Board looks terrific,I know there's a few additions to the board you're waiting to add so it'll be the dog's doodah's once completed.The scenario played well and I enjoyed both run throughs even though I lost both of them .
Sure to be popular when you roll this out at Blam18

Yep, really enjoyed today Gary, thanks for inviting us down it was a blast. Great terrain, great figures and great rules, it's what LAF's all about

[Malamute]

Sounds good to me, can't wait to give it a go.   

[guitarheroandy]

Looking very good indeed, especially with the figures on the table. Games sound fun too!!!

[Dr DeAth]

Looks like it's all come together perfectly

[Sunjester]

Fantastic stuff. looking at your game I can almost hear John Ford shouting "Cut!".

[Captain Blood]

Gary, that looks great. Glad you chaps had an enjoyable day’s wargaming 

[NurgleHH]

Wow, Gary,great. But it is only 8 month left, time is short. I think you should hurry a bit...

[Eric the Shed]

Looks fantastic - well done Sir

[Vagabond]

With the new layout I can only see part of the picture on the tablet, but what I can see looks fabulous. Well done it will be a treat for those attending BLAM.

I've just looked at the pictures on the lap top and they are excellent. I don't suppose you have an overall picture to show the full table, the ones you have put up are all quite tight shots.

The buttes tie in very well with the board, better than I thought they might.

    Still have 5 more scenarios with the appropriate figures and terrain to paint, so 8 months is perfect.

Thanks for the kind comments about my buttes.  I will try and post a couple of shots of the whole board later in the week.

Sounds good to me, can't wait to give it a go.   

Hope you will enjoy it.

Thanks chaps.  I think it is coming together now but still some work on the terrain boards to get it exactly how I want it.

Here are some shots of the whole board as requested.





My next scenario is based on the attack on Sudrose Wells stagecoach station portrayed in the film 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon'.  Sadly the film does not show the actual cabin, only the stock pens, so I have no real idea of what it looks like.

However I am going to base my Sudrose Wells on the Perry frontier cabin, suitably roughed up to represent the period, as I have a spare one that I painted up for the FIW but no longer use.

Pics of it in its old paint job.




I will be putting it on a base, re-painting it and adding some suitable implements to give it a bit of flavour (wheels and stuff).  The other elements will be a separate stock pen, suitable for the frontier, with some un-saddled horses, a well (because of the name)     and a classic style stage coach waiting to be harnessed.

What else might I add to give it the right flavour? 

Figures will be chosen from the Foundry Old West and Victorian ranges to fit in with the Cavalry and Indians. They will be classed as settlers with older firearms and some suitably awful stats.  Of course they will have the protection of the cabin and no doubt the cavalry will arrive in the nick of time. Or not.   

More to follow.

Well!!! This terrain is E-VO-CA-TI-VE 
And a well chosen scenario theme!
It will be a hit for sure! Cheers!
