Flat Caps and Truncheon is a two player starter set for The Chicago Way game from Greate Escape Games. The Chicago Way is set in Prohibition era Chicago, this set transports the action to Interwar Birmingham, inspired by the BBC series Peaky Blinders.
The game comes in a large box.
The box contains fifteen 28mm scale white metal figures and fifteen standard Renedra 25mm round bases (I used Wargames Atlantic 25mm dual use bases for the figures so I cound have a flat blend in with the puddle bases on the figures).
There are seven Peaky Blinders figures including one with a Lewis Gun and another withh a WW1 German submachine gun.
There are seven City of Birmingham police, three with rifles, two with pistols, one with a truncheon and a plain clothes one with a pistol.
There is also a Molly Suffolk character.
There are the required cards, both generic The Chicago Way and Flat Caps and Truncheon specific ones, plus a set of markers. There is also a character card for Molly Suffolk.
There is a standard The Chicago Way rule book, and a three leaf fold out sheet with three scenarios and the stats for the police and criminals.
I was rather disappointed with the latter, I had hoped for more details on the set up (I have never watched Peaky Blinders).
