checks out some 10/15mm railroad tracks for wargaming.Nick Lund and I are getting very arty and doing a demo of the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang game at London's Victoria and Albert Museum on 31st October as part of the Cold War Modern Exhibition.
Before then, there will be lots more KKBB miniatures and scenery - Evil Geniuses (including Robo-Fuhrer), KGB men, Rogue Agents, Bikini Girls, Guards in Hats, missile silo equipment and all the doorways (from blast doors to vaults) you could ever want - and new packs from Artizan, too.
At the V&A, we'll be playing two scenarios for our DIY boardgame:
MY MISSILE'S BIGGER THAN YOURS
A top secret U.S. nuclear missile silo has been seized by the Evil Genius Obermass and his boiler-suited minions. Unless he is paid $1,000,000 USD, he will use it to obliterate an idyllic small town somewhere in America. Whilst schoolchildren practice ducking and covering, a specially selected, racially de-segregated team of U.S. agents has entered the base through a secret entrance known only to the Pentagon - they only have a short time to prevent the launch.
ICH BIN EIN BERLINER (or Carry On Under the Kurfurstendamm)
In a network of dirty and decaying bunkers underneath the Berlin Wall, a group of British agents is attempting to smuggle a defecting Soviet general into the British Sector. The British team comprises our 3 top men plus several new recruits (bearing a strong resemblance to members of the Carry On team). Pursuing them is a gang of KGB heavies led by the deadly Kolonel Krepps. But all is not as it seems: the Soviet general is playing a double game. Or is he?
