Tacos, Tortillas and Tequila. A Texas Rebellion AAR

[Rob Herrick]

A beautiful table! It's always a pleasure to see well painted minis with well painted terrain. Bravo!

How did you do the thatched roofs on the adobe houses?

The thatch is teddy bear fur, soaked in PVA.

Nick, your scenics are top notch

I love your terrain Nick. You're adobes are an inspiration. Your figure range is also fantastic. Think I'm going to have to buy a set or two to tempt me into this earlier period of the Anerican West.

Dear Malamute,
In my wargame clubs i don't find anybody who want's to play this period with me, so on several forums i'v asking how to play the
Sharp Practice rules solo? I found on blogs AAR of Sharp Practice solo, so do you know anybody who has played solo. I was wondering how to handle the other side? So if i play with the Texans how do i deal with the Mexicans on their turn?If anyone can help me, let me know.

Cheers,
Dirk

Hi Dirk. Sorry to hear you can't find an opponent.  

I don't know anyone who has played SP solo. But I don't think it will be difficult to organise. To get the best from the rules you need to have a clear scenario in mind for each game. Work out some objectives for each side and stick to those during the game.

The random order of play will dictate who moves and when. Each side will have a number of Big Men who will control one or more groups of figures or squads. The big men are represented by cards that are shuffled into a deck. The cards are drawn one at a time with each big man moving his group/squad when his card is drawn. So for a example a Texian Big Man is activated and takes his go then the next card drawn from the deck maybe a Mexican Big Man. If he is in range of the Texian who has just moved he may react to deal with him. Perhaps ordering his men to advance towards the Texian or fire or something specific to the scenario.

If yu go onto YouTube and search for the Toofatlardies they have several videos which explain the sequence of play in Sharp Practice. They should help you get the basic rules worked out.

Love the report! Your collection is lovely Malamute, and I envy you londoners have such a great access to such great games and terrain pieces
But I did spot a secret weapon smuggled from the future by the devious time-traveller Jim. Is it a sort of death ray the top left corner? Bloody cheeky I say!

[Marine0846]

It is always a treat to see your figures and terrain.
You got to love it, thanks for sharing.

[Silent Invader]

Yep, I played SP solo, much in the way that Nick describes.   

[Hummster]

Excellent figures there and nice paint jobs. Just resisting the temptation till the lead mountain comes down to a manageable size though.
