Title: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: Driscoles on 03 July 2008, 12:37:56 PM: Hi,

we played two colonial games at the weekend. We wanted to test new rules like formations, volley fire, flags, musicians, special units etc.

The figures we used are from Old Glory, Redoubt, Perries and Foundry ( Painted by Frank Becker, Knoxville and me ). The terrain, animals and innocent bystanders was shared by us three.

The first game we played was an attack on a small village and the second game was about a supply column comming under attack from an ambush.

We had lots of fun and I wanted to share the pictures with you. When I have the whole bunch I will make battle reports.

All pictures copyright by Frank Becker.
Cheers
Björn

Sorry, but it's still in an early phase of development. Maybe we'll do a closed beta test and invite you then... ;)

Post by: Poliorketes on 03 July 2008, 02:09:22 PM: Now that's a really huge game for T&T! Have you been satisfied with the rules so far?
Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: Driscoles on 03 July 2008, 02:17:14 PM: Thanks for the kind posts.

Maik, we are very happy with the rules so far. We currently work for some rules that make T+T more suitable for Colonial and Darkest Africa games.

The sudanese Units were pretty large. But the game was fluid and fast paced. We had breaks when we discovered new rules in some situations and had to discuss them.

One thing for example was splitting fire or turning a gun etc !

Tellus: youre welcome :)

Cheers
Björn

Sadly, only too true. However, as I had the pleasure of being able to be there for a few hours I at least saw all the minis. And they were just a total blast. Also nice to have met twon more members of the forum. Too bad I had to leave before the actual game started... Well, maybe next time....

Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: Driscoles on 04 July 2008, 10:19:08 AM: The problem with Displaced Miniatures is that it sometimes dont work. Just try again or come back later. I can see the pics now.
Cheers

Post by: 8?8 on 04 July 2008, 01:49:47 PM: I can´t see anything . Seems I have to come back later. I´m very intrested in the pics and the new rules.
Hope the report is coming soon.

Post by: Mad Doc Morris on 05 July 2008, 10:25:30 AM: Seems to be a permanent problem again.
Why not hosting the pics via www.photobucket.com? Tried several providers myself - this was the easiest and most reliable.

Where are those fields from?
Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: Driscoles on 05 July 2008, 02:40:41 PM: Model Train supply. Please ask Frank Becker for further details at the sweetwater forum.

Where did you get the plants in the foreground of the 'through the fields' picture?
Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: Driscoles on 06 July 2008, 07:36:54 AM: They are from a model train supply. I`ll ask Frank were he bought them.

Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: 8?8 on 08 July 2008, 06:14:25 PM: I came back and it was awesome!
Very nice minis and scenery. Are the Shiks from Coppelstone or the older ones from Wargames Foundry?
Best wishes and regards,
8´8
Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: Driscoles on 08 July 2008, 08:51:55 PM: They are from Wargames Foundrys Darkest Africa Range. I think Copplestone was the sculptor.
Foundry also has a North West Frontier Range of Shiks. I have them too but not painted yet.

Fly : Iam sure there will be a way someday !
Maybe when Hamburg plays in Bochum and you can get tickets ;D
Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: flytime on 15 July 2008, 05:11:35 PM: Maybe we should talk about that, I´m sure I could get tickets when Hamburg plays in Bochum, and a couple of wargamers would be here, too. :)

Post by: Ssendam on 02 June 2011, 11:29:08 AM: In the "Wave on Wave" picture is an item of scenery of ... well, pale straw coloured grass surrounded by green foliage ... how do you make those?
Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: Driscoles on 31 January 2012, 07:17:54 AM: Those are hairs from a brush glued into plastic Easter decoration. Than the whole thing is put onto a base.
Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: Ssendam on 15 February 2012, 02:17:06 PM: Cheers ...

Also, I don't suppose you have a unit list for the game? :)
Title: Re: T+T in the Sudan with pictures
Post by: Driscoles on 15 February 2012, 04:33:59 PM: A couple of weeks ago a guy emailed me and asked if I could write him a sample army list for the NWF. Do you need a list for the Sudan ?
If so PM me and I see what I can do...Thats what I call customers service.
Besides, sorry my answer for the plants took so long.
Cheers
