Modiphius Entertainment produce a number of excellent gaming products based upon the licences they hold. Yet they also produce items that are more generic and would grace many a tabletop, especially for those looking for that Post Apocalyptic aesthetic epitomised by the Fallout series.    One of the largest terrain sets in the Fallout: Wasteland Warfare range is perhaps the most iconic – the Red Rocket Scenic Set. This is a medium sized box full to the gunnels with plenty of terrain. Once we lift the lid, the eye is drawn to the neoprene gaming mat, folded carefully. This is a 3’ by 3’ are, with approach road and exit for the placing of the Red Rocket service station upon it. The image on the mat is full colour and shows a cracked, parched landscape strewn with rocks and debris. The next items are the three resin components, one the Red Rocket company symbol, a slightly retro-future looking space rocket and two petrol pumps. These are cast in a beige resin and are supplied unpainted. The quality of the casting is excellent. The clip together buildings are next, designed and produced by the team behind Battlesystems. There are five sheets of top quality card, printed with a number of designs which clip together to form the service station itself. The pieces are punchboard style, ready to be popped out and assembled. There is also a sheet of grey clips that secure everything together. However, there are no assembly instructions included in the box. Moving on, we have three small boxes to open, two containing ‘creature encounters’ and the third with more resin scenery. The Deathclaw set consists of a single 32mm sized resin miniature, which is multi-part but simple to construct. The figure also comes with a suitably scenic base which needs a simple paintjob to look good. This is a large miniature, which contrasts nicely with the Wasteland Vermin set. This time, we have nine small, multi-part resin miniatures, consisting of six Radroaches and three molerats. Each figure or group of figures has a textured scenic base, again needing a simple paintjob. The Deathclaw may look large and dangerous, but these Vermin are no less deadly, especially if they attack en masse. One way to avoid these attacks would be the use of barricades, in this case six Military Barricades. Again, cast in top quality resin, these are solid looking pieces, good to hide behind in a firefight or break up the assault of an attacker. The last pack of terrain is perhaps intended to be used as part of a settlement’s defences or as a roadblock. Whereas the military barricades are uniformly constructed, these large resin cast pieces

Having recently unboxed the Judge Dredd: I Am The Law! boxed game from Warlord Games, we thought we would take a closer look at the core rulebook for the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game. The rulebook is 160-pages and offered as a softcover. Although there is also a hardback version, the latter is a limited edition version and offered at a premium price. After a brief introduction which provides a basic guide to what is needed to play the game, we are straight into the core rules, with how to use the special tokens and dice, the basic game turn and use of actions, and the combat system, which works at ranged and close combat level using the specialist symbol dice. Along the way, we come across some great background ‘sidebars’ and some of the best artwork from the ongoing Judge Dredd adventures from 2000AD and Megazine. Having established the core rules, the next sections deal with specific aspects. Mounted models, vehicles, terrain and their use and effects within the game are fully explained, although, like the core rules, there are few examples of play and those that are present are textual rather than visual. Of course, part of Mega-City life is conflict, and conflict requires weapons. The Armoury section outlines the name and stats for a full panoply of weapons, most of which have featured in the comic book stories over the years. From pistols to Spit Guns, Stump Guns to rocket launchers, baseball bats to culinary lasers, they are all here, fully explained and ‘stat’ed out’ for gameplay. Those weapons with special rules are explained, with two textual and visual examples being used, the first such combined examples in the rules so far. The rules also explain the use of yet more required items to play the game ‘properly’, namely the Armoury and Big Meg cards which offer bonuses and game changing events when used by the players. The next section deals with the Justice Department, the Judges who seek to bring The Law to the Mega-City. Full stats for generic Judges and their specialist weapons are given, then we move onto the same for some of the classic characters from the pages of the comic books, including Judge Dredd himself, Judge Anderson, SJS Judge Gerhart and even the robot Judges. Of course, after all that Law, we need some characterful lawbreakers, so we have stats and a description for Judge Death, ex-Judge Grice, vigilante Karl Raider and scarily efficient Orlok the Assassin. These are the counterpoint to the Justice Department, the most dangerous opponents they have ever faced. Next comes information and stats for the more ‘normal’ criminals that Judges are likely to encounter, such as Block Gangs,

Deep Cut Studio are experts with their gaming mats, rising from a small selection to an ever-increasing range for many popular game systems. They also have a number of generic mats which will work with any rules or size of figures. However, they also offer a number of scenery pieces which may be used to add extra details to any game mats. Some of the latest products are 2D scenic pieces on a roll. Like most of the products from Deep Cut, these are manufactured from mousepad material, a synthetic cloth with a 2mm thick rubber foam backing. Each roll is 9 cm in width, with 183 cm (6 feet) in length. The paints used are soaked into the material so that they will never scratch or fade. Like their game mats, each roll has a non-slip backing to help keep the scenery on the table. The weight of the material and its backing means that the scenery is instantly flat when placed on a table, providing a smooth surface without the folds or wrinkles of other types. Easy to cut with hobby blades or scissors to create any layout and junctions, each roll includes two half-circles of the stripe for turns and angles. The fact that the scenery may be rolled up and placed back into its box means that it takes up very little space and is easy to carry between gaming sessions. At the present time, there are five rolls of scenery available, allowing gamers to produce scenery including a river, cobblestone road, a dirt road, tarmac road and a paved road. The Deep Cut Studio website contains a host of useful items, not just their excellent mats but other items to. These scenic ‘rolls’ are perfect for a quick set-up and take down, meaning you get more time for gaming. For more information, visit www.deepcutstudio.com

Battlefront continue to offer a range of new and re-packaged items to support their Flames of War rules system.  Some of the most recent offerings are for the Axis forces, most particularly the (in)famous German paratroopers, the Fallschrimjäger. Rather than being based upon the Early War sky warriors of the Blitzkrieg-era, we have unit and command cards for the Mid-War German and Italian Airborne Forces and new figure releases for the Late War warriors who were used as Elite infantry in a number of theatres. The Death From Above card set contains 21 Unit cards and 24 Command cards for use with Mid-War German and Italian Airborne forces for the period 1942 to 1943. The set also includes a 31-page softback book which offers full game details for the forces mentioned. The book begins with details of the creation and main operations that the German and Italian paratroop forces took part in, including service in Egypt, Sicily and Italy and the Eastern Front. The German Fallschrimjäger section deals with the basic organisation and game stats for the glider-borne and paratroop trained soldiers, complete with game stats for a basic squad, a company and all the support elements that may be fielded. The Italian parachutists are covered in a similar fashion, with plenty of game and historical information for this tough group of fighters. The Unit cards cover the same ground as the book, whereas the Command cards focus upon the unique abilities, famous commanders and characters and more for both German and Italian forces. The boxed sets for the Late War are also related to the Fallschrimjäger. Firstly, we have the Fallschrimjäger Company. This contains enough resin-plastic miniatures to create 26 infantry teams, with 18 four-man MG42 and K98 Rifle Teams, 2 two-man Formation Command MP40 SMG Teams, 2 three-man Unit Leader MG42 and K98 Rifle Teams and 2 two-man Panzerschreck Anti-Tank Teams. The box also contains enough bases for the miniatures, and the relevant Unit Cards. The Fallschrimjäger StuG Assault Gun Platoon contains 5 plastic kits, with optional parts to create either a StuG with a 7.5cm gun or a StuH 10.5cm main weapon. There are also Unit cards, a Tank Commander sprue and a decal sheet. The last box is more generic, being suitable for most Late War German forces, but is perfect for use with the Fallschrimjäger infantry company. This one contains 5 plastic Sd Kfz Halftracks, with optional parts to create either a machine gun or 3.7cm gun armed vehicle.  The kit also comes with crew sprues, plus unit cards and a decal sheet. Like almost every Flames of War product, these are well-designed and easy to use, with just the right amount of ‘extras’ that

1st Corps continue to add to their growing range of 1/48th vehicles for World War Two. Two of the latest are a British armoured fighting vehicle and a German artillery tow and transport. The British armoured vehicle is an A11 Matilda. This is labelled as a ‘Later Production’ version of this infantry support tank but was actually phased out after service in the early period of the war, up until 1940. Although the tank had thick armour, it only had a single turret mounted heavy machine gun and was very slow, in order to ‘keep pace with the advancing infantry’. The model itself is a mix of resin and metal parts and is simple to assemble. The final effect is pretty much a perfect replica of the real thing, with great detail such as grills and rivets on display. The second vehicle is a KFZ69, the Krupp Protz Artillery Tow. Designed to pull medium to heavy artillery pieces, this six-wheeled vehicle had seating space for a 6 – 8 people and had storage space for ammunition and other equipment. Once again, this model has resin and metal parts, with some quality detail. This model is even simpler to assemble and has a solid looking appearance. These are just two examples of an ever-increasing range, which complement those figures with a more solid, chunky appearance. The use of 1/48th scale may not appeal to every WW2 gamer, but with quality like this, they are well worth a second look. For more information, visit www.1stcorps.co.uk
