So I had some post apocalyptic solo fun on the bedroom floor this morning using the 8 of the Miniatures that arrived yesterday and that I have already painted up!
Gang 1 consisted of (from left to right) Jacko, Leatherface, Doc and Jason.
Gang 2 consisted of Shotty, Dagz, Fingers and Chainz.
Initially I tried out ‘Minigangs‘ from Ramshackle Games, they are a lot of fun but lacked a few things I like such as random movement distances, and lead to some strange and ‘unrealistic’ turns of events. You see figures don’t die but are injured, and while injured they can crawl and hopefully get helped out by a healer on their side. This meant that guys went crawling around in full view of the enemy just trying to get healed, and the enemy couldn’t really do anything about it other than find and kill the healer. I felt like there needed to be some way of finishing these guys off, but there wasn’t anything in the rules. Nonetheless they are fun, very quick and easy to play.
Inspired by what minigangs had to offer I drew up my own set I’ve called Deathgangs, which at some point in the future I’ll post on this site, once they’re properly typed up from my scribbled notes.
Here’s how my inaugural outing for Deathgangs finished, with Leatherface carving up Shotty and taking the objective for his gang.
Good fun was had by all, other than maybe poor Shotty RIP.
