Joris Belzin and his withe russians               played by Frank Bauer and Michele
The british side are
Chinese rebels                                         played by judge
British Agents                                          played by Green knight
British troopers                                         played by NurgelHH

all can get the Main victory points but all also have there secret victory points .
mostly aganst there mate´s .
The game lays for 8 turns and everyturn will be a event card .

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/2/6_21_12_08_4_08_28_2.JPG)

the chinese Warlords side win the Game because they have more of the buildings then the British side .
the Player who win the game was the Withe Russian because they get the Jade Buddha and the store house .
Also is to note that Hei No get killed and Wu will be the new ruler .
Some people says that they see Hack Man Zu carry Hei No out of the burning car but that is only a rumor......... ;)

After a Game with 6 players I must say that TaT is ideal for big Games as long as nobody get more then 5 troop cards .
The new vehicle rules are very good and also the rules for Flags and trumpets .

last ting sorry for the small pictures but I diden´t have enugh space in my member gallery  :'(

Thanks to all players .

Good lord! Apparently he was so excited by the game that he spontaneously grew a huge spiky afro! lol

Great report. Looks like you had a ton (metric or imperial, delete as applicable) of fun!

Outstanding. What everyone else said + Schäferhund!*


What's this about new vehicle rules? Does one need the Spanish book to get these?




*Extra points for including it in the report.

They are in the LoM Supplement.
You can still use the old vehicle rules.
The new rules are probably better suitable for straight historical gaming.
Cheers

Thanks Guys it means a lot to me when you like my report .

@Plynkes
the main thing is that they have convert the movement rules so you diden´t have to roll for movement for every singel car .
You now have speed levels.
Also they have include that better tanks are immune to small arms.
so a SMG can´t kill a pre 1930 tank or a big ww1 tank .
After that they have some pre generated cars and tanks ,better Airlane Rules and they clear a few of the unclear Rules from the main book.
Then they are a lot of SCW stuff but I think it can easy convent to other Armys .

The hole book is more a mag then a book I mean from the pages inside but it is more then worth to buy it and it is    popular-priced then other Rule-mags I have see
(maby the BoB or Darkest Africa rule sets )

hope that help you
