Title: Partizan - 221b Baker Street - Picture heavy word light
Post by: AndrewBeasley on September 19, 2011, 01:48:49 PM: Not sure how many of you follow my blog (http://www.blog.kings-sleep.me.uk) but I thought you may be interested to see the VSF / Holmes game laid out by Shaun from the Bunker as a filler game :o

I do have to apologise to Shaun - these do not do the work justice as they where shot hand held on my compact camera and you know how dark the back hall at Partizan is :-[

Must sort out a date to take the big camera with me...

It was only set up as a demo on the day but I understand its based on the 'old' 221B Baker Street game and you run around the board looking for things.

If Shaun is around would he care to explain more?

Post by: thebunkergames on September 20, 2011, 12:02:48 PM: Thanks for the kind words gents & thanks Andrew for posting.
The game is based on the board game 221b Baker Street with a wargame bolted on. The players try to solve the crime as in the board game, but Holmes style encounters get in their way - the wargame bit.
I have used several board game for inspiration/systems- Buccaneer is in the pipeline.
I hope that some of you gents will make your way to The Bunker & sample them first hand!
Regards

A note regarding scale-

Although the game is billed as 25/8mm, it contains elements of HO/OO, 1/72nd, 1/64th, 25mm,1/43rd, 1/32nd, 1/12th (Dolls House) & 1/1 (B & Q Wallpaper!)

Post by: Colonel Tubby on September 20, 2011, 08:04:41 PM: That's a fantastic board - and it was only a filler game! I'm in awe.

Love the idea of using 221B - I have fond memories of the original version.

At £2.50 from a charity shop the game was a must. The problem with any game involving a hero is that he is either far too good or just not good enough! By having Sherlock as a random card that helps the players the problem is negated. Adding random encounters such as Pickpockets/Tongs/London Peculiar etc gives the right feel to the game
