dan Van Horn and Rick Weaver for some of the ideas and of course Aliens, Farmers, Hillbillies and cows everywhere… link |

Better hurry up and copyright it (and the sequel) or SyFy channel might try to make a SERIES/TV movie out of it…(which wouldn't be bad, IF Bruce Campbell was in it!) on the other tentacle….these are the folks who brought us 'Megashark/Octoshark' and similar fare…. Slishfully,

Cool! Who makes those aliens? |
| Tankrider | 20 Aug 2011 4:52 p.m. PST |
Base it on Aliens and Cajun Swamp Rats and package it as "Galactic Comfort".. would make a great sequel and Powers Boothe and Keith Carradine are both still around for Part II!! |

All great comments guys! Jake love the trailer park! I could use some of those myself! Anyway this would be something so simple with such little production value it'll be a blast! |

One of our long-time Southern Front dealers has run
a game for a number of years called _X-files Meets
Mayberry_. Game is always a hoot ! |

I think the Grays are Tengu and the hillbilles are a combination of Copplestone and Murch's castings though there may be others. These figure's are all Rick's. Just a quick update in that I'll be writing up the rules tonight. I've already spoken with my layout and artists and they are on board too. It's going to be a cheap fun download that should provide hours of entertainment. |

Rob, Please do try to get a figure list. I can use more hillbillies for my trailer park! Jake |
| Watchtower78 | 23 Aug 2011 4:34 a.m. PST |
I will work that up Jake. Rules nearing completion. Stayed up late last night. I laughed nearly the entire time I wrote this. Here's a sneak peek. link |

Hooah. I look forward to purchasing a copy when they are available. |
| Watchtower78 | 31 Aug 2011 12:06 p.m. PST |
Just got the cover! Artist did a fantastic job! He's going to make some mods and then we're going to get into the art! I'll post the cover up on my blog when it's ready. |
| Watchtower78 | 31 Aug 2011 6:23 p.m. PST |
Cover art is ready! James nailed the theme and setting perfectly! link |

Howdy, people keep asking for a miniatures list, so here goes! The greys are Tengu, I think they are the best on the market. Before the greys I used Pulp Figures Radon Zombies along with some GW Squiggs-just for that fun 50's feel. I think Dan Van Horn used the Zombie Smith aliens, which was also a great choice. The hillbillies are a mix of Blue Moon,which are actually nicer than the the painted ones on their website would lead you to believe. They can be found under their gangster line. Copplestone, RAFM's old Call of Cthulhu series and Reapers villagers fleshed out the rest of the clan. Even though Rob didn't choose to use them, a few of Bob Murch's Bowery boys work fine. The robot is from the excellent Retro Raygun line from Hydra. Cheers! Rick Weaver |

Art's done. Layout started. I have several supplements planned for future release. Can't you just hear the still bubbling and the grays coming? Available for sale soon! |
| Pyrate Captain | 10 Sep 2011 8:13 p.m. PST |
WOW! I can't wait for the rules. I love the pics. I live near Paducah and I can tell you this game is as real as it gets. |
| Watchtower78 | 18 Sep 2011 9:08 a.m. PST |
Out next week. About twenty pages. probably will be five bucks. Lots
of great art and a great layout too. Quick, fun, funny rules not to be taken too seriously..and the mysterious Men in Plaid. Of course if this does well the first supplement will be The Men in Plaid and.those other guys… |

Hillbillies versus Zombies are planned next. ICFBTS – Something's in the Sauce. Special ability of one of the factions of zombies is 'thriller' they start dancing and the hillbillies start freaking out. |
