That, ladies and gentlemen, is a lesson in VSF!

Magnificent ........

WOW :-*I agree with Svenn

Is prussia's secret weapon one of your builds?
Any more picture of that?

I agree More pics please
(and some close ups of chinese troops, chinese civilians etc etc )

[former user]

thank You for the very nice pictures - makes me almost cry that I couldn't come

the Wotan-bomb is not supposed to be there, only the plans

but in one of the very early drafts of the scenario there was the idea, and a bit of it made it into the pictures
so if anyone would like to guess, I will take the freedom to play the game

Great looking game. Some wonderful terrain pieces like the crane and battleship, but also lots of interesting small details that make you want to keep going back to the pictures to see what you missed.

Absolutely. Complete eye-candy heaven!

Yes, the prussian tank is called "Rumpelstilzchen" and has been one of my very first VSF-tanks. Parts used were a Historex 54mm Napoleonic gun for wheels and supports and SF3D-parts for the body-ball, amongst others. As you see, the Prussians very early developed this innovative hull concept where all shots would harmlessly bounce off. Even when all wheels have been shot to pieces by enemy fire, the main hull would just bowl around the battlefield, but never burst. It just was a kind of special event for the crew inside ... 

Here's another pic:



I'm still checking about the blue chinese regiment and will post the maker as soon as I've got a reply.

More pics: if you would like to see more pictures of our game, why not have a look at the very nice selection at the Tactica-page; this is the first incarnation of the game early this year showing much more troops and vehicles than at Crisis. We were using TSATF-rules there and changed over to T&T later, reducing troops and units by about half. Here's the link:

Thanks for all your nice comments, we try to set up another fine game for the next year's show!

Is the guy in the lower left of this picture sporting a Ramshackle head?

[former user]

no, as far as I know it is converted from several piecesand part of a bigger unit

Not sure if the author is a user here, maybe he should detail how he did it

[Admiral Benbow]

Just looking through the pictures again
What make are the Chinese troops in turbans, blue uniform infantry and gun crew?
They look just like what I am after for my own VSF army.

Just got some info from a club's fellow: the blue uniformed chinese troops are from Foundry's "Ever Victorious Army" range (Taiping rebellion). Unfortunately, they are no longer listed.

What can I say? So many ideas to steal! 

[vikotnik]

Michael, once again I can only return the congrats!
Simply amazing, I can only guess how much energy was needed to make up a scenario this size and quality!

[ushistoryprof]

Wow! Wish I could have seen this in person. Congrats to all those involved in creating such a beautiful set up!!!

[Leapsnbounds]

This is the most incredible set and adventure I have ever seen on this forum, how did you do it?  Fantastic! is just a beginning descriptor.

[Dragoman]

Perhaps you have a look at the Club's own website on this game at http://www.ths-wargames.de/artikel/tsingtauengl.htm
Pictures of the event at Crisis will surely be included soon.

Looks stunning, but can you give any advice/information about the industrial buildings in the photo ?
