Irritable at Bhowelpore. Sharp Practice Mutiny Report
« on: March 09, 2016, 11:10:55 AM »
Morning all

We had a  rather fun game of Sharp Practice on Lard Island Last night as we get ready for the second edition of the rules.  You can read all about the game here:

And some snaps to whet your appetite.







Hope you enjoy it.

I'm painting as fast as I can! Honest! ;D

I think these are the  Indian Mutiny rules I've been looking for for so long.

Rich, an army list for the Boshin war (1967/68) will be very appreciated.
Could we see it?

Terrific stuff!  :-* Time and funds permitting this will be my next project.  :)

An AWI report and now a Mutiny report.
Both well done.
I like the fact that the rules can be used for many periods.
Also love the figures and terrain.

Excellent stuff Richard and great to see the Indian Mutiny being play tested.  :-* :-* :-*

Very much looking forward to SP II.

Now, I need to pull my finger out on the IM painting front! :)

Do you need a dose of miniaturepectate, perhaps?!   lol

Love the Indian Mutiny, colorful period full of scenario variety.

Looks excellent! I understand the new SP uses dice rather than cards in the manner of Chain of Command?

Hi James,
Cards or Chips for activation, dice for movement/shooting/fisticuffs/any special events. Some discussion re which is better at

Lucky indeed! I'm dying to see the new rules set for playing the Indian Mutiny!!  :P :P :P

Kudos to Derek for making the chip frames for printing. I reckon I'll be giving it a try very soon  8)
