Mad Max and the Thunder Boats From Hell (2)

The lack of blog posts for the last few weeks would give you the impression that I've not been up to much. On the contrary, I've dashed off another 40 Renaissance galleys and terrain, a load of 15mm WW2 stuff and a few other projects (of which more in a future post). I've also painted up my "Thunder Boats from Hell" models and started on the rules. These will be based on Dave Schueler's original "Thunder Boats" but will add such niceties as mortars, mines, rockets, machine guns and other fun. The plan is to debut the game at the Naval Wargames Weekend in July and then to take it to the IPMS modelling and wargames show at Thornbury in August. Should be fun :)

    It sounds like a fun idea and the boats look great. I'm interested in hearing how it turns out (and what rule modifications you make).

    If you are looking for more boats, maybe an armed air boat would work too (http://globaldiecastdirect.com/matchbox-loose/13494-matchbox-swamp-rats-military-air-boat.html)

    Thanks for the info David. Sadly it is a bit too far away for me to attend. Shame really.

    Cheers,

    Pete.
