Check out the movie "Dark of the Sun". Reminders me of the plot line.

Awesome Dark of the Sun game! But where is Claire (Yvette Mimieux)?

Gaz004509 Mar 2014 11:57 p.m. PST

Cracking figures! Looks like it was a good game!

Wonder if they had to wait some turns for the time lock on the safe? what a fun looking game.

and did anyone shoot the old nazi?

Now that looks nice. And it really does remind me of "Dark of the Sun."

Checked the blog. Does anyone know who makes the figures? I'm assuming 20mm. They really look great.

nnascati Supporting Member of TMP10 Mar 2014 5:42 a.m. PST

The figures are 28mm. They look like mostly the Britannia Congo Range with some others thrown in.

to all:
thank you for the kind words regarding the paint job on the figures. I am one of bob's painting slaves and did the lion's share of those congo figures.

The novel is pretty damned good as well.

John Leahy Sponsoring Member of TMP10 Mar 2014 5:40 p.m. PST

Agreed, nice looking game! I also am a fan of the movie. Use it, Dogs of War and the Wild Geese and you have some very cool Merc goodness working. grin

Thanks,

John

Played a game at Historicon one time that was based on Dark of the Sun. Train pulls into the town and you have so many turns to achieve your objectives before the natives start rushing in. Alot of fun.
