Mantic Games meets Games Workshop - A Sci Fi "Wargames Fusion"

In this game we bring together a perfect 'fusion' of Mantic Games' Firefight rules and Games Workshop 40K miniatures (scenery coming from both of these Nottingham-based companies).

Orcs/Marauders take on Space Marines/Enforcers/GCPS in this mix-and-match clash. We prefer 'Firefight' Rules to 40K, but have quite a few 40K figures, so why not merge them together?

This game was tense from the start and actually ended in a dead heat - both sides racking up 8 Victory Points by the end of the 5th turn, which confirmed our views that Mantic rules are more fun and better suited to a relaxed, informal week night game than Warhammer 40,000.
