'The Warriors' Rumble at Havoc 2025 Convention
Since the movie "The Warriors" inspired this set of miniatures rules, it is fitting we show you a wargamer who has recreated the iconic gangs of the 1979 movie in 28mm miniatures. Cat took the game to her local convention and the players had a blast! Her New York City street board is just as amazing as her meticulously recreated gangs from the movie. This is one of her posts on the Lead Adventure Forum. Cat shares an after-action report on the game and lots of photos. The picture of the players all flashing their made up gang signs is a hoot. Read this thread on Lead Adventure Forum and enjoy lots of Mean Streets goodness!
