Laserburn (15mm) (TTG)
Laserburn was a set of tabletop gaming rules that was first published in 1980 by Tabletop Games. It was written by Bryan Ansell and is suitable for both 15mm (this page) and 25mm scales.
Tabletop Games listed these figures in their catalogs but it is unclear whether they or Asgard produced the figures. In a White Dwarf 25 [4] article from 1981 some of these figures were announced as being released by Asgard for use with the Combat 3000 rules so it is likely they were initially produced by Asgard for Combat 3000 before Laserburn.
In North America, these were produced/imported by Tabletop Miniatures, Cincinnati and appear to have been distributed by Ral Partha and RAFM. [3] These figures were released into the North American market in "April 15, 1982". See: LB section.
The rule books and many figures in this range are still available from Alternative Armies (and previously as 15mm).
