Full Version: Awesome idea for a tactical board game

I recently learned that in the small town of Laughlin, NV, there was a bigass battle between the Hell's Angels and the Mongols involving up to 100 combatants.

I think someone should totally make an Avalon Hill style tactical boardgame of that battle. Each player would have a certain number of points to purchase gang members, individual weapons, and "upgrades" for their gang members such as meth. You could then have an indoor tactical battle with slot machines and gaming tables being the terrain.

You'll have to watch out about the use of their actual names because I *think* at least the Hell's Angels have trademarked their name. On top of possible legal battle over name use, well, does one really want to piss off a gang that would no sooner pay a visit...?

Other than that, yeah, that would be a riot to play... pun intended. nyahnyah.gif

The History Channel should authorize a "Gangland" tabletop game, based on their documentary series. Think Twilight Imperium with city blocks or territories instead of star systems.

Mongols vs. Aryan Nation vs. Mexican Mafia vs. MS-13 vs. Bloods vs. Crips... Who. Will. Win!?!?
