Title: Māori and British do battle at ‘Call To Arms’
Post by: Arteis on 07 August 2016, 06:20:18 AM

I played my first game of Sharp Practice 2 today at the ‘Call To Arms' show in Wellington, NZ. It was a colonial New Zealand Wars game.

We had loads of scenery, but the game itself was a simple encounter battle that we played on the clearer half of the table.

The table and New Zealand setting received lots of really positive comments, too. As did the fabulous 3D printed Māori pa by printablescenery.com It was really nice to be able to present a game that reflected our own history for a change, rather than a setting in Europe or America.

As it was our first game of Sharp Practice 2, it's fair to say that we got lots wrong and were quite confused at times. But overall we enjoyed it.
