Title: Mongols With Mausers: The Ghost Market
Post by: Viper4Dan on 10 February 2013, 04:16:58 AM

Every March I run a few rounds of my "Mongols With Mausers" Back of Beyond game at the HotLead Convention in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. The subtext is "Battle, bluff or bribe your way to victory along the Silk Road in 1920's China". Inspired by a recent film, I'm working on a Ghost Market. As a work in progress, I'd like to share a few photos.

Lovely miniatures and terrain. I remember that old mini on the bridge (orange shirt/brown vest), he is an old preslotta Citadel "Buccaneer".

Great stuff,

Stavros:

The two grey ones with all the ropes on the outside are from the Steve Barber Models Mongols range. The other ones are from the Old Glory Cossack Wars range. Its nice to have a variety to avoid the "row housing" look to the village.

I've seen you put on Mongols with Mausers the past few years.
Always one of the more interesting looking games.
Maybe this year I'll give it a go.

Cool, didn't know OG made yurts. Might have a go at making some, reckon some of those little dessert pots for microwave puddings would make a good base...cover with layers of pva soaked paper towel and glued on string....shame my other
halfs on a diet  lol..........yes i am that cruel  :D
