I ran across this game on the QRF website under Miscellaneous. It appears to be a dinosaur game. I couldn't tell if the accessory packs were miniatures (nor their scale) or counters. Anyone know anything about this gem? Or have any pictures of the game/accessories? |

The miniatures are 15mm scale and are quite reasonable, though some of the poses are a bit static. I reviewed the game in Ragnarok 44 available from North Star (not that I expect you to buy a whole magazine for one review). My minis are packed away at the moment so I can't take any photos right now. |

Steve: Thanks for the info! Just knowing the scale is a big help. |

They are dinosaurs. Well, technically they are pre-dinosaur period, but they are miniatures. They are 15mm (as much as you can tell from a triassic period lizard!) There are some pictures in the PDF catalogue – I'll try and get them added to the website! |

The figures paint up nicely and work well with the game (if a bit static, true). QRF ran a game at Exeter a few years back and sold it to me on the spot – great fun. We used to play it at the Exmouth club more often, I must dig it out for the next couple of weeks. Highly recomended light hearted fun. |

There are some pics on the website now, of the first 3 packs |

Thanks to everyone for all the good information and pictures. I posted my order five minutes ago! Looking forward to playing. |
