Hi,
just back from the world's biggest game's fair in Essen, Germany (154.000 visitors!). Now trying to recapulate the most important facts.

One of them is the game Earth Reborn, shortly mentioned in the GenCon thread, but worth its own thread (with new information). Miniatures are 28mm scale, boards have a 30mm grid, so similar sized to Space Hulk (1"=25,4mm grid). You get about 180 different tiles of different shapes, printed both sides! One side is mostly outdoors.

Game developer is a fan of Space Hulk but wanted to make something better and more flexible, with more roleplaying elements. So you have 2 fractions, 2 gamers, several scenarios (first ones to learn more and more rules) and and an active community wanting to develop more (posted for free on the website).

Looks like a nice game, but the tiles can certainly be used for Space Hulk or boarding action kill team games as well. Will be released end of November/early December. Miniatures will not be painted, no idea of the price though.
