I'm thinking I would like to grab eureka's boats with Ahab etc and maybe put on a game at the club. Anyone recommend any rules to me? |

Hope this works, the Greenpeace version:

You might try to adapt Mammilian Mayhem, which is quite a good set for animal hunting on land. |

I have a pdf of WI#99 with the article mjkerner, mentions 'Moby Dick – the Wargame by Chris Peers'. I could email screen shots of the relevant pages if you can't get it any other way. |

I never would of thought that Moby Dick / whale hunting could be a miniature game, but now I think that is an amazing idea. |

And if too many save the whale protesters try to stop the game, pull out a Kraken figure instead. Or perhaps a sea serpent. :) You need to always have a "Plan B". After all, the show must go on! Dan

Try an email to Eureka, I know they. or some of their minions, ran some games at a Games Day when the figures were releaased. |

Thanks guys @CC im going to add a Kraken to the game now! Have to look for a good waterline 28mm one! |

Jason Perhaps if you can find some tentacles* for this one? auction Reaper has a few versions. This is just one: auction
auction Like I said, if you are suddenly surrounded by an angry crowd carrying save the whales picket signs (and perhaps torches and pitchforks), just take out the Kraken and make them all look silly. :) Always have a Plan B. And C, D … Dan
* Or are these the ones for that piece?
auction
Or maybe those go with this guy:

BillyNM- Is there any way I could get those rules email to me? I've been building up a hoard of 15mm boats, and need some good rules for Whalin' Men.
If so, I'd very much appreciate it, minibeady(@)yahoo.com |
