As presented at this years Vapnartak show in York, in a giant sweat box of a corner of the racecourse.  Added to the tension.  And the smells….   Rules are, naturlich, Setting the East Ablaze, 2nd edition.

Set on the disputed Manchurian frontier in 1926, following the withdrawal of the Japanese, Warlord Chinese and Bolsheviks battle it out for control of this vital junction.  Think Dien Bien Phu, with the Reds as the French.  Cracking game.  Chinese victory in the end.
"...and as always, we are dealing with strange forces far beyond our comprehension...."

All limitations are self imposed.  Work hard and dream big.

Thanks fella.  I've been slacking the last few years, not in gaming, but in posting.  Lots more to come

twas a grand looking game. as ever.
But a tad on the warm side and a rather unexpected location.

When you weren't loitering in your normal space (conveniently between Caliver and Dave Thomas) I wondered if you were absent.

Wonderful as always but missing the Kriegspieler's signature mountain terrain. I assume that der Baron, in an alcoholic haze, managed to lose it or perhaps was rolled by a fierce group of girlscouts!
Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

Fu is not surprised and had predicted this. Still most assumptions will turn out to be incorrect.
