Post Salute – and after a sucecssful outing to SELWG's show in October where we took heed of some critical comment when one game went on too long – we (The South London Warmords) ran the Scarlet Thunder game at Warfare at Reading.
The players take part
The Spectrum Convoy begins to move off
SPV close ups
SPV side swipe – damage markers showing on rear vehicle
The big 'Count Down' clock – an excellent purchase from eBay to set a time limit on games
Low shot of convoy showing modelled road surface
Umpires helping players
Dirty old trucks… More (and different) pics here link The game was previously mentioned in TMP postings regarding its manufacture and so forth so I won't go into that here. Surfice to say it's a four player game based on the 60's TV series and – system wise – somewhat on the board game Thunder Road. John Treadaway |

I wonder if Gerry Anderson has seen the wonderful work you've done. |

Nice job on the roads and vehicles. Fantastic looking game. I only have one question, who's Captain Scarlet? |

Thanks all for the nice things said. The SPVs are from Product Enterprises (out of production now – I've been planning this game for a few years – but still available on eBay – for example auction ) Corgi do SPVsbut they're too small (but work for 20mm games) – see here for info on the smaller vehicle werelords.com/pages/scarlet Patrol cars are modern Corgi and easier to find. The MSV is an original Dinky repaint with stickers from someone who specialises in material to refurbish old Dinky cars. Thanks again for the comments and thanks to all those that played (or even just watched): we had a blast and the rolling road (built from pink foam and mountedon lego wheels) worked a treat. John |

Great photo report. It looks like a great deal of fun and I agree with you the large count-down clock was a fantastic purchase and adds to the game. Tony |
