Castle Panic seems a saner design direction.
Iron sky’s seems to be too much things together to work.
Castle Panic for me, not sure the other one would turn out as cool as it probably seems in Warren’s head.
Dinosaurs and grav StuGs … freakin’ epic. But you’ll still lose because … ‘Merichuh! 😀
I’ve got one of those castles, your Fleshy Awesomeness. Kinda wish I’d bought two now…
I would suggest having a strong theme which is easily recognisable and understood by the casual passer-by who knows not of the Beast and hasn’t been following it beforehand. The Iron Sky mash-up sounds like too much of a hodge podge for that.
As much as a Castle Panic game would look good, I think a BoW Iron Sky game would be great to see. The movie was just mental from start to finish, so it can’t fail to impress with @warzans mad mind behind the table top game.
I’m for the Castle Panic idea for Salute, as it’s clear and thematic.Though I think Warren’s vision has Boot Camp Gone Wild written all over it! You could provide that framework for a Boot Camp and have it be a build on narrative experience as your attendees are responsible for adding their own new element to it. If you’re talking a time portal of some kind, ANYTHING could come through there! 🙂
Oh man! I like both, but I think I will have to go with Castle Panic! Bring on the monster madness! 😀
I vote for Castle Panic as long as when the players are going at it from each side and once they meet up in the middle and High Five. The winners could get little trophies of the Eiffel Tower.
Hehe, that’s just wrong. 🙂
Castle Panic!
Why not leave the choice to the game designers?
Oh Fleshy one (was I meant to say awesomeness somewhere in that line?)
Castle panic IMHO would be better for Salute, as Lloyd said ‘here is a monster go smash the castle’ quite simple really. Warren I think the other game should be played in a quite corner somewhere out of the way, it sounds mad lol.
Do Castle Panic, but with table in a cross shape (+) so there are four avenues of attack and defense, but people can still access what they need to from the sides.
Castle Panic!
Sorry @Warzan Lloyd is right about Gotham not being New York. Both cities exist in the DC Universe!
Gotham is New York with a nod and a wink.
@blackspiral, I like to think Gotham is some what modelled on NYC but not actually NYC.
But it looks like it can be both have a look at this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_locations_of_the_DC_Universe#Actual_cities_that_also_exist_on_the_DCU_Earth
There’s a line under the heading “Actual cities that also exist on the DCU Earth” that reads:
“New York, home base to many heroes over the years, including the current incarnation of the Teen Titans. However, in some versions, Metropolis or Gotham City are the DCU version of New York rather than a separate city.”
But like I said I’d like to think Metropolis, Gotham City and NYC all coexist.
Gotham is an old nickname for New York (given it by the guy who wrote The Legend of Sleepy Hollow). Bill Finger, the original writer on and co-creator of Batman, decided to use Gotham in place of Manhattan, where the Batman stories were meant to be set, and Gotham was always intended to be understood as New York.
Metropolis was originally a stand-in for Cleveland, but as Superman wound up being published by a New York publisher it was switched to an analogue of New York.
@warzan Amazon.co.uk is your friend!

PANIC……!
Castle Panic… Please!
It has to Castle Panic!
New York vs Dinosaurs vs space nazis vs the Hoff vs the 80s US national guard! Oh the great fleshy awsomeness of it all!
As epic as Iron sky would be, everyone would want to be Batman.
I’m for Iron Sky, but you should try to include as many movie references as possible. That way, you can have sheets where people spot the movies, the ones that get them all go into a prize draw.
Also, I’ve never played castle panic 🙁
Here’s a video link of gameplay of Castle Panic.

Nice castle Lloyd!
It had to be bought.
I think that Castle Panic mashup would be a great as a partition game. Drop in; get a monster, attack, get killed, drop out.
I would go with the castle game but If batman went back in time to the 80s I’m sure Doc and Marty from back to the future would of had something to do with it, just an idea?
