Doctor Who Character Building – War Games
Doctor Who Character Building – War Games “Doctor Who, Back and Forth”
We have been sent images and information from a member of a Wargames Club – they play Historical and Fantasy Battles using Miniature Figures and Rules, like a chess game.
The Club travels the country promoting their hobby at Wargame shows and have planned a game using character Building products. Club members have written the rules, which are very simple, and they have designed a game which will be displayed at various shows over the UK next year. Their test run so to speak will be at Warfare 19th and 20th of Nov this year and then next year at various other shows. you can find their website Here.
The game is what they call a participation game where members of the public come along and join in – so all are welcome. Its hoped it might encourage the young to make their own playtime games.
The game is being built up as CB sets are released and the images show the set up so far – all they are waiting for is the Tardis Console Set to be released which is the final part of the game.
The story is as follows…
Daleks in a Secret Underground Bunker are drilling into the core of War torn Skaro hoping to alter the Planets Magnetic Field and Pilot whats left of their Homeworld to safety, before the Doctor, who is on route with UNIT backup, deploys the Hand of Doom to turn Skaro Supernova again and thus ending the The Daleks forever – again!
Cybermen have learnt of the Dalek plan and want the technology for them selves…
The game stage is an underground bunker enitrly made of lego surrounded by a cave system made of CB Angels sets – lots of them so far 25 approx and a Dalek Factory and eventually a Tardis Console set.
The idea is that the public control 3 Cyberman Teams and one Dr Who Team with Clerics, all CB figs, and try to invade the Dalek Base – Cyberman have to take it over and the Clerics with the Dr have to blow it up – it will be a timed game with a wonderful Clock counting down the minitues before the Hand of Doom ( Revenege of the Daleks ) blows everyone up!
If the Doctor is killed then he regenerates backwards hence the eleven Doctors set.
To the pictures – and very impressive thay are to. The group is currently awaiting the Tardis Pay set to expand the game further…

August 7th, 2011 - 4:52pmI’m going to come across a dense but are the soldiers meant be Clerics or UNIT troops?
jordan
August 7th, 2011 - 5:56pmanything you like,depending on wich angle you look at it
Dark Knights and Bloody Dawns
August 7th, 2011 - 6:39pmI must admit that was my fault in the first describtion I sent I said UNIT but I mean’t Clerics to go with the new Series.
But Jordan is right both work as I’m sure Unit would would tool up if they were going into battle with Helmits and Body Armour. It’s just in the new series they wear Black – for this game they should I guess be Clerics
