Most telling when there are two tents pitched. ;)

No wonder Ace couldn't wait to get his mitts around Pop Top's throat! lol

Very nice!

Loved it....I'm going to have to try my hand at one of these style reports. I like how you add the summary part to the end of each turn. I don't know if my photos over the course of the game will be enough, though. So, I may have to go back and restage certain scenes....hmmm.

Great job!

Dave,
Another awesome AAR.
I loved it when the Ford went BOOM!
Thanks for posting!

Most telling when there are two tents pitched....
It looked to me like each was in their own tent and were simply talking through the canvas.
It reminded me of the old TVs shows like I Love Lucy where even though they were married they slept in separate beds.  ;)

At this rate you'll supersede the Wargame magazine reviews the rules stage and deserve to get a full on (four page minimum) feature report.  :-*

Both were in the same tent. Look at where their both standing when they first make their appearance.  ;)

Amalric,
             You have a point there.  I was looking at a couple places where the balloons were in the same tent.

What a BLAST!  :D

Really enjoyed reading this chapter.

And talk about cliffhangers...

Thanks for sharing.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

*sigh*...

This is the good stuff.
Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing

Nick, this will be one of those great controversies, like the Kennedy Assassination, the Moon Landing, and Nebraska. We may never know the truth!  ;D ;D

BTW -- I sent you a box today.

Mike, I take an insane amount of pics during the games. Because I'm just shooting on the fly, during the game, at least half of my snaps are worthless due to lighting or focus or whatever.

On average, I snap about 180 pics during a scenario. Half of those are deleted because they suck, then another two-thirds are deleted because they are duplicates, and that leaves me with around 30 decent pics to use.

One danger is that you slow the game down and people stop playing so you can take photos. I try really hard to avoid this and encourage the players to keep going.

I get the feeling that you are very involved in your games so you'll just have to see what works for you. Around here, I try very hard to be a spectator... but that doesn't always work.   ;)


HAVE FUN
