I wrote a few rules systems a while back, which went through various incarnations, and we played a few games using cup-cakes in unit colours...
Greenshirts... Two squads of Alley-Vipers flanking a squad of Blues. We did some Cobra LARP as well using a scaled up version. Worked nicely.

I did come up with the idea while playing Heroclix,but making custom heroclix figs is really beyond my talent/time/money.
I was thinking more along the lines of drawing a grid on posterboard,showing trees,hills,streams,etc. and then using regular 3 3/4 Joes as pieces. On your turn you move x spaces,roll a die plus x to attack,and if it's higer than x you do x damage. I just thought maybe someone here had had a similar idea and had ideas for stats. I would have used the old d20 Star Wars characters,like say Darth Maul's stats for Snake Eyes,but I can't find my copy of the core rules (I haven't played the RPG in over a decade). |

YOJOE.COM | Commando Attack Board Game
I've always wanted this board game since I was a little kid. I'm guessing you mean something like this or what Marine-73 mentioned.

I would have used the old d20 Star Wars characters,like say Darth Maul's stats for Snake Eyes,but I can't find my copy of the core rules (I haven't played the RPG in over a decade). It's basically Warhammer, with less figures (instead a minimum of 100 figures, you use a small squad from 1 to 10), and a much simplier game style. The game rules are more or less what you want, and its played using just 6 sided dices (d6). Since the figures are 1 inch height (2,5 centimeters), i guess you can adapt the rules for movement easily. It has rules for close combat, melee combat and ranged, with corresponding tables. Pretty simple to change a "Elven Longbow" for a "Sniper Rifle" Cool thing is that you can change equipment, weapons (on each hand or shields) and items, something you can do perfectly with regular joes. And you can play with just one guy, or a small squad up to 10-15.

I'll look into renegade's mordheim suggestion, but I think in the meantime I'm going with Heroclix. I found a guy's site with custom stats for Joes and Cobra plus a lot of other popculture characters.
I'm thinking we can just keep track of the "clicks" with pencil and paper. Easiest solution since the people who want to play already know and like HC. |
