Title: Sharp Practice AAR - Chase's Rockets
Post by: Furt on January 25, 2011, 11:36:18 PM

I've posted the latest installment of our Indostan campaign, using the Sharp Practice rules and featuring rockets. Please have a look on my blog for the complete report and heaps of photos. http://adventuresinlead.blogspot.com/2011/01/chases-rockets.html

I've also photoshopped some images and would love to know what everyone thinks about it and whether they add to or deter from the action.

Thanks for looking.

It all adds to the fun. If you enjoy doing the photoshopping then do it, however the poll result turns out.

You're not a TV network, don't be a slave to ratings and focus groups.  :)

I think that it look cool. It show the erratic trajectory and (very) relative efficiency of the rockets of the time lol

… off to read your blog now

Great report  :-*

To think that 'our boys' were beaten by pyrotechnics.... Shame on them!

What a great report! Well done Frank. The photo shopped images of the rockets trajectory is brilliant. This is exactly how Sharpe Practise should be played (tongue firmly in side of cheek). :) Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the comments.

I know the explosions need a bit of work, but I wanted to gauge responses to this sort of thing.

Cant wait to see the writeup Nick (there will be a report right?). Is "Big Z" making an appearance?

Hopefully we will remember to record the event on camera, I often forget during all the excitement. lol

"Big Z" will be elsewhere in California that day, this is going to be a straight up fight between those rebellious Teixans and their oppressive Mexican landlords ;)
