Hmm, Terminator, Pirates of the Caribbean, Alien vs Predator, Gnomes, Stratego, and How to Train your Dragon. That is an impressive licensing coup. (ahem, ahem, cough cough) |

Then when you have the miniatures post pictures of them for all of us to see! It will be awesome! Nothing could go wrong they are Russians… you can trust them… totally… any way let us know what happens.
Cheers,
Mike |

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The Translation machine Says: "A fascinating tactical game based on the movie "The Terminator. Salvation "for 2-3 players aged 12 years. A single computer network Skynet attacked. Judgment Day has come. Humanity is on the brink of destruction. The world dominated by machines … In your hands will be different teams of people or machines, which come together in a deadly confrontation in the vast nuclear attacks devastated America. The power of machines against Skynet courage and audacity of people – that you prefer? The world's future in the hands of players! The duration of the game 40-60 minutes. The game uses 36 realistic figures." 36 realistic figures! |

That's actually a frighteningly decent translation … I, for one, welcome our new Skynet master. |

Boardgamegeek has some pics but not much info:
link I would guess the termies are between 12 and 18mm (based on the fold in the board (background) and on other board games) |

As to the license, it's highly possible the company does indeed have licenses to produce all those products… in Russia. But don't hold your breath waiting for a release in the EU, British Commonwealth or USA. |

From what I've seen, Zvezda is fast turning into the Russian Games Workshop. They are becoming pretty big in Russia itself and are changing their 1/72nd scale model output to smaller and more expensive sets to match their games rather than the classic Airfix style boxed sets. |

I'm very tempted. Would prefer it if all the vehicles were to scale though, then I could you them for wargames as well as the boardgame. But probably asking too much… |

How soon til we can put grubby mitts on the miniatures :) |

Terminator Risk.
Meh…
Still, it is a shame that these products cannot be distributed to our corner of the world: they are not fantastic in and of themselves, but would be great sources for cheap miniatures and bits, etc… |
| Fishbuckle | 23 Feb 2012 2:43 a.m. PST |
Are the rules available? Not sure what the evidence is for comparing it to Risk? Hopefully it will be better than that. |

Still, it is a shame that these products cannot be distributed to our corner of the world well, all those years of hating the Reds, Commies whatever ya called them has left thinking they shouldn't share their nice new toys with the aggressive capatilist pig dogs – or some such nonsense ;-) |
looks at another boxed set of cyborgs.
