This is a post by way of thanks to John@justneedsvarnish who has sent these Invasion X rules to me. They arrived today and I have had a brief chance to have a quick look through them while SWMBO was driving back from our colour appointment for our new home.

Why via John. Well unfortunately Killer B Games can send me piles of lead figures from the UK but unfortunately do not send their rules. This may be a copyright issue, not sure, but it has been darn inconvenient. Enter John who very kindly offered to not only send me the rules but provided them as a gift as well.

Thanks very much John much appreciated!

The Killer B figures are great if a bit quirky, but as you know quirky is my middle name! The good thing is they are straight from the 1950’s alien genre, the bad thing is they are from the 1970’s in design and standard, but that quirkiness makes up for that.

Some of their Invasion X miniatures. They also have “Geezers Shut it” based on your typical 1960/70’s British TV cop shows which also looks a hoot.

The rules also look hilarious and cover such characters as the “screamer”, the lost bomber crew from 1945, the steamer crew from 1918, and all sorts of other abductees. Down Under also rates a mention with the Antipodean schoolgirl missing from Hanging Rock!

I almost wet myself with whilst reading the Flying Saucer Tactic Cards. Cards such as “Bring the Anal Probe”, “Begin the Breeding”, “We have come for your females”, all had quite a distinct trend to them!

The are written in the form of the Roswell Daily Herald and should make great bedtime reading.

Thanks again John.

I will write a rules review when I have had more time to digest them.

BUUUUUURP!
