GASLIGHT at Cold Wars 2003
G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. had a massive presence at Cold Wars, this year. Chris Palmer ran a session of ACW by G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. using the original rules, and two games in 15mm using the new "Battles by G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T." rules which were launched at the show. Rob Beattie ran two games of "How Few Remain by GASLIGHT" also using "Battles by G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T.", while Todd Harland-White ran "Black and Decker amidst the Dunes of Doom" featuring the near legendary Anubis packaging statues.
