Hi All,
Firstly, appologies to all those who get this several times and to
the mods for being slightly OT.
I don't know how many of you are familiar with Warm Acre's "Hour of
Glory" war/board game?
It's set in WW2, with Allied agents breaking into a German stronghold
to steal information on a Top secret Atomic super weapon.
Thematically its quite cinematic, mixing elements form "Comamndo"
comics, war films & several computer games (Noteably Commandoes and
Return to Castle Wolfenstein).
Gameplay is against the clock, with minutes being used in a similar
way to action points. Players each field a character, who has various
stats for both raid mode (sneaking about, picking locks, etc) and
Assault mode (doesn't really need an explanation does it?!?)
Whilst the game as written is lacking in "weirdness", there are some
house rules up on the yahoo group for zombies, vampires, werewolves,
powered armour - most of the staple Alt-WW2 things really! It would
be very easy to tweak the rules & setting to make use of project X
figures...
If this sounds appealing to you, please drop by the fledgling yahoo
group:

Cheers
Xander
