Im back with some interesting discovery on my part for modern military stuff. Today, I went down wif my frens, WT and Veron to Paradigm Infinitum and we were browsing around the shop, and i happen to find a tabletop game called Battlefield Evolution. And somehow or another, it seems relatively similar to Battlefield 2 computer game, just tht it uses figures and vehicles that are already painted to play on a tabletop.
They even have 4 factions at the moments. USMC, PLA, ETF and MEA.. (sounds very similar to Battlefield 2 forces including the Euro Force). Although apart from certain new interesting vehicles and the fact that MEA is more of a Terrorist Organisation with mediocre Civilian Firepower, which is rather different than the MEC force that is more of a professional army in BF2, the game seems to depict the computer game rather similarly.
I have not seen any of the rules or the gameplay, but it looks intresting enough to try it out. At the same time, the figures are not that bad and with certain tweaking, can be made to look as good as collectible painted quality.
This game is produced by Mongoose Publishing which brought to the public, the "Starship trooper" tabletop game and is now focusing on this new tabletop game development.
Not as well established as Games Workshop, Mongoose Publishing does not have the stability compared to the Warhamme rfranchise but at the same time, it has a great potential, especially this s the first Modern Military Tabletop game wif Ready-painted plastic Vehicles and Figures that are of relatively good quality. At the same time, it has an official gaming rulebook and looks to be developing furthur. Hopefully th eproject doesnt shutdown.. But with regards to collectibles, it is a good time to acquire some of its figures to add to the collection. Modifying and painting it will only make it look better, s there is no lost in taking an interest and checking it out.
On a detail note of the products, the vehicles and figures are on a scale of 1/65, so for most modellers who do 1/72 scale armor and figures, it will be slightly bigger depending on which model brand u support. Currently, i dun see much of a big difference between the M1A2 Abram scaled to 1/65 and 1/72, though it can be seen that one is but only slightly smalle rthan the other.
In any case, you be the judge and check out the game and tell me about what do u tink. Josh, u might also take some interest in it too.. Perhaps :p

I doubt it will be exactly this detailed for the real product as these products are all ready-made, and detailed painting can only be truly done by the hands of a MASTER.. lmao
Cheerio
