That is pretty cool Crank, no pun intended  :D

Are the figures 15mm?

Who makes them?

So is this your rules concept?  If so, are you willing to share more about how they work?  Or do you have downloads for other to print out?

This looks like it would be a very fun event to run at a club meet or show or convention.

Looking forward to seeing more on this  :D

the figs are 15mm. Rules are mine based on a mix of several concepts but fun to play. I played 5 gamers and was a blast so ye a good game for clubs and also for solo play.

The component list in 15mm:

- Dogsleds, Inuits, Bears and Wolves from MY miniatures from ICE AGE range.

- Penguins from MJ figures.

- Stowage material on top of the dogsleds are from Khurassan packs of Sci-fi.

The Walrus is scratchbuilt.
