Hammer’s Slammers - Reviews and more
There have been several reviews of the rules in on-line locations plus more
in print. This page aims to point gamers in their direction.
The rulebook itself is described in print in a review by Wargames Recon as
“...beautiful... Pure wargames porn...” and is sumptuously illustrated. They later
went on to say that the “...system deserves to have a good following, it has a fully
rounded universe, interesting concepts, popular books and a pretty slick set of
rules...”. The reviewer gave them “...7.5 out of 10 overall”.
But don’t just take their word for it: there’s a pod cast review from Meeples &
Miniatures (number 68), a review in Issue 7 of The Ancible and a review in this
issue of Sierra Foxtrot One Five who give the book “...3.5 out of 4 stars and
recommend[s] it to every-body out there”. So read (or listen) to the independent
reviews and then make your own decisions! Or try this You Tube Link!
Another review of The Crucible in a podcast can be had from This Week in
Wargaming Episode AT13. The reviewer says “This book is gorgeous... You could
leave this out on your coffee table to explain what this hobby is all about... if you
have any interest in sci-fi this is a This Week in Wargaming purchase”.
Have a look at an online thread describing the rules on TMP by poster Failure16.
