Shadowrun: Duels


Wow! It's been forever since I've posted anything. Literally, it has been a full year! oh man....I'm bad. And to my one reader (you know who you are, Alger), I apologize.

So, my new current "miniatures" game is the Shadowrun: Duels. Now, this game isn't technically a mini game, simply because the figures are 6 inch action toys that are fully posable and each comes on it's own base. The base opens up, and the bottom half become a cup to hold dice and a ruler, that is special to each one.

The biggest problem with this game, is creating terrain for it. When building a wall piece, it has to be about 9 to 10 inches tall. Crazy! But, I'm just the guy to go about trying to put together some terrain for the game.

Here's some photos that I've put together of a game that a friend and I played on my dining room table. Notice that the walls are pizza boxes and are not completed. I have since changed that. :) I give you Team Rolf vs Team Zhen :


(midgame: Team Zhen is getting creamed cause
of that durn sniper up on the balcony)



(midgame - Team Rolf downloading the data, while Team Zhen
is actually pinned down by sniper fire)



(End of game - a Team Rolf member taken care of and laying on the ground.
Team Zhen now has to chase down the Team Rolf thief, who gets away.)


Overall, the Shadowrun:Duels game is a great deal of fun. The terrain and the scenario stuff really help this game shine! I'd like to get a game of 4 players going (two teams each with two players), but I don't know where I'm going to get the table space. This game really is very big.
