Skirmisher Releases 'Quactica' Miniatures Rules


Quactica: Battles for the Soul of Middle Aesopia was one of the new products Skirmisher released at Gen Con 2008 in Indianapolis. This innovative set of miniatures rules was created by veteran game designer and miniatures sculptor Steve Lortz, author of the famous Perilous Encounters rules released by Chaosium in 1978. Set in a world inhabited by various races of anthropomorphic animals — including Ducks, Dwargs, and Porks — the Quactica rules tie in with a beautiful line of miniatures created by Lortz and produced by Lance & Laser.

Quactica is a 90-page softcover book that retails for $9.95 and is available both at game stores and directly from the Skirmisher Online Store. It is also available as a PDF download from DriveThruRPG and other online venues for $4.99.

In addition to the metal miniatures available for Quactica, there are also several free downloadable cardstock miniatures currently available for people who want to start playing this game right away. They include a Duck archer, a Gobbling archer, a Hawgzilla, and a Dwarg fighter. More will be available soon, so keep your eye on the Skirmisher Forum!

Quactica is part of a thematic series of miniatures rules published by Skirmisher that includes the H.G. Wells books Little Wars and Floor Games, and foreshadows the release of a Quactica role-playing game currently in development.
