Very nice - love the cars above. What briefing/details if construction and rules were used in the foot bridge (and its demise)?

Really dig those racing cars! Tres cool!

Great report and photos, Rob, and I loved your cars as well but really, you've spent far too much time on the inconsequential scuffling at Foy instead of the far more important events at Strangford. Such as the valiant (although somewhat blurry) assault by Sir Gilbert Hill's Welsh gangsters Nationalists





Or the equally valorous and significant (and unfortunately also equally blurry) advance of the Ewyas Harold/Pontrilas Women’s Institute





Not to forget the decisive arrival of the much-feared Wormbridge, Abbey Dore and Pontrilas Morris side, seen here passing Sir Gilbert in his command wheelchair.


As for the "terrible cost" you mention, Sir Gilbert's forces achieved a commanding position in Strangford for the total cost of 2 casualties. Huzzah!

Great looking game, Rob.
Stunning eye-candy and a great time had by all, by the looks of it.

Gotta second the love for the cars.

@ Paul (Mason) - I can't believe you're not into VBCW yet...! It's made for you.

I have a nice photo of Doug's rather nasty Welsh boyos, with their SMG's. Lethal in close quarter battle, as the South Africans discovered.

If I recall correctly, I think Mason was doing a Very British Zombie Apocalypse, but it's fallen by the wayside, sadly.

Rob - a much better pic of my lads - thanks. I've edited mine down 'cos I was embarrassed by how bad they looked large size...!

It was a great day though, wasn't it? The game and then reading about it on your blog and Giles' and Jon's has spurred me to do a blog myself - if I can work out the nuts and bolts of doing it....

Ah it's easy peasy mate - sign up to Blogger or Wordpress and you're away (plus there are plenty of us bloggers around to offer advice!)

Looks great Doug...happy to share my thoughts on blogging at BLAM (I think you are coming?)

Very nice, love the use of houses too. Perhaps I should invest in a few to use across the many different games I play, while not VBCW urban they really suit the rural nicely!

You are right, Doug, and I most surely will at some point in the future as I have a lot of stuff to get started.
 

If I recall correctly, I think Mason was doing a Very British Zombie Apocalypse, but it's fallen by the wayside, sadly. 

It did in its original form, but we ended up incorperating it into our Strange Aeons campaign as a Black Dossier.
(That is a series of six linked adventures).
The results of which, including the six AAR's are in my SA thread and the story for that begins here:

Jon - I signed up to one of those ( can't remember which) 2 years ago and today I've resuscitated it - I'm just trying to find my way round all the bits and pieces which are supposed to make it easy to use but actually make it more complicated - I'm a pensioner, for heaven's sake....

Looks great Doug...happy to share my thoughts on blogging at BLAM (I think you are coming?)

Thank you Sir - look forward to your assistance....
