I saw @jameswallis.bsky.social 's post about this - it looks _amazing_.

Here's the full background on the game's development, and a link to the rules. https://brigademodels.co.uk/mws/blog/2025/02/01/battlezone-mws-2025-show-game/

Nice - thanks!

They had a QR code on the day to a download of the rules too. Pretty smart.

WOAH. Reminds me of the fake wireframe cityscape in Escape from New York.

Still amazing https://beforesandafters.com/2021/07/12/escape-from-new-york-at-40-how-those-cg-glider-graphics-were-actually-achieved-with-physical-models/

So clever.

Kieron found this first and knew I'd want to see it, so took me and Mira on a mission to find it again.

This is so cool to see in real life. Really simple but unexpectedly super clear shapes.

Yeah, it was so fun. And reading the blog about it, they put a ton of work into getting it ready! I really liked the way they put in the walls around the board to represent the backdrop from the original.

That is really, really, really delightful. I imagine it playing using simultaneous movement with movement and firing orders set in secret. It's one of my fave game mechanics and it's one that I don't see much

I haven't had a look at the rules yet but they had a qr code to download them at the table.
