Hello I'm Mark Mr MIN, Man of TIN. Based in S.W. Britain, I'm a lifelong collector of "tiny men" and old toy soldiers, whether tin, lead or childhood vintage 1960s and 1970s plastic figures. I randomly collect all scales and periods and "imagi-nations" as well as lead civilians, farm and zoo animals.

  Glad you liked it. Thanks for the tip off. I don’t know the Fistful Of Lead core rules so haven’t rushed to buy Snowbrawl but will keep an eye out for news of it on forums. I’m sure it will make a connection with many other people for an interesting seasonal stand alone game.
  
  I hope the snowballer / snowmen figures work out well. I would be interested to know more about how their “simple fun rules” play out.
