6mm? Might as well play a boardgame! ;)

[Slugbalancer]

And still have a board game which involves collecting dead bodies in a plague-stricken West Country town. I do fancy converting that to 28mm

I'm intrugued. What game is it?

Good fun in a beer and skittles kinda way.

He's not dead, he's just resting!

Thanks. I'll have to look out for it. Looks like it would combine well with ale.

Board games are branching out though, I mean look at the success of games such as Conan and Zombicide? Yes, they can be converted to tabletop games, however they were designed as board games

Yes they are boardgames, but, to play the Devil"s Advocate, only just. Because a big element of many new, so called, board games are the 15-28mm figures supplied with them, Anyway, I'm biased and with Penda on this, and to quote Sergeant Brad Iceman Colbert on this, anything smaller than 20mm is just downright Country and Western-Special Olympics-Gay.

Zombiecide isn't that great a game but the miniatures and artwork is excellent. Much prefered Last Night on Earth as a Zombie game, much less figures but the story plays out better I thought.

I enjoy both equally to be honest. I’ve recently bought some of the original Zombicide boxes after being introduced to it at the club, we had a massive game set up with 3D terrain, not the boards.

My daughter particularly enjoys it...

Oh dear since reading this i can't lose the image of a 70 year old world class sprinter dressed in a lilac jump suit whistling "take me home country roads " while preparing his next batch of 6mm figures....

:o

Only just joined so catching up!
If you want to play something that looks like a battle, and don't have a village hall at your disposal, them 6mm is perfect (although 10mm comes close).

I thought you'd been a bit quiet!

I'm sure its only temporary.
