A few pictures from our Deep Sea Divers Game-24 And A Half Thousand Leagues Under The Sea at the Carronade Game Show in Falkirk last Saturday.

So, of course, my immediate reaction... Woof!

Certains, dwarfs my humble solo attempts.

Can you give details as to rules and figs?

Are there any HLBS? I think I see some, but my eyes and screen fail me...

Thanks so much!

Doug

Yes these are HLBS figures in the back the rest are Schelturn figs usually only available at shows.The rules I made up myself as I wanted a set that fitted one side of an A4 piece of paper.Basically move,combat and random fishy appearance.

This is very interesting. I'd love to see more about this. I've done a scuba diving game and I'm planning a VSF game, probably using Pulp Alley this time.

Who is selling Scheltrum at shows? I have some, but I thought they were long gone from what I have read.

Thanks again!

Simple is generally best, indeed.

I will say Glorious Adventures in the Age of Steam got me excited to try again, having both an undersea combat AND a lost continent of Atlantis sections, but that was mostly familiarity with the FoL system and some particular details I wanted which were already worked out. Lazy R Me.

I'm still fiddling, you're posting completed battles...

As for Scheltrum, I have picked up a few here and there, but I fear I shall see no more on this side of the pond.

Thanks. Interesting to know they are still going although I am as far from "points north" as you can be in the UK. Scrotum doesn't seem to have an online shop as far as I can tell.

No apology to me; I assumed the opposite of damning with faint praise, compliment by harsh language.  ;)

Similar to adding a person to my list of hated competent painters...  lol

I seem to recall someone having an email to check for availability, but nothing posted after.

However, does make seeing such glorious battles a tad bittersweet.

I'm of the understanding that the website uses the Brigadoon protocol.

I'm always amazed in this hobby that so many manufacturers work really hard at selling  as little as possible.

If they are true cottage industry manufacturers, they don't seek a big sales audience. They just happened to make something that people like but they didn't think it would be such a huge market.

Life is always more complex.

Possibly success grew faster than was expected; sometimes RL throws a curve that effects business indirectly.

Lovely stuff I quite enjoyed, and I seem to recall the store was entertaining to visit. With any luck, I shall see more again.

Only good thoughts...
