Miniature Wargames (October) issue 390 hits the shelves today. It includes a submission I made using Pendraken 10mm Sci-fi figures and Kallistra hexes (though squares or open boards could be used). the article has a background, 3 linked scenarios and a set of rules. Aliens have landed in tghe UK and a specialst force is sent to deal – can they 'contain' the aggresive alien warrior in the town? Link to Blog entry – link |

My subscription copy hasn't arrived yet (shakes fists at the sky and cries aloud "why, oh ye gods of gaming, why do ye taunt me in this way? Surely as a subscriber I should get first dibs on the new copies? Why do you play with me like some hapless soul adrift on the turbulent seas of fate ?"). But…fits on a large pinboard….so if I converted to 6mm (size matters!) or even 2mm it'd fit on a small pinboard… I have been looking for just such small scale games as I have a nagging desire to set up some (for want of a better word) microgames. |

Congratulations and well done. |

Thank you. My Kallistra tiles are 4" (100mm) across, so all my units of movement and fire ranges are based around a 4" measure and that fits a large pinboard, so any reduction on that ratio should get you into an even smaller space. |

Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow ! |

Steve Jones has done another of his multiple period scenarios …. always my favourite part of the mag. he is including a WWII version in 15mm on a 3 x 2 foot table, right up your street I think :-) |
