Post subject: Anima Tactics Thread
I'd like to introduce this game to everyone.  It is a great miniatures game for several reasons.

1.  Price.  You can start playing for as little as $10.  Seriously.  The cheapest non-collectible minis game out there.

2.  Sculpts.  The sculpts on these minis are amazing.  The game is based around individual, unique characters, and the sculpts take that concept to heart.  These minis are among the best sculpts I have seen.

3.  Simplicity.  The game itself is very intuitive.  Rules make sense, and the mechanics are very clear.

4.  Versatility.  This minis game can be played on a table top with terrain, or you can play on just about any pre-printed map that you have.  Map based minis make game play even easier, with less ambiguity that arises with the use of tape measures or rulers.

5.  RPG tie in.  The game setting is a wonderful background to play a tactical skirmish game in, and there is an RPG for it as well.  The RPG is slated for release at the end of this month.

6.  Anime.  If you are a fan of anime, the artwork and the background of this game is for you.  This is one of the only anime based minis games I have heard of, and the game mechanics and characters (and their abilities) truly capture the feel of the genre.

I will be running demos at CHG soon.  If you would like to learn more about the games and visit the Anima RPG and Tactics forums check out this link:

If anyone is interested in learning how to play the minis game, I would be more than happy to set up a demo.

I've been waiting for that RPG to come out for a while, it looks really good. And you're definitely right, the models do look great.

Post subject: Sunday, Novemeber 2nd
I'd like to play some Anima Tactics on the Sunday after Halloween at the store.  I'll bring my stuff.  I'll be there around noon to close.  Please respond if you are interested in playing.  Otherwise I'll just be painting.

I'm looking to play some Anima Tactics.  I also have quite a few of the minis for the set, roughly 85% of them if anyone would like to learn how to play.
