Have you played any games set on an icy/wintry battlefield? |
| GypsyComet | 14 Jan 2012 11:53 a.m. PST |
Great, now you have me thinking about doing Ice OGRE again. |

I like the idea of a wintry battlefield but husband is not so keen and our SF terrain tends to be barren and sandy.
I think I put him off cause I want snowmen and stuff. |

"I think I put him off cause I want snowmen and stuff." That could very well do it! :) |

No but I am working on Ice World terrain. Someday I will present pictures when it is finished. I have 100+ snow covered trees of various sizes I picked up from Walmart in one of their post Christmas clearnace sales. |

Given that planets probably exist with greater seasonal variation than Earth's due to wider/more eccentric orbits or greater axial tilts, and still be habitable, then tit's not a huge jump to expect 'iceworld' condition,s even if temporary. I have played one or two small skirmishes between ScanFed winter troops and PanAfrican Union forces over resources ( using Irregular minis German ski troops for the ScanFed), with modified DS2 rules; It's a challenging environment when you need to roll for acquisition vs. glare at extended range. . . |

Yes, but only historicals. |
Micman  | 14 Jan 2012 1:36 p.m. PST |
Yes WWII, but planning an off world battle |

Not so far, but a frozen waste may appear in the (possibly solo) campaign that's whirring round in my head at the moment. |
| Agent 13 | 14 Jan 2012 1:40 p.m. PST |
I think it would be awesome but haven't yet. Unless playing Hoth in the SW d20 miniature game counts. |
| Mooseworks8 | 14 Jan 2012 2:10 p.m. PST |
yes and planning on an icestroid too. |
| David Manley | 14 Jan 2012 3:05 p.m. PST |
yes, an Iron Cow game some years ago |
| Augustus | 14 Jan 2012 3:31 p.m. PST |
There's a meteorite that hit the ground near here. I want to check it out. It won't take long. |
| Chris Palmer | 14 Jan 2012 4:07 p.m. PST |
Yes, had our annual Christmas War battle on New Year's Eve.

Yes I have. But I don't have as much terrain as I'd like for that battlefield yet… still a work in progress. -Chris K. |

Yes, several. Fantasy, Pulp and retro sci-fi. I have a white felt and use the winter pieces from War Torn Worlds. I have also used that snow and ice set from Heroscape – the crystals and the ice hexes are great. The crystals from AT-43 are excellent as well. |

A few 28mm WW2 Eastern front skirmish games on a white fleece blanket.not sci-fi yet though as they have been grimy urban battles. |
 etotheipi  | 15 Jan 2012 5:24 a.m. PST |
Yep! Historicals, Plausibles, SciFi (esp. VSF on frozen worlds), and Fantasy. |
| Given up for good | 15 Jan 2012 6:40 a.m. PST |
I'll just point you in the direction of link but have to say technically no for this one as the board is not finished I have had a game or two of Tusk and the last one of these was on a great snow board. |
| NoLongerAMember | 15 Jan 2012 8:25 a.m. PST |
@ Wargames Widow – he is just still sore for killing the asset in your other game. If you want a snow/ice world, build it, 6mm terrain is easy… |
| Dave Jackson | 15 Jan 2012 3:52 p.m. PST |
Yes, I have a 4 x 4 ice table I won in auction at my local GW store. |
| Der Krieg Geist | 15 Jan 2012 6:32 p.m. PST |
I have not yet but plan to. I love the look of the computer game Battlefield 2142, and want to do a set up that looks like that. I bought several sets of the 28mm Winter Garbed Sci-Fi troopers that Wiff Waff put out awhile back, plus WG Factory Shock Troopers and WarMachine Khador stuff converted to much more Sci-Fi. Can't wait to try it all out, but I am not sure I want to do an earth like Winter board or an alien one. |

Played a Mechwarrior game once featuring an airdrop onto a frozen ocean. Sometimes the ice was thick to absorb the impact. LT |
