On the lamb Games - A New Way to Play Brushfire

On the lamb Games sent us this announcement in addition to the Mongoose Publishing "State of Mongoose" announcement:

Mongoose Publishing has issued their 2011 ‘State of Mongoose’, and in it you will find the announcement that On The Lamb Games will be updating the Battlefield Evolution/Starship Troopers game system and adapting it to the Brushfire setting. 

What does this mean for Brushfire players?Current and future players of Brushfire will get a new way to play, and a second system to use their models in. The Brushfire skirmish game is not going away, and in fact we are working on additions to it. What will happen is Mongoose will be handling production of the miniatures and the printing of the as of yet untitled mass battle game. This will mean that its much easier for players of both games to acquire models. While several units will be re-sculpted to handle the transition to non-metal casting, no unit from Brushfire will be removed from play and their will be nothing saying you cannot use older models. 

What will be different in this new game?The biggest difference is the change in focus from skirmishes between warbands and small expeditionary forces to full on warfare between armies. Fans of major battles, such as ‘The Battle of the Ice’ or ‘The Massacre of Cordoba’ will be able to more easily recreate them on the tabletop. The initial book for this game will focus on the same area as the Historia Rodentia sourcebook for Legend: Aquitar, Civitas, Scyzantium, and Vandalands. These factions will be feature expanded rosters bringing in troops from Khonshu, The Knights Bubonic, etc. Axony, Chugoku, Ribenguo, and Zabar will not be part of the initial releases, but will receive quick lists to allow players to easily convert their Brushfire armies over. These factions are not being dropped, we just won’t have the space needed to properly fit them into the core book without doing an inadequate job. Players of these factions can look forward to Highland Folds, Honey Badger Barbarians, Sohei Frogs and so much more. 

What does the future hold?In 2012 you can look forward to more Brushfire releases from On The Lamb and Mongoose including the Legend sourcebook in May and hopefully several small supplements for it at the same time. We’ll be continuing to write on adding to and improving the skirmish game as well as the roleplaying and mass battle games. 2012 onward is looking great for Brushfire fans!
