It was a nice game my friend 

[DintheDin]

It was a nice game my friend 

Ha ha! It was a thrilling game!
You gunned me to smithereens and you fusilladed me to total annihilation!
Since then, we became friends

Well done again, Dinos . I read it right through, a Ripping Yarn . Are they 15mm figures, I was trying to identify them ,a mix of  metal and plastics ? What rules and cards did you use ?  We tend to use SP2 for our skirmish games .

Sorry, I forgot to mention the rules...
The credits go to Miltiades, all the stuff on the table belongs to his collection.
We played with Miltiades' colonial rules, tweaked for the needs of this game.

I would like to see your friend’s rules , if thats possible , Dinos .

I'll talk to Miltiades and I'll do my best to send you the core of the rules, don't expect something spectacular, very simple ones, but they work. We have played several games and the battle reports of a number of them is already posted in LAF, in the Colonial section,
e.g. my scenario 'Sudan Campaign Mayhem in Dar-Al-Hadi'
 http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=102556.msg1273354#msg1273354
played with The Men Who Would Be Kings (TMWWBK) rules and with Miltiades' colonial rules.
Or  Omdurman

Or battle of Khambula 1879

Dinos' pirate games are always great fun, and very cinematic -of course every players thinks HE is Errol Flynn! After yesterday we had a brief chat about making the first game of the "season" (the group tends to drift apart over the summer holidays, as some are reclaimed by their families) always a pirate game, it's got the right amount of irreverent chaos and jolly banter to start things with a proper flourish.

I can't do anything more than thank you greatly for your nice and encouraging words!
We really had fun yesterday and you gave a good account of yourself!
I shall try to convey this joyful feeling with my next report (hopefully in a few hours).
Once a pirate, always a pirate!

Cheers!
