Has anyone heard of this game by Flying Pig Games? Seems pretty cool. Anyone got it? Impressions?

Nope, never heard of it, although I obviously know what the subject is. I'm not a great fan of FPG to be honest.

They were showing it off at Origins a year or so ago.  Some folks thought it was the bees' knees.  I'm more in line with Bawb on this one.

lol

'65?
Old School Tactical?
Armageddon War?

Any reason why they don't have much love as a publisher

I appreciate the link Barth...and it'll be handy for others - but I'm never playing a PnP version of a game :rockon: :bigthumb: ;D

I've seen good things posted about Crowbar on a few FB wargame groups. But it has a high price tag.

Some of the games are perfectly fine. I've played night of man several times, and 65 uses basically the same system. We don't have much trouble finding people willing to express their love of the OST system

And there are plenty of people that like Armageddon War

I thought OST was well regarded? Unless you meant "We'll NOT have much trouble..."?

But that's why I was asking you (and Bawb) why there was a thing with FPG...just trying to find out what specifically is wrong with them...game specific or publisher wise?

I quite liked the look of Armageddon War. Not pulled the trigger yet though.

No point in digging too deep, Its a subjective thing for most people, unless you have had a personal experience which has resulted in not being too keen on the products or ethos of a particular publisher.
