Title: Tlingit ambush the Russians
Post by: TWD on May 19, 2021, 07:27:48 PM
After a seven month hiatus back to wargaming face to face
Over to James' house for a Muskets and Tomahawks game using his Tlingit to ambush a peaceful Russian camp

The warriors paddle silently to shore

Then sneak up on the slumbering bears Russians

Fierce fighting continues

Cheers Tom! Nice to be able to game in person for the first time in ages.

I’ve realised that this was the first outing for the Tlingit, so they did well to win!

Excellent. I always praise those who break from the usual everyday wargaming eras and
do something more original.

An incredibly beautiful and evocative game.
Since I play alot of M&T,  I was wondering how you handled the elements of surprise,  the sleeping sentries and other Russians.
Did you simply "wake them up" on a particular turn?  Or did you roll dice for it?

thanks.

Beautiful figures AND table, and yes, nice to see non-traditional forces too.

Blimey it's over a year ago, so I really don't remember!
I'm sure James will know the details. I *think* all the scenario rules were in the article James wrote for WI at the time.

TWD-
I didn't know it was in WI.  Do you know which issue?

Thanks!

Impressed as all get out by the Tlingit stuff.  Offbeat, interesting and just plain cool.
Perhaps Jame's painting has something to do with it.

I agree - always cool to see the more off the beaten path periods! I ended up pledging to buy some Pacific Northwest figures from Paymaster Games' Kickstarter. First kickstarter I've ever backed, believe it or not...

Great looking game - I will check out the blog entry and MW issue.

Only just checked in, great to see that people are interested in the game even though it was over a year ago! I haven’t got the copy of WI in front of me and can’t remember how off hand how we triggered the sentries- it’s all in the article though.

I’m really busy with another project right now but hope to come back to this in the near future.  If you’re interested, there’s a full page on my blog about the project with loads of Tlingit and Russian pics.

Great work, thanks for the share, really enjoyed the AAR.

My next project is Tlingits, finished the 1805 Russian American Company to fight them in 'what if' battles...

That's great to hear - would be interested to see what models you're using for the RAC.  Here's mine, mostly converted from Galloping Major Minis.
