Ahoy from afar

[Ensign Patch]

Greetings one and all,

I hope you have found the postings on the 'other' forum of interest so far?

While strolling around Hall 2 which is where the ARES stand is located
i came across this:


The decks are built for 28mm gaming figures


A view of the top deck


The gun deck Partial view


Each deck is divided into squares (approx 2" square)
The equivalent deck is on a same size card base
placed on a table near by.

The game was crowded so i couldn't get a decent picture
i will try again over the next couple of days.

The 'crew' are played by gamers, the officers by the GM
a fictitious battle rages...the players react accordingly
and can and do die...gruesomely described on action cards!

Thought the ship ~ a pirate ship ~ Naturally! was amazing
I will try to get a chance to chat with e game organisers
and look at the rules...

Update to follow if i can.

Regards, to all.

What scale is it in Simon?

[Bligh]

The 28mm gaming figures are usually accounted as 6feet from base to top of the hat Alastair, so with a bit of mathmagic, the nearest scale should be in the region of 1:72nd.

You usually call 28 mm 1:64. 1:72 is a little too small for 28. They actually fit better with 20 mm due to traditional metal miniatures are usually thicker than scale modelers miniatures.
