Title: The Death of Bickley Pasha
Post by: Yankeepedlar01 on January 27, 2011, 06:31:27 PM: A brief photomontage of a game played in GHQ this afternoon. I was the Egyptians, Jon the Mahdists... The title may give the outcome away.

Thanks, Captain B. It is a wargame, none of this 50 figures a side stuff for real gamers, eh? :D
I am happy to say they are selling steadily and I am well advanced on a set for the Indian Mutiny, using mechanisms from the first two sets, together with some newideas I've worked on.

Don't be saddened, if he keeps winning it will only go to his head :)

No, you are wrong there, too modest for that to happen! :D
Liked your Carlist War photo report on your blog by the way. Did you mention that I won, I can't remember.... :D

Ah, John, they say immitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Don't forget to send some dates for your visit to GHQ for a game.

Title: Re: The Death of Bickley Pasha
Post by: Yankeepedlar01 on March 04, 2011, 05:08:25 PM: The QRS is on pages 35 & 36 in the rulebook, although I did print my own out, of course, and laminated them for harder wear. ;)
I hope that you will enjoy playing the games when your forces are ready!
Cheers!

Hi!
Yes, it is a terrain mat, no space in GHQ to store proper desert scenery, that's in the loft and I'm usually too idle to fetch it down...

A bit of rough, eh, John? You surprise me. Not from Antenoceiti, from the Terrain Matt guy, in Ipswich I think...

Yep - that's the one. I have 3 of them - wouldn't believe what I paid to get them to NZ! How have you found them for flaking and such (I see you have a large bald patch developing in one of the photos)? Also have yours softened up - mine were really stiff and rigid for 2-3 years (which exacerbated the flaking) but seem to have finally started to soften & get flexible...

My TM lives on the permanent table in GHQ under the more frequently used terrain tiles I had made by Phil Robinson. The TM is still pretty rigid but it has shown a propensity to shed surface materials in places. As to my bald patches, well, that's a moot point....
