When the family goes to sleep and all the lights go out, many people believe that this is the time when bad things come out of the closet or out from under the bed. Maybe this is true, but what we know is that the Teddys get out and recreate battles. They don’t kill each other, they dress up and re-enact war! Teddys don’t fight wars. Teddys re-enact. In the vein of Fire and Furry, or Across a Teddy field, to the march of the Tedal Yell and the waving of the Paws and Bars flag, we see the rise of the American Civil Paw range at the battle of Teddysburg! The Paws and Stripes waves from one side of the field, led by General George G Teddeade, square off against the might of General Ted E Lee. Today we see the release of a new range of figures by Mike Broadbent, and sold through Slave 2 Gaming. Now I’ve got that out of my system, this new range of 18mm American civil war figures are slightly different from the normal ACW figures, mainly because they are Teddys. The range is quite big and features both Teddys with Kepi Hats and normal hats. It has 5 different Infantry poses for both Kepi’s and normal hats, plus 4 poses for each hat type in Cavalry. Also a Leader, musician and Flag bearer for both Infantry and Cavalry. There is Artillery pieces and crew (for both Kepi and normal hats), and a General on Rocking horse with his retinue. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control the 28mm Teddys that Mike used to make are no longer available, but these take their place quite nicely. The range has not been made for any specific game system, although we at Slave 2 Gaming do have a simple set of regimental rules that we are bringing out as a set of Beta test rules, hoping for the public to work with us to create a workable system, it can be found at Wargames Vault, HereThese can be bought at our online store Here at Slave 2 Gaming

As Teddy would say "Bully!". Great way to get young folks into miniature gaming. Only Eureka has done anything with this kind of thing & the use of 18mm being less cost per figure is brilliant!

I will have a review of the BETA rules up on my blog on the 7th! I will provide a link then.
The mini-range by Mike Broadbent looks great!

Quick look at the rules at War Vault - great so far - interesting how you'll handle 'town' combat. Good stuff!! Added to my Wish list for 2017

Quick look at the rules at War Vault - great so far - interesting how you'll handle 'town' combat. Good stuff!! Added to my Wish list for 2017 The rules don't look at town combat yet, the downloadable rules are just the basic move, shoot type stuff. I plan on getting an either Facebook discussion page set up, or potentially setting up a discussion board on here for those that want to be involved with expanding the rules. I might end up heading down the path of a "basic" and "advanced" section of the game. The plan is not to make it too full of rules, I'd thought of no more than 25 pages

I meant to say that it will be interesting to see how you keep town fighting simple. I really like your approach btw and look forward to seeing more
