Monday night saw the shed host a Dads Army themed game using Fist Full of Lead. Full write and scenario details on the blog - lots of humour and carnage !

I love every photo in this post. The scenario also has a lot of personality, which I appreciate. I've also never used the Fist Full of Lead rules, so how it played out was new to me.

Wow.  Quite the scrum.  And quite the story - which is one of FFoL's plusses - it helps tell a story.  Well done, lad!  Well, except for letting that envelope get away, that is.... :D

Great to see Dad's Army out for a spin Giles. Great write up of a hilarious game. Pity that this time there was no U-Boat or disguised Nuns involved. lol lol

A mash up of Dad's Army and Allo' Allo' would be my idea of the very best in WW2 derived gentle humor :D

Very good! As we've discussed a few times now, the narrative driven games where players can immerse themselves in the setting are great to play and fun to run. Nice to see you back at it.

Very nice.

Absolute mayhem and carnage, loved it!
But where was the (rather large) pier in the TOWN of Walmington-on-SEA?
Don't remember a Colonel Mustard but there was a Colonel (now Captain in a rival HG platoon) Square - made General Melchett seem positively sane in comparison.

Good to see this out again, Giles.

I remember playing a version of this at one of our meet-ups where I drove over the nuns in Jones's van (in case they were German agents), then reversed over them just to make sure  lol

I seem to recall you may have had a minor sense of humour failure about it, Giles ;) lol lol lol lol
