Yesterday was a workshop day, doing metal casting for orders (and stock, we’re already slowly gearing up to Salute – at the moment this just involves doing a few extra castings every time we spin a mould and keeping them to one side for the show). I did have a bit of a brain-fade and managed to leave all of the finished orders behind – so apologies if you placed an order over the weekend or Monday, it’s all done and packaged up, but rather annoyingly sitting in a box at the workshop which I won’t return to until tomorrow \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

\"GRZ-004\"<\/a>Today has been spent casting resin items, again a mixture of orders and stock which we’ll put aside for Salute (including this week’s new releases for Friday). However, I did get a nice little surprise in the post this morning – a number of sets of Gruntz<\/a> activation cards which we’d ordered from Robin a little while ago. So in between bouts of pouring resin, I’ve quickly added them to the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Robin, “The cards make a game of Gruntz more dynamic, allowing for alternating activation of units using a random determination. It works well for getting more than 2 players into a game of Gruntz because the random nature of unit activation can involve all players, rather than waiting for the traditional I-GO-U-GO turn sequence.<\/p>\n

The main Gruntz 15mm SCI-FI rulebook includes rules for using normal playing cards, however the same rules can be used with these cards which also add some interesting chaotic battlefield bonus effects.<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

The cards are in a small format to reduce clutter on the table and are a very useful addition to the Gruntz game.<\/p>\n
