I saw a cool-looking game the other day at a store that sells boutique board games, like the avalon hill and games workshop type stuff. It looked like an update of the old _Twilight 2000_ game, a sort of post-apocalyptic deal that wasn’t quite all the way to _Mad Max_. It’s contemporary and in print, as they had many copies on the shelf.

Anyone know what it is?

Was it an actual board game? or a miniatures game like Warhammer 40,000?  
Did it come in a box? was it friggen huge?

I doubt it is one of these:

It was a big, boxed game, and I think that it might have had miniatures, but the main board was a _Risk_-esque map. It was a $75 boxed game a la _Descent_, _Battle Lore_, _Twilight Imperium_, etc.

Was it Neuroshima Hex? [Neuroshima Hex! 3.0 | Board Game | BoardGameGeek](http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/21241)  
(I’m guessing not)

I recommend going back to the store and finding out what it was ( and please tell me because I’m stumped)
