Impact, all utilising the distinctive artwork of J.D. Spencer. He also issued the series of complete TableTop Games of the Micro Series (Series I and Series II Games). In additiona Bob published Halifax Wargame Group members well known rules Retinue - Medieval Skirmish, Action Under Sail - Napoleonic, and Armada. TableTop Games frequently attended small local conventions within the UK. The owner Bob Conner passed away in 2003. TableTop Games published a number of micro-games and miniature rulesets in the late 1970's thru 2003. They are higly compact, require only a small playing area but still retain the qualities of a more conventional minatures-based game. The company co-published a number of these game via Heritage Models, Inc. and the cover art and the layout of some of these games varies between the Tabletop Games version vs. the Heritage Models versions. The company was sold June 14 2004 following the death of company principal Bob Conner to new owners. Dave Polhill formed Tabletop Games Ltd. and acquired the rights to the Tabletop Game line. The Company claimed on its website that they were unable to locate many of the authors of the games and royalty payments were not paid to the game authors in some cases after the change in ownership. This company developed a basic website which existed from 2004 to 2008. However, the website ceased being updated in 2006. Tabletop Games Ltd. primarily became a game distributor of multiple product lines after this time but did continue carry some of the tabletop game line. The rights to the miniature games were split to a different entity in 2004 and some of the those miniatures can still be purchased at www.15mm.co.uk. They currently sell digital copies of the Laserburn Rulesets. In December 2005 Tabletop Games Ltd. acquired the company Gamers Quest. The company merged stock with Gamers Quest and moved to a new location in 2006 in order to hold the stock of both companies. The miniature line has been acquired by www.15mm.co.uk. In November 2004 Tabletop Games Ltd. introduced the Tabletop Games Classics line of re-released titles in a new A4 format. The first two reprints were "Once Upon a Time in the West” and “Imperial Commander”. Siege, Medieval Skirmish Rules, Probsub, Dreadnought Era, Dreadnought Ship Data Cards, Action Under Sail (4th Edition), Advanced Laserburn, Combat 3000, Starhound, Encounter 1, Bodycount, Challenger 2000, Modern Equipment Handbook Part 1, Firefly,Death in a Distant Land, Death in a Distant Land Scenarios were also reprinted. Series I Games were printed in the mid 1970's thru the early 1980's. Series II Games were printed in the late 1970's thru the mid 1980's. These games are designed to enable players to recreate complete battles in a particular period of military history. Each games is complete in itself, but in addition, there are extra Army/Force cards available in each period to increase the scope of the game.
