Golgotha's Rules ideas for hunting games

 Also, been wanting to do some sort of hunting game/s – Only suggestions I have thought of so far include:

·       The Death in the Dark Continent has a man versus beast small skirmish game rules for big game hunting.

·       Mammalian Mayhem (Hunting in the Age of Mammals) Rules also by Chris Peers.

·       Tooth and Claw http://theminiaturespage.com/news/17238/

·       Tusk by Irregular Miniatures

·       Big Game Hunter https://www.perilplanet.com/free-games/

·       Dino Hunt http://wwwmawsblackpanthers.spruz.com/downloads.htm?a=&act=view&id=49665FCB-F9A1-4DDA-AA36-24660297ADC4

Golgotha's Games - Very Quick Violence

 Herewith, Very Quick Violence - a very simple game of miniature combat - rules available here: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=135984.0

See also Monmouth Miniatures: https://mammoth-miniatures.onlineweb.shop/

Three Hobbit/Halflings and a human on one side...



Versus two Evil Knights and a Blood Imp on the other...






Hobbits decide to wonder through the house - what an adventure!



Evil Knights attack our brave hero...


Blood Imp hides behind the corner of the house...


Our hero is slain - what a fool.


Blood Imp attacks from the rear but to no avail, the hobbit turns and is joined by his two companions...


The Hobbits are now in trouble and bravely fight to the last...



Our Evil Knights celebrate their victory by plundering the house. 




Some more pictures of the miniatures and terrain used. 



















The game certainly creates an interesting dynamic between the big-ins and little-ins and given the focus on sizes a tank version of the game could work well with then light, medium and heavy vehicles/tanks...

Golgotha's Terrain - Trees - Ideal for smaller scales like 10mm

 Herewith, terrain - trees - Ideal for smaller scales like 10mm. 

Some of these are made from pipe cleaners. A few are bought but the majority are scratch built, for which I got the idea for these from Little Wars TV see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnpKt-5kwwY&ab_channel=LittleWarsTV

Others were made from cones, see below: 








These are the cone ones. 







































The type of cone used. Merely glued on some fine flock.
