"55 minutes in Peking" game at Partizan show

Here are a few pictures of the game we setup today at the Partizan show in Newark [England] All the figures and cannons, mdf buildings were from
https://victoriousminiatures.com
. The city wall was made by Dave at TM terrain. We invited a few people over the day to join in the game and all seemed to have fun, another great show from the Partizan team.
Next game even more figures and a new set of rules with event cards if all goes well.

Curious about the "new set of rules" since I'm working on my own Boxer Rebellion siege game - in 15 mm though. Looks good so far.

Thanks for the kind words, we plan to add more buildings to the setup to make it look more like a city.
At our next Demo game we hope to have over a hundred Boxers plus some Regular Chinese troops, against British marine light infantry, "Betsy" the international gun, a Colt machine gun with American marine crew, American marines [with Charlton Heston lookalike commander] also Chinese artillery will be present.
Working on the new rules that will have a deck of random event and command cards [still in the planning phase]. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Oh, to have stopped at 100 Boxers! It is to laugh. I have a few more than that to paint, by scores of scores. At least in 15 mm!
By title, you obviously know the old Staines game so not much help from me since that's where my rules suggestions would point. In the film, the raid on the supply dump/ammo dump was not a real event, just catering to an actor's ego. But that shouldn't stop you from making a side game of the event.

Interesting, you saying one of the actors demanded that scene in the flick?
And to stay on topic too - the scenery in this thread is really top notch.

Keith, some inspiration may be found in the random event cards produced by TVAG - The Virtual Armchair General made for The Sword And The Flame rules set. I faithfully use these rules and the various supplements for all my colonial gaming.
Cheers,
JB

If memory serves, it was David Niven whose character based on McDonald didn't have much to do in the film wanted something more so the director obliged.
I really need to get myself a DVD of that movie! My old VHS version is still around but not a player anymore.

The whole set-up looks great. If filling the open spaces with more buildings seems overwhelming, an easy solution is to add lots of rubble and burnt out buildings - easier to produce and much easier on the pocketbook, and true to life as well! Looking forward to seeing more!
