Hello everybody,
yesterday we had a TSATF game featuring British, Egyptian and rebellious fellahin fighting on the Mediterranean coast.

Stupenda! Bravo. Lovely pictures, though so many of them and taking so long to load I did not wait for all of them but still well worth a look.
How many people's toys to put the game on? Or all one person's?!

:-*
Fantastic! What a wonderful setup. I love the fort.

Dear fellow gamer,
yes the photos are a bit too many, thank you for your patience for having a look and sorry!
It is my first posting, I have to learn.
I am now writing comments to the photos, so you might be able to follow the story..
Scenery is from our local club inventory and two members, while figures are from
a good friend and myself.
cheers to everybody, happy gaming! S

Never too many pictures ;)

Outstanding, just outstanding. Looks like it was a great game, thanks for sharing.

Sitting at a University's NOC, I'd usually agree, but they are taking a LONG time to load. Perhaps small pipe at other end? :D
However, well worth the wait! The ships are PMC? The buildings?
"If some fellow gamer is interested I will gladly translate."
Perhaps as a link off the battle page? I'll admit, most can be sorted out, but I can point out voluminous posts of me admitting laziness.
"An old fuzzy photo showing British manoeuvres around the peninsula."
Fuzzy taking photos? How old WAS he? lol
Looks to be a smashing time by all!

right!
Output pipe is smallish, an old mac mini sitting on a shelf at home... ships are indeed PMC.
Buildings are from various makers, I will sort out with my club mates and write a post.
For you lazy friends, translation is coming!!
The Fuzzy himself was a disguised italian photographer, about my age.. ;)

Tis a good thing I left the browser tab with your blog up; hate to think I distressed a worthy old Mac by repeated view/downloads. lol
And it would have been 'distressing'. All work day, I've been coming back to look at more amphibious goodness!
Truth be told, I've a few of the PMC craft, but they wait me deciding how I'm going to assemble with rare earth magnets. They are really lovely, but I don't think bear TOO close examination for logical placement of doors/stacks/gratings/etc. ;->=

Superb, sir! :-* Inspiring eye-candy all round. :)

Agreed. I have 3 of them now and I think they need some modification to be gamable pieces.

Ciao Stefano e benvenuto sul Forum,
avevo riconosciuto il comandante delle Forze Egiziane lol
come stai ?
sono Piero.
sorry friends , but Stefanov is an old friends of mine, we were not in touch since long time. :)
-
Great looking game well done!
-
ciao Piero,
che piacere sentirti!
I am happy that we still share common interest. We had wonderful Colonial games long ago.
I remember the Paddy Griffith rules that were so enjoyable.
Anybody in the forum has ever played them?
Teniamoci in contatto, io saro' in vacanza fino a settembre. Fammi sapere in qualche modo
quale e' il tuo telefono o email.
a presto! Stefano

I mostly play VSF, and so have a heavy 'suspension of disbelief' AND of reality checks. ;->=
Still, need the occasional breath of you realists lest I fall into the full-blown heresy of 'steampunk'.
However, even the wackiest will pause given the choice of a smokestack plunging a roof directly inside a door or the open bridge...

Have only seen them referenced to, but they are quite obviously well-loved and remembered by some.

Hi Doug,
I also play VSF, you will see Smokestacks puffing smoke in the Mars Canals very soon!
You are right about the suspension of disbelief, but I suggest you to buy these lovely steamboats,
they have good prices and meant for war gamers. Pieces are loose and they sometime end up where you don't expect.
have a look at PMC on ebay, I hope they sell well so they will make new models for me!!!
cheers

No, no, no. I already HAVE several! Just haven't figured how I will put them together for use. ;->=
I want to use magnets to make them easy to break down for storage and movement. I'm just having trouble working out which configuration is least jarring. lol
Even after shippage to the US, and rather difficult process of communication, the prices ARE impressive!
