Oh man.  We haven't played Fields of Honor in years.  Used to play it with some regularity.

Nice looking battle.  But I couldn't tell - who won?

[Old Contemptable]

We decided that the game was a draw. Although the Boers didn't quite do as well as they did historically.

Great looking train!

Thanks, I never painted a train or tracks before and I was please by the way it turned out. There are not a lot of color photos of armored trains in South Africa, in fact I couldn't find any. The second train is based on a train in a South African museum.

Just substitute Mafeking for Clarksville.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Nice one. I really love Fields of Honour, and using the orders rules and having to send messengers all over the shop to change them is heaps of fun. Can lead to some Balaclava style eff-ups, which, when it is only toy soldiers, is hilarious.
