@Hudson Adams Is there a price or incentive for the teams to win (other than not dying), i.e. trophies or medals given by the game organizers? ¿Has there been cheating by a team?

I tried taking some photos but my lighting is pretty bad. I'll try posting them soon.
@William Ings No? Where was I demanding anything? I've already clarified that what I've recieved from hudson adams is enough, and honestly this thread does not need to continue. (I'll be keeping it...
@Estoc you are litterly demanding the posting of a flag and that the rules of the forum be changed to fit your point of view (Despite there already being rules about hate speech), how are you not b...
A huge, tactical gyrojet lungbuster with a 300 round magazine, AND a barrel shroud? Come on man, you know the 23rd century will be a really dangerous, dystopian place! If they could possibly...
Did nobody read the second line? Seriously, I won't say this again.
@JTam I think its been demonstrated why those rules are in place.
Speaking of the rules: This thread should have been shut down out of the gate. It would be really nice to have a place to talk about hobby stuff without it getting bogged down in political...
@Geoff Maybury Yeah, I go by Bill. Though if my wife is angry, I do hear "William" and people at work (before I worked from home) called me Bob, and Keith... I never corrected anyone... :) I even g...
@Benjamin Hayward But those things have shown up in this hobby. On WGA's Facebook page we saw posters calling a Jewish gamer "woke" for not wanting to play as the Nazis. WGA liked ...
I got a white paper as a background and take pictures with my phone. Use some settings to create more contrast, so the miniatures stand out. Here is the setup.
Some answers in no particular order: 1. There are lots of alien teams as well which we will get to but humans are particularly savage and warlike. 2. Human uprisings - you'll have to ...
@Bill Thomas @Bill Thomas I think you nailed it in one fast, and very easily learned,and as i said great art work. Iv`e gone the Spectra figures aproach, for the game and brought the original &poun...
If teams have been participating for millennia what allows them to exist for that long? Are they cloned, or held in suspended animation? If a participant dies how do they get replaced? How exact...
How are losses handled? Taking the example of the Roman team which has been playing for 2500 years, there have inevitably been deaths and it has been some time since there have been any legionnair...
Are the games planed as a real "War", with the sides given obectives to achive, and then released into a "Zone", that has full "Film" coverage, but a totally realistic enviorment.
@William Redford Thank you, it really looks a gand piece of kit. You seem to do well on your side of the pond for sales, I joked a few posts back, that sales of that nature don`t make it here, 10% ...
Are all of the teams selected because of their combat prowess in some way? What's the galciv's process for selecting teams? Death Fields IS for entertainment, correct?
So my questions are: What is it about the human race that makes the aliens value them as competitors? Are other alien races used in the same way? Are the arenas specially constructed Gunner Games...
Just some notes to help people understand it better. This is set about 500 years from now so there are teams (like Ooh Rah) who are established well after the 21st century. There's no...
How have you been taking photos? I don't have a webcam so can't do it from my computer, and would like to know what you use for your photos, and any tips for taking photographs of models.
I've got my pre-order in for the new 02 Hundred game and I'm really looking forward to the new minis that come with it... that said, as I already have a sizeable collection of North African terrain...
Alright, since it seems not everyone gets this: Pride IS NOT Political. Pride IS NOT Sexual in Nature. Pride IS NOT Something That Affects You. Just because some politician ...
@Yronimos Whateley I had forgotten about the gyrojet firearms. I bet a 23rd century gyrojet pistol would be powerful enough to blow someone's lungs right out of their body.
@Geoff Maybury BPRE is a bit of a "lifestyle" thing, lots of "operators with beards" doing cool things with cool weapons and NVGs... the graphic novels are superb in terms of artwork, and the minia...
@JTam again, excellent, I'm glad both sides are represented well :) Ah, '58 pattern... the picture you show is very much an "as issued" setup minus the waterbottle pouch (es), and generally many of...
@Bill Thomas What are your thoughts/impressions of the 58 pattern battle rattle. How well does the rear belt pouches integrate/non-interfer/or interfer with the ruck? (Do the Brits cal...
Just for "full disclosure" I do a little light re-enacting for this period, hence the DPM and Webbing collection 😁
You know you're among friends when Maverick gets a thread like this 😍
@JTam excellent! I don't always buy WI but that looks worth getting... although I have a big pile of old 68 patt DPM and '58 webbing here for ref 🤣 The Argentinians (contrary to opular opinion!) di...
@Brian Van De Walker I hope you enjoy them, the quallity is amazing, art work, first rate. I needed more, deapth, I like ammo to run out to cause drama, when a soldier is not near enough to a colle...
I'm a little torn, because I cringe at the rather fake lets stick a flag on our website to "prove our support" when for most its just an attempt to avoid controversy. Its not going to affect me eit...
@PEter GIlham why would you be banned? You're not expressing intolerance or hate.
@Red Bee do you think we need to do more or do you agree with what I said above?
@Geoff Maybury Yeah, franchise works can be a mixed bag, though those rules do sound like something I might pick up.
Without chariots the question is moot. I will not be buying either if chariots are unavailable as you cannot field an Egyptian army without them!
They do look like Trench Fighters. A source of possible inspiration is Dan Abnett's "Straight Silver". Abnett is a superlative writer and the entire Gaunt's series is first rate. Straight...
@rowbot gorrillaman These guys look great. Thanks for sharing them. Must have been a lot of work but it paid off. @Yronimos Whateley I think you just partially described ...
It be cool if you could kit bash what's known as a "Khyber Pass" AK. Which is basically an AK47/AKM (chambered in 7.62x39) with an AK74 triangle folder added on. (No AKMs were ever f...
I'm all for Pride support. The majority of folks I game with are queer, due to my social circles, and it's pretty important to show support where we can.
@Yronimos Whateley Given all the bug related polls they had this week on the FB group its Bugs. we don't even need to think about this hard.
The greatest source book of all time:
@Yronimos Whateley as a Battletech fan I would love to see some gyrojet inspired weapons. I almost always go Gyroslug when I'm arming my RPG or Battletroops characters
@Mark Dewis To be honest the thing I am really looking forward to in the historical lines is Warring States Chinese. Probably one of the most important times and places in world history and it is ...
I actually made a "modern Afgahn" using a Dragon's 1/35 scale AK family gun and some old open hand bolt action arms on a WA, doesn't look too bad. so there are other sources for modern guns, though...
