ah yes I seem to remember the original had teams of Spacemarine Scouts fighting alien jungle monsters.
yea the home brew re-make has some lovely tiles, this game reminds me a little of Dwarven Dig especially those underworld tiles

Patrol Lost was based on the GW game Lost Patrol. In their caring fashion GW objected to BGG having rules for games that were out of production and discontinued -I guess there was a danger that people might by GW figures to play these out of production games, or might become interested in other GW games!

The real danger is existing GW players may discover old games and start to question why GW don't make anything that good any more - this leads to the further realisation GW have really gone down hill, lost their way and are now only interested in making as much money as they can from naive gamers who will eat any shit GW serves them and call it ice-cream because GW said it was. GW can't be having that - an uniformed gamer is a gamer you can sell anything to.
