The game look excellent! And your battle report is very enjoyable. It is great to see the Empress figures in use. And those 4Ground buildings do the job really well for New Zealand.

Everyone wants to play the game again so I must have done something right somewhere, the pointers you give are fantastic and will go a long way to me running this game again very soon. It never helps when too many players take part in a first run of a game...especially at our club with members a tad overexciteable at the best of times....sigh. Thanks again, Clarence, I now need to paint more Maoris :)Leofwine Wargamersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793737318401615556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049833607758520037.post-44369259189623900782014-10-31T03:22:24.556+00:002014-10-31T03:22:24.556+00:00Hi, Andy. Glad you enjoyed the game. The rules wer...Hi, Andy. Glad you enjoyed the game. The rules were originally written for my Darkest Africa games and do indeed require tweeks for this period. I allow formation changes with half moves for regulars and also the reload card is only needed for units with muskets... Men with the more modern weapons of the age may fire every time their card is drawn. I give natives a +2" move and you may find they need 50% more units to overcome the extra fire power of the settlers. Truth be told I rarely use any sort of army lists when designing scenarios. <br /><br />Anyway, it sounds like you have the spirit of it - I look forward to seeing more adventures! You will definitely find the game faster once you've got a few games in.quindiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194306105013871853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049833607758520037.post-57901914862470400952014-10-29T22:23:55.016+00:002014-10-29T22:23:55.016+00:00Hi Phil, Thanks :) The buildings are 4Ground, the ...Hi Phil, Thanks :) The buildings are 4Ground, the figures Empress Miniatures.

I have been enthused to get the full game up and running though :)Leofwine Wargamersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793737318401615556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049833607758520037.post-22024428357113133052014-10-29T21:41:33.749+00:002014-10-29T21:41:33.749+00:00Great looking game, this table is splendid (love t...Great looking game, this table is splendid (love the buildings...)Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049833607758520037.post-41835080117393065042014-10-29T20:34:43.467+00:002014-10-29T20:34:43.467+00:00Looked like a damned good game!!!Looked like a damned good game!!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049833607758520037.post-27396337236725330002014-10-29T13:00:14.871+00:002014-10-29T13:00:14.871+00:00A very good after action Report.

I was surprised to see the British not in close order as this would have given them +1 to hit, but would mean certain terrain types were impassable. The colonial types as irregulars makes sense. Nice to see it all together and to note that the Flagstaff war has begun.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.com
