The Chase Is On In New Skirmish Game Hunt Saboteur

May 16, 2019 by cassn

Hunt Saboteur is a skirmish-level tabletop miniatures game which aims to recreate the intensity and strategic tactics used in stand-offs between traditional fox hunters and hunt saboteurs in the English countryside.

In the two-person game, players move around the table as opposing forces, trying to manipulate a pack of hounds who are in pursuit of a fox. The game takes around 45 minutes to play, and this first Kickstarter includes a PDF rulebook and three unpainted 28mm resin miniatures - a saboteur, a fox, and a hound, which could further be incorporated into other tabletop games.

This is Tally-Ho Games first Kickstarter, however, the designer is hoping to expand on future Kickstarters to include a hardcopy rule book, huntsmen, and a Huntsmaster.

This seems like a really interesting concept for a game - I feel like it could be a contentious topic for some people, however, in the end it is about the quality of the mechanics. So if you like the thrill of the chase, you can sniff out the full details of the campaign here.

Are any topics 'off-limit' for tabletop gaming? Tell us what you think!

I think this needs tweaking slightly…

Take a couple of foxes with pistols from Burrows and Badgers…

Give them a pack of rodents to chase the prey…

Insert one hobbit as prey… lets call him… Sam 🙂

Or just let a pack of foxes (not sure of the “group” name for foxes) and let them chase a single dog. May be have a wolf-in-fox clothing as a surprise for the dogs.

I love you too, @pagan8th

Sam is a common name. Is your ego so big that you assume I meant you?

odd skirmish game to make, that’s not negative, it’s very left field and has me intruiged..

However… i’d love to get my hands on some huntsmen miniatures, the temptation to use them as some odd future in other skirmish games where britain is a totalitarian state or to go with those armed cricketers and armed miners where you have a skirmish game like the warriors but very british..

The Warriors… as in the old movie about gangs?

Love the idea of bunch of cricketers taking on some morris dancers, dustmen, milk men, train spotters and all sort of quirky characters.

You have to write the rules now @skiptotheend … it’s your idea

this is exactly what i was thinking! haha unfortunately id be rubbish at making rules but might see if the game below could do something along those lines!

Playing “A Very British Civil War” got a bit of traction a few years ago. I remember seeing a Hunt Faction – hounds, men on horses, a few young men on foot but I can’t find them now, they may have been a conversion or are now out of production. There would be a couple of decent rulesets knocking about as well.
