Tonight Nick and I will be test driving the Battlefield Evolution game from Mongoose Publishing, using their prepainted miniatures in the Middle Eastern town Nick has built (above) on his kitchen table!I shall be playing the native Middle Eastern Alliance, rattling round the streets in improvised 'technicals', while Nick will be representing the European Federation Task Force with his British units.
Makes me wish I'd picked up a keffiyeh during my press trip to the United Arab Emirates in the '90s, to add to the 'authenticity' of the near-future game.
Battlefield Evolution has taken a bit of a kicking in The Miniatures Page forums, and on the Meeples and Miniatures podcast, for a variety of reasons - particularly the standard of the figure painting, the quality of the vehicles and an ongoing dispute over the scale - but I've liked what I've seen so far (especially as Nick's buying it all, not me) and no one has said anything about the game's actual rules.
Tonight - all being well - we shall find out if the system works!
