Title: White Russians Race for a Town
Post by: Operator5 on March 17, 2010, 03:25:21 PM

Played another Back of Beyond game last night at the local store (Maplewood Hobbies).

One of the players took some photos.

One White Russian force and British Allies.

The British Firing Line outside the town.

The race is close!

The Cavalry arrive first and hold the wall.

Great looking game. It looks like lots of fun!

I like the look of MBA's buildings and really wanted to go with those rather than building my own. Unfortunately, when you work for beads and jello-cups, you often have more time than money. *L*

Thanks for sharing the pics!

It took me two years to collect all the buildings you see there. I love them and use them all the time. but if I needed to build a town right away, it would not be with them.

Neat! Where'd the Pagoda-like building come from?

The Pagoda Tower is a birdhouse I converted. You can see the thread on its construction here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=16723.0

The cavalry were painted by a fellow gamer in our group. He's a great painter and paints with German efficiency (so I hate him). :)

I was a bit doubtful about that birdhouse when I first saw that thread, but I must say it looks excellent on your game table. Well done.

I just need to figure out how to do some weathering on it. Then I think it would fit much better.

Your'e kidding right? after the buildings you and Wolf Girl produced. I would kill for any of those, they are superb.
