Very cool stuff is there a colonial supplement to sharps? Anything to game Sudan, NWF, little wars, etc.?

Asking as you’ve based all these up for sharps and I just picked up that rule set.

Yes mate, John Savage wrote a very good supplement for the Sudan in last year's Lard Christmas Special.

Those Cape Mounted Rifles look great - but they don't look mounted!  :o lol. I know, I know, horse holders are there with the horses.  Just couldn't resist.

After all these years we have known each other, I can't believe you doubted me

"After all these years we have known each other, I can't believe you doubted me" <<< laughed out loud at this!  lol lol

Who needs an AAR with such sumptuous photos.  Love that terrain, especially the hills.  The only thing missing is a bit of wildlife - but no doubt scared off by all the weapons firing.

Excellent!

And on behalf of all the others who are going to watch - and get a kick out of your musical choice - I thank you.

Bc99, I’ve still got some copies of my Sharp Practice guide to the Cape Frontier Wars (see earlier threads for more information) if you’re looking at ways of refighting the Cape Wars using ‘Sharp Practice’

Oh, woe is me, feeling doubly embarrassed - not only are the mounted version alluded to above seen on the first page of this thread (I believe, pretty sure), I completely missed the antelope herd!  How dare I!!!   o_o.  And jealous, too.  Closest, so far, I've been able to find in 15 mm is the Irregular pronghorn antelopes for my African varied species - have plenty to paint at least as Tommies, Grant's, and Impalas - though those three were different in size and horns aren't right.  Sometimes we 'beggars' can't be choosy.  Until something better comes along...still hoping a certain (unnamed) supplier will release at least some.

Wow, sir, ever more amazing work from you.
