Thanks for the kind words gents & thanks Andrew for posting.
The game is based on the board game 221b Baker Street with a wargame bolted on. The players try to solve the crime as in the board game, but Holmes style encounters get in their way - the wargame bit.
I have used several board game for inspiration/systems- Buccaneer is in the pipeline.
I hope that some of you gents will make your way to The Bunker & sample them first hand!

That's a fantastic board - and it was only a filler game! I'm in awe.

Love the idea of using 221B - I have fond memories of the original version.

Thanks Colonel
At £2.50 from a charity shop the game was a must. The problem with any game involving a hero is that he is either far too good or just not good enough! By having Sherlock as a random card that helps the players the problem is negated. Adding random encounters such as Pickpockets/Tongs/London Peculiar etc gives the right feel to the game
