So save your ducats my friends as I found a redesigned copy of Melee for you!
If you own any of the Heroscape stuff, you can build your own Melee board with those hex tiles and use D&D minis or Heroscape minis to represent your fighters!

have you seen this site? http://www.meleewizards.com/
Yes that is a fantastic site! Lots of great stuff, but not a lot of updates unfortunately!
Thanks for sharing this!
My pleasure Jim! I have a little combat board-game on the anvil and hope to unleash it on New years Day...
I **so** appreciate this, I missed it when it first debuted. Like you, I have an endless fascination with M/W/TFT, and George will tell you I'm one of DCG's biggest fans.
GREAT blogs, btw, really looking forward to your works.
@Robert-Thanks for for the kind words. George and Bret are great guys and I hope DCG is around for many years to come...and that they publish an actual RULES BOOK at some point! :)
I was interested about what you said about that, Christopher. I would love to see DCG expand Legends to the size of a full booklet. Like DoU, but not so skimpy and breathless.
Is it that they're not interested in publishing it, or simply not interested in writing it? I've lost count how many times folks on RPGnet have said "Why isn't there a TFT retroclone?" And these same people have no idea who DCG is, often because they pay so little attention to boardgames.
I've been telling myself for 10 years I was going to write one, though I've been more interested for the past two years in doing an SF version. Like Starleader: Assault, but actually playable :)
It's been a few years since I last traded emails with George, so my information-and recollection, should not be taken as DCG gospel nor reflective of their current thoughts and plans. That being said, they felt adventure modules were more interesting and better for their company than a complete rules set. Secondarily I believe there was some concern over publishing a TFT rules set. They did not want to chance any potential legal difficulties so they published a free set which is just enough to play their modules. They do have a sci-fi set including star ship combat available and a good set of adventures supporting it. Additionally someone converted (in skeleton form) Traveller to TFT. I downloaded those rules an can post them if there is interest.
I thought this was pretty cool when I ran across it a while back. I instantly downloaded it but have yet to print it.
It's worth doing, and check out my own mini combat game on my Roguish RPG site!
