I thought that the Half Tilt name was just a cheeky nod to the original game anyway. And GW pushing (a half-arsed remake of) theirs out is just a way of saying “hey, everybody, don’t forget where the idea for this originally came from!”

The original Full Tilt game was published in White Dwarf in the 90s(?). Back when we were encouraged to supplement GW minis with other stuff, not buy everything exclusively from them.

FWIW this is the perfect type of miniatures game for me.
Low model count (for the bare basics – there’s every chance I’ll still be painting crowd members and ancillary miniatures for it, years from now) fast-paced, simple rules, doesn’t require dedicated hardware (the original rules talk about using playing cards). A lovely mix of strategy and skill (like rock-paper-scissor). But it also has an element of fun and even RPG and character/list-building, so you can really get immersed in the fluff if you like, without taking itself too seriously.

For me, that’s the perfect miniatures game!

There are loads of places I can pick up STLs for medieval knights on horses. GW might hold out to the very end, but eventually they’ll have to recognise that 3d printing is a thing!
