Another heads up from Sir Paul at YWW:
Tooth And Claw is a complete set of miniature wargame rules
for the most civilized past-time of hunting extinct prehistoric
mammals, by Chris Peers (author of Saurian Safari and Mammalian Mayhem)
Inspired mainly by the re-release of the splendid Dee Zee Miniatures models (though it does cater for a range of other creatures not so far included in this range),Tooth And Claw offers an exciting and
challenging evening's entertainment. It uses fairly conventional
skirmish wargame mechanisms to enable players to take on the
roles of Stone Age tribesmen or Victorian big game hunters as
they go in pursuit of some of the most dangerous creatures of all
time - the monsters of the early Age of Mammals and the giants
of the Ice Age.
All the players in Tooth And Claw take on the role of
hunters, with the animals being controlled automatically.
A game of this type lends itself perfectly to one-off
scenarios, which can be played either solo or with a
group of players. Players can either co-operate or
compete against each other, according to their
temperament or how you set things up.
The rulebook is 36 pages and fully illustrated in full
color throughout.
Available from all good hobby shops and
www.wargamesillustrated.net from around
22nd November.

I'm really looking forward to getting these, but note the absence of mentioning dinosaurs -only Mammalian megafauna. We shall see...
Perhaps it can be combined with his other works?
Looks pretty interesting!
