"Best Stephen King Novel for Wargamers?" Topic

Which of his novels would you most like to game out in miniature on the wargaming table?

The Dark Tower.

Cujo or Running Man

The Stand.

Salem's Lot certainly has some skirmish level gaming possibilities.

The Mist… group of survivors on a board covered with cotton balls where you cant see more than a few inches. Monsters in the dark. Move from building to building and try to scavenge supplies or die horribly.

Battleground – man attacked by a chest of green army men.

Tommyknockers.

The stand…

You know, sometimes you'd need multiples. Take the Running Man movie (yes I read the short story.) The bits in which costumed characters pursue Arnold and Friends through an abandoned cityscape is an obvious super hero game. Seizing and holding the communications center with a bunch of partly-trained kids and one serious professional against escalating numbers of security personnel is a moderns skirmish game. Rules suitable for Pegasus Bridge would probably work. They're in the same story, but you'd about have to build different forces, find different rules and build different terrain.

The Stand is probably the best for faction gaming, although I like Haywire's idea of the Mist as a skirmish/scavenger/stealth game. Not sure I'd use cotton balls, just a "limited visibility" mechanic and maybe give the monsters the ability to spontaneously spawn nearby (perhaps in response to sound/failed stealth), to represent them coming out of the mist with no warning.
