Get A Peek At Petersen Games’ Dinosaur 1944 Kickstarter
June 10, 2020 by brennon
Petersen Games are going to be on Kickstarter soon with their wild pulp adventure, Dinosaur 1944. There was a preview recently of what they're offering on Kickstarter and it certainly has the dinosaur fan in me smiling.

This gives you a good look at what you can expect from the game when it launches. A bunch of soldiers around the 28mm mark and then some bloomin' awesome looking dinosaurs which stretch up to over 120mm in height! This is Petersen Games after all, they do like doing miniatures for their board games.
As a game concept, it also sounds pretty ace. You work together as a group to try and stop the dinosaurs from rampaging across the island and seeking an escape onto the mainland. It's like Jurassic Park and The Lost World have been drawn into the Weird World War.

I am rather looking forward to seeing where they go with this one and also exploring a bit of gameplay when the campaign launches too. I am a sucker for anything with big dinosaurs in it so if this gives me a chance to pick up and paint a bunch of these awesome creatures then I may be tempted.
Are you interested in this from just seeing the dinosaurs and basic concept alone?

Proves that Jurassic park was such a big influence on alot of people.
It was also influenced what Super Sentai Haim Saban brought to US as 1st season of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Yes, he picked Dinosaur themed one over bird themed one because of popularity of Jurassic Park.
Nice dinosaurs.
Giant Archaeopteryx looks fantastic.(moth something)
This looks a whole lot of fun so planing to back the Kickstarter, Dinos galore and a great set up ??
Peterson games have a bad habit of delivering their games incredibly late and being very expensive. Not for me.
I can’t wait to yell “DINO DAMAGE!” when wounds are dealt…
Okay, THIS is cool!
Those are some really nice looking dinosaurs and soldiers.
At first I was going to throw shade at them for including the supposedly debunked “Brontosaurus”… but a quick google check seems to indicate they’re back on the table! I’ve been schooled by Kickstarter again!
I raised an eyebrow at that too. Like you I did not know they existed again *gets on the Google*
Stupidly excited for this. I really liked Cthulhu Wars though it is more like a miniature game vs board game for cost. For reference 120mm is the height of the Cthulhu from Cthulhu wars so these are some big minis.
The dinosaurs look absolutely amazing and the theme of the game sounds like good fun too. The ‘board’ of squares looks very underwhelming though, and the thought of a MOBA-like battle doesn’t sound very interesting to me. Will definitely wait to see a video of the gameplay.
