Treasure Hunt
A team of Treasure Hunters led by Harry "Hertfordshire" Jones is searching for an artefact of possible power, lost in distant Pesbekistan. They are pitted against a group of local tribesmen who have been recruited by a White Russian Agent-Provocateur, Count Sokolov, who are searching for the same thing for use in counter-revolutionary activities, or something...

A beautiful and effective team of Treasure Hunters!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil
DeleteA nice change of trope and genre. These rules are very adaptable. I had been thinking of large scale WW2 games with these, but now you have me thinking that treasure hunts and sci fi are definite possibles.
ReplyDeleteStill laughing at 'Hertfordshire' Jones... I can hear the 'Raiders' theme played on out of tune guitar as we speak.
They are adaptable indeed - one of your comments last year has me planning to undertake some brigade level games in the future!
DeleteOooo. I look forward to that.
DeleteAnother great game jack. Bags of character as ever. Will we be further adventures of Hertfordshire Jones in the offing?
ReplyDeleteThanks mate - possibly, unless I get distracted by something... ooh shiny new toy.. what was I saying?
DeleteAnother simple uncluttered good looking game. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. I prefer simple games that can be set up and run whenever I have a spare hour
DeleteA fun game there with a nice mix of figures. I noticed one Airfix cowboy figure.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter - yes a couple of old Airfix, some Esci and some metal figures (20mm) from Irregular and Elhiem
