Title: Amin Dimood and the Island of Fear
Post by: Lardy Rich on August 24, 2017, 11:26:26 AM

Morning all.  We had a smashing game of Sharp Practice on Tuesday night with a slave rebellion on a Caribbean Island during the Napoleonic Wars.  All rather tongue in cheek but great fun.  You can read all about it here: http://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=6897

A few snaps for flavour

Great report! And very funny indeed! Also I absolutely agree with your parting words: it is about how the story goes.

Cards? What's this talk about cards? The rebellious slaves needed some movement dice! 4 and 2, indeed.

Vincent, the funny thing was that the slaves had a "step Out" rating of 1, so one additional command card would have given them an additional movement dice and almost certainly have got them into contact.  But luck was definitely against them.
