Here are the games on offer on Saturday afternoon, from 2pm to 6pm.
In 2009 the world thought it had been granted a miracle in the form of the LAZARUS drug, a cure for cancer and other wasting diseases that seemed to be effective in over 90% of patients treated with it. One year later the miracle turned into a nightmare when an unknown virus mutated as a result of coming into contact with the LAZARUS drug and resulted in a viral plague that swept through much of the world’s population in a matter of weeks, turning those that became infected into seemingly mindless flesh-craving zombies that preyed upon anything they could catch.
In A Thousand Zombies and No Fire Axe! the players are six survivors that have found themselves holed up in a suburban house with dwindling supplies, no real weapons, and an improbably large number of the walking dead ambling around the perimeter of the house. Frustrations and despair are setting in and decisions need to be reached soon before all hope is lost.
The game will be systemless and is a 5-6 player game.

Welcome, Team F.E.L.I.N.E. As you know, we, the Ferocious Extraordinary Lynxes Instigating the New Establishment, were once simple creatures. Ordinary cats leading ordinary lives. Cute amusements for humanity’s delight. But that was before The Awakening. We did not know the origin of our new found intelligence. Some claim it was the work of aliens. Some credit the Russians. Others say the great deity Gar Field, as read in the sacred Litterbox Papers, took pity on us and helped us ascend. But one thing was clear: we were meant to rule the inferior humans. Tonight we complete our master plan.
A game of nonsense for up to 6 cats, using a simple Odds/Evens system. So simple anyone with paws can master it.
Money Back Guarantee: There is a 67.4% probability this is the best game about cats taking over the world you will play at this year’s Battlecry. GUARANTEED!!

With Khadoran forces entrenched within the once proud nation of Llael and Cygnar pressed to defend her own borders, the forces that once policed these proud nations have all but disappeared. Even in Ord, who has yet to act in the war that is rapidly sweeping Immoren, the roads have become a dangerous place to be caught unprotected. With war nearly on all fronts, the Mercarian League and the Mateu Merchant Houses’ rivalry has reached all new heights. This competition has prompted both parties to secure Letters of Marque from Cygnar, thrusting them into a battle for many of the trade routes used throughout western Immoren. In doing so, both parties have taken to raiding one another’s vessels and have recently discovered a dangerous Cryxian item in the process…
A game for 4 to 6 players.
Addition notes: This is set in the Iron Kingdoms world, using the D20 system.

The year is 1937. U.S President Franklin D. Roosevelt has just come into a second term. DC Comics has printed its first ever issue. The German military machine is regaining its might. And in the strangest poker hand he’s ever played, Rory Anderson has just won an old manor in Lancaster, England. Nobody’s quite sure where the last owner disappeared to. They say he skipped the country to avoiding serving in the Great War. Rory and a few friends have headed up to see his prize. There’s no electricity. No phones. And more than a few creepy noises. It’s an odd house. But probably worth a fortune. Rory must have had the Devil’s own luck to win it…
A game for 5, minimum of 4 players.
Rules: Systemless. Style: Horror/Mystery.
