Didn't realize how old this game was (1997). I didnt get into it until the early 2000s, when there were still lots of game components on Ebay. I didn't know and still dont know anything about the Trinity role playing game, but since I was collecting every miniature game under the sun back in the day, I grabbed this, and was really impressed with what it included. The terrain was pretty cool for its time (hills, carded buildings and storage tanks), and its really a skirmish game. And even being a skirmish game, there is a lot of creativity and equipment that can go into a single mini, so you can play the same character with all sorts of variations. The minis included in the box were made in a resin type material, but the sold in blisters were metal. I have just about everything ever produced for this game, but havent been able to play it much.

When I purged my gaming collection a few years ago, and decided on a dozen or so core games I didnt think I could live without, this was one of them.

But I dont hear about it much. I know it didnt get a lot of attention when it came out, and White Wolf dropped support for it after about 6 months, which is a shame, as it was a really well put together game.

One of the cool things was a flyer that not only advertised the game, but the flyer unfolded into a poster on one side, and a complete game on the other, where you could just cut out the counters, and play on a 2ft by 2ft playing area just to get an idea of how the game mechanics work. Very cool you dont see that often and definately not anymore as far as I know.

Anyway, if you should ever see the main box set on Ebay, I recommend picking it up. It is rarely listed for a lot, and there is quite a lot of game in the box.

If you do have it, or had it, what do you think of it?

None?

Come on!!

No one has ever played this game but me?!?!?!

I picked up a copy of the main game for dirt cheap at Gencon a few years back. The hills and card terrain see a lot of use in 40k and I also like using the minis as stand ins for various things. They're not amazing but they're good enough quality to fit in well for 40k or RPGs just fine.

Honestly i can't say i've ever even cracked the rules but you've definitely piqued my interest. Might have to go give them a read.

I was gonna say I've never even heard of it, but looking at the cover art, I do think I've seen it before.

I know absolutely nothing about it, though.

Let me know what you think!
