Pulp Action Library: Science Vs Pluck 3rd ed. Rules Released

Pulp Action Library: Science Vs Pluck is a game of the Sudan Wars set at a “Generalship” level in which Players portray Officers in the service of Queen or Khedive, and seek to solve a variety of problems posed by the Enemy, the harsh terrain and cli-mate and, indeed, their own orders. All the participants serve together in, one would hope, some degree of cooperation, while one or more Umpires, control the wild Sudanese foe-men, other Imperial Officers and their, troops, and the universe in general. Grab your copy here at the Wargame Vault.

A distinct degree of role-playing is required; Players are expected to devote themselves to behaving in a properly Victorian manner, while the Umpire will ensure that his own dramatic performances of fellow Britons, Arab merchants, Syrian interpreters and suitably obsequious “other ranks” are appropriately Kiplingesque. Tea and buttered scones should be available at all times, stronger spirits only after noon. This is the 3rd. ed., previously published by The (Virtual) Armchair General.

When the Navy Walked: Upcoming range of miniatures!

Just found this news from The Armchair General: This Christmas/New Years break I have had long discussions with our sculptors and the time has come to create a full range of miniatures for the When the Navy Walked game. As some of you already know, we released a limited number of 15mm through JTFM Enterprises a few years back. We have played the game using 6mm and it works pretty much the way that it was designed to work with machines and capital units really standing out on their own. As such we have decided that we want to offer battle packs that consist of the entire section I or section II of an army directly out of the WTNW Revised Core 2nd Edition rule book.

It is our plan to start with the British Northern Colonial Army first. The goal is to have my guy sculpt up the figures and vehicles as we go from one army list to another. This should give players enough miniatures to play with just picking up one of the battle boxes. Each box will be priced competitively and will include everything in the section!

As an example here is what is in the British Northern Colonial Army Section One in the WTNW Revised Core:

- Major General Winston II (CinC) - Leader stand with leader and retinue

- Ganges Battalion (British Rifle Ground Unit) - 12 infantry with three poses

- Highlander Division (Elite Rifle Unit) - 12 infantry with three poses

- Field Howitzer 24lb Battery - 2 Guns, Crew, Limbers

- Littleton Class Landship Cruiser, Mark II (Capital Unit) - One large capital unit
