Title: Keen & the Pyrates - An Indostan Campaign AAR
Post by: Furt on January 09, 2013, 03:57:34 AM
Played another game in our Indostan Campaign before New Year's Eve, concerning some nasty pirates - so have put the AAR here for a change. Please find a very long winded AAR with heaps of photos on the blog http://adventuresinlead.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/keen-pyrates.html

Thanks to Christian for providing a great antagonist (and nice mini) for the game, Lieutenant Horatio "Bunny Wigglesworth".

Some teaser pics follow - thanks for looking

It certainly is long-winded - so I don't blame you in the least - but I'm trying a bit of a serial thingy here, in homage of sites like Red Shadow, General Pettigree and the Major General etc.

I might try and keep the words down next time - for my sake too  o_o

I certainly don't mind the length, it's just this time I didn't have time.

cheers

Yeah, I agree with Jim. The length isn't a problem :) Then again, a bit of a monologue from Lt. Wigglesworth wouldn't hurt either :)

You did good, mate. Can't wait 'til the next one...

Please by all means mate - I think everyone would love to hear Wigglesworth's version of events. There is room for a second telling.  ;)

There's always room for a second telling (especially if it's completely different from the first  :D )

Oh believe me - it would be VERY different. I'm sure Wigglesworth would see himself as the hero.  ::)

Here is Lieutenant Wigglesworth's Big Man card, for those interested in the quality traits of this gentleman. The miniature was nicely painted by Christian.
