Critter Commandos

Critter Commandos is a miniatures wargame involving battling cartoon characters that was published by Crunchy Frog Enterprises in 1989.

Description

Critter Commandos is a miniatures wargame of squad level combats between cartoon characters,[1] featuring weapons such as glue guns, rubber mallets and pies, and equipment such as jet packs, giant banana peels and tricycles.[2]

The original rules were written by Paul Arden Lidberg and published in 1989. A revised and expanded version with more cartoon characters, and role-playing rules for individual characters was released in 1991.[2]

In the October-November 1989 edition of Space Gamer (Issue 87), the creator of Critter Commandos, Paul Lidberg, published a system to convert Warhammer 40K to the Critter Commandos rules system.[3]

Reception

In the May 1993 edition of Dragon (Issue #193), Lester W. Smith called Critter Commandos "a rather strange game" but he recommended it, saying, "Overall, it’s a nice package at a reasonable price. Even if you haven’t been hankering to run mobs of crazed gorillas with cream pies against giant robots, this game may give you that desire. And in any event, it’s a good read."[2]

gollark: RANDOM.
gollark: Also those 8102 digits of tau. Maybe I should compress them.
gollark: There's actually a bit of the code just listing words containing OS.
