Hi Everyone!

New here but been gaming a long time. I recently stumbled across Americana scenery made by sarissa precision in 28mm

I wondered if you guys would have some ideas of which games/gaming system would suit it?

Thanks in advance!

Depends on the specific building.

Would fit Warlords Bolt Action or Mantic Walking Dead but also Pike$Shotte or a Napoleonic setting (war of 1812)
and of course American Civil War or War if Independence if you are going with the ships as well as any Wild West game

Fallout?

DC Universe miniatures game (Maybe it's Smallville)

Malifaux maybe. some aspects of that game is Americana.

Any game in 1970's to modern America would be suitable. I was planning a big convention gamed based around 1980's suburban America...basically a compilation of the "kids vs. monsters" kind of stuff from my childhood. Then Stranger Things came out and killed that idea dead. I was going to combine Goonies, Silver Bullet, some Stephen King films etc. Now I know if I ever pursued it, it'd just be an endless "Oh is this like Stranger Things?" (which, by the way is fething amazing).

Saves me the trouble from sourcing teenager miniatures etc.

Of course, any game rules which would allow you to recreate Red Dawn would be pretty cool. Highschoolers vs. Cuban paratroopers. What's not to love?

Ive always wanted to do a skirmish game set in a Red Dawn-type setting. Especially because back 8n the day there was also a great game for the PS2 called Freedom Fighters that was all about commanding a small squad against the Reds in New York City.

Walking Dead and Fallout spring to mind.

This one?

It is even called a Fallout Shelter Entrance


This next thing I thought of was Mars Attacks, but I don't know if there is scenery for that already.
Other games could be using 7TV rules, or similar, maybe.

Fallout for sure.
