As you can imagine, the emergence of a wargames shop that’s built on the Apple Mac/iOS platform set hearts aflutter (OK, maybe just one heart, but it’s mine, so it counts!) here at GrogHeads. So welcome Hunted Cow Games and let’s get to know these fine Scotsmen

First things first – what cow are we hunting?
That most glorious, most stately and above all hirsute example of the bovine race: the Highland cow.
What happens when the cow gets caught?
Sadly, the cow has thus far eluded our grasp. However, when we do finally get our hands on it, it will end up the way most food does in Scotland – coated in batter and deep-fried.
Why a cow and not, say a Vietnamese water buffalo?
The Highland cow is the most famous beast of the Highlands of Scotland, and given that we’ve always been based here, it seemed like a good fit for us. We did actually consider flying a water buffalo over to Scotland, but the cost was ridiculous. It also seemed a little cruel.

Most of our games are pitched at entry-level prices where we think we have managed to get to a lot more players than any other wargames company. Continue reading →
