I’m toying with the idea of a raid on a dodgy deal in a hangar at some point or a light plane being busted for gun running. If anyone likes the Sweeney / Minder / Life on Mars vibe then I can only say “Geezers – Shutit” by Killer B Games. I like them a lot - the action bits and the trial rules (along with my own ideas for “fitting them up”) are excellent for the dynamic bit of a game – the chase, fisticuffs, arrest stuff. The car rules are fun too – for the ramming at the airfield I simply rolled against the driver’s “wheels” skills – as per the rules - the ramming went in - but I then resolved it dynamically by gently moving the models, ramming the getaway car to see where it went and then extrapolating the move from there. Crunch. <br /><br />I recall a plea for more pics. Well, our digicamera is fine for hols but not much use for figures; also - to be honest, there isnt much to see! I tend to use a few things to set the scene (aircraft control tower, nissen hut, a car or two) and then let the imagination do the rest. I simply have not built East Whittington in the garage. Sorry folks - I think though that Mark and Mike are going to make up for me here.<br /> <br /><br />When the SAS get involved – and they will, it’s just a matter of time really – I may use Geezers for the crash bang stuff – again the dynamic moments of action but Wessex Games’ rules also look like they may fit the bill. Mark and I had a good talk about them and they certainly look to be the job for the kind of games we are running.Master Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944114725835215561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690131777600341387.post-29931641704257153542010-08-19T07:46:07.936+01:002010-08-19T07:46:07.936+01:00Brilliant!
