Really nice matey!! love the idea that there is an end point to a campaign as you pointed out in the video.

Do you plan to put a starter set together? as this could make an ideal gift for my nephews birthday, or perhaps xmas as it is just around the corner 🙂

Thanks

Who has had some hand in writing and developing the said GW’s games. But I’m liking what I’m hearing. The campaign rules seem a little more refined from the GW’s game lines. I like how each campaing has a clear begining and ending.

@netdiver I agree that there is a good amout of GW feel in Cutlass, but both Adam and Gav is ex-GW’s at least on a freelance basis.
