There is a full (but short) Battle report over on my blog, and if you scroll down a bit there is more peninsular war stuff on my blog.

Nice little game 8)
The board turned out really well also :) Great idea for a lack of space table.
cheers

Great looking game.
Goes to show that you don't need lots of figures to have a fun game.
Good idea with your board.
-
SDS... I think I have it, somewhere. I should get somethng going - especially as I'm slowly preparing my ancient Flintloque set for some action - I could use the same buildings and scenery, carts and stuff for both...
-
A very nice report. I really nice the paint work of your sailors, well done.
-
Lovely stuff Rob, and the table a stroke of genius!!
-
Great battle reports.
Who makes the sailors if I may ask?
-
They look similar to my Redoubt sailors but I also have the Brigade Games sailors, which are outstanding.
-
The sailors are all by brigade games- they are Paul Hicks sculpts and are lovely. The ones with Swords and Muskets (without bayonets) are Empress Miniatures form their New Zealand Wars range (also Paul Hicks work and so 100% compatible)
-
That shack with the orange trees is fantastic. Love the details. The corner where the stucco broke away, Oranges in the tree, broken wall, and the cart tracks in the road. Amazing stuff.
-
Great terrain and a clever idea with the pasting table! They have gone up a bit since I last bought one. Mine cost about 8 quid.....
-
What list or converted list did you use for the sailors?
I have the rules but i have no list for the sailors/royal marines?
On your blog you have the profiles for the sailors but where did you get them?
Transforming from the english profiles list?
I would like to try the rules and i would like to use for the War of 1812 and Napoleonic peninsula.
-
Excellent stuff, I really like the way you made the board. :)
-
Great looking game board, terrain, figures and AAR. Thanks for sharing.

I just made them up from what seemed sensible and by what the figures I had painted were equipped with. I used the App available from Genisha Games to calculate the points values. If you don't have a Ipad or similar you can use this website... http://www.ganeshagames.net/extra_info_pages.php?pages_id=17

Many thanks for the info.
I will try the Ganesha points calculator.
I will use americans and brittish sailors and probably end up painting some french.
At the end of august i will have a game and then i will post a kind of AAR possibly with pics.
-
I made a game of SDS and its lovelly and simple.
I played with french against brittish, roughly 12 figures per side (unfortunately no pics).
I can only recomend them.
-
Glad you liked it. I think it is very slick and fun. My son thinks it is his favourite rules system.
-
Most importantly its umpredictable.
You can do some smart movements and be ready to finish your oponent and then you have bad luck with the actions and the action turns the oposite side.
It also allows to field small forces without spending much money.
-
Just dug out my own copy from the old hard drive. I should get a couple of figs and get some games running... :)
-
What an excellent set up; complete and compact- just right for a skirmish game.
I need to return to my own Napoleonic skirmishing soon I think. Inspirational stuff!
-
thanks for the comments everyone...I am honoured if I can inspire Matakashi, as his work is a constant source of inspiration to me.
