..Preliminary photos of my Falklands Island game. British defending  ,along w/ the New Bedford  Whalers.at The SYW CON. Opposed by GEN . Madriaga and Spain and Admiral Bougainville w/ Colonial French. First five turns were fog,penguins ,sheep ,secret landing w/WILD GEESE at wrong spot ,but mistaken at first for British..so ..funny.  I ran twice ,w/ random event cards .lots of fun and done in 2 hrs.This picture is of Brits at Port Egmont.

Great looking games. The mat works really well for terrain like the Falklands.

Talk about a niche scenario. Brilliant!

I think this is completely marvellous. I think the  long hibernation of my SYW French is about to end. They can blame you for their reawakening.

Thanx for all the kind comments,Ilove the Quirky little battles. Here is picture of British Sailors ,who rolled a natural 100 for Morale ,causing the Rule of"OLK" to be implemented.They had to charge the nearest enemy..(too much Rum probably)..and were gunned down.
