Gunslinger Launches”Gunslinger SOG” on Kickstarter

16/11/2023

I’m pleased to announce that Gunslinger has launched its latest project onto Kickstarter earlier today and it is already funded! Gunslinger SOG “Across the Fence” takes the Gunslinger ethos and brings it back to the Vietnam War, rolling out a uniquely detailed and posed range ideal for both wargaming and display. “Across the Fence” focuses on the work of MACV-SOG, operating along the Ho Chi Minh trail. Deploying in small groups into the depths of the jungle, SOG teams played cat and mouse against the dedicated hunters of the Trường Sơn Hunter-Killer Teams. I’ve included some details below, as well…

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board of Shadowy Figures, we have reached the end of the first month of the project and it’s time for my report on the progress.

Then I get to write an article, show off the hobby and hopefully get some more stuff done! Good…
SITREP – Asymmetric Warfare/Spectre Operations Explained

03/11/2023

Good news! Asymmetric Warfare has been released as PDF, with version 1.1 on DriveThru RPG now. I received my copy from the Author while I was having a day off (actually getting the email while strolling around the Yorkshire Air Museum), and although I’ve only managed to have a skim through it, it does feel a touch like sitting back in a familiar comfy chair (except someone made the chair slightly less squeaky and added a bipod). The problem is that this has stirred up the nest once again about the confusion between Asymmetric Warfare and Spectre Operations – the…
