Pimping ‘Half Moon Jacket’
I backed the Kickstarter for ‘Full Moon Jacket’ last year.
If you aren’t aware, Full Moon Jacket is a boardgame that has US forces fighting Werewolves in Vietnam – if it were a film, imagine Platoon meets Dog Soldiers.
Whilst I am a huge fan of both genres, I was unsure at the time whether the other members of my gaming group would be interested – plus my available funds for pledging was limited.
As a result, I went for the ‘Half Moon Jacket’ option, which is a print-and-play version of the game.
I’ve been putting this together over last weekend, and whilst it’s OK playing the game with counters, I do have some 15mm Vietnam era US troops which I could use for the player pieces. If I was going to use these, it’s only natural to consider miniatures for the enemy too, so I found myself wondering if anyone did 15mm Werewolves in the UK
This is just the sort of thing I’m looking for, so I think I’ll be ordering a couple of packs of these to add to the game.
Not quite sure if this ends up being overkill and I should instead bite the bullet and just order the full game anyway (it’s still available to pre-order) – but as it stands I end up with a full game, with miniatures, for around half the price of the full boxed game.
Werewolves in Vietnam? Surely that should be weretigers? 😉
Interesting concept. Not sure it’s everyone’s cup of tea, but still, looks intriguing.
Which is why I only went for the budget version 😀
