Please tell me why are this brittish unit are censoured? Owner dont want to show the minis?

"Censored for LPL round 2" presumably means we'll get a much, much better look at them very soon, when the 2nd round of the Lead Painters Lead goes up.

You get bonus points in the LPL for having new figures, never before seen on LAF.

Hence the "Censored" tags, I guess.

Good Guess. They are my round 2 entry and I didn't want to break the rules. I managed to kill two birds with one stone by painting the unit for both this game and the LPL.

Gorgeous looking battle report, a great combination of well painted miniatures and beautiful terrain. It's wonderful to see the British finally turning against the tide of defeats on Atlantis, great to see a different perspective over on the Tea & Tiffin too.

@Mors. Is the big red Japanese walker a scrathbuild or does someone make it?

The walker is Ironclad, there was a similar one in the USA forces, presumably the Japanese poached the US designers ala 1970's British motorbike designers.
The suit is by Parroom.

Splendid report and entirely truthful (from the British perspective...

)

Well done to everyone for making the journey to Twickenham, especially Gamer Mac, (travelling form Scotland for one day)

It was a truly enjoyable and spectacular game and great to relive it via the medium of new fangled colour tinted images, not the sepia toned photographs we are used to.

Looks absoloutely corking.

I really must paint up some VSF stuff and join in one of these games.

What an amazing table, diversity of units and splendid battle report!

Appears when it counted... the Brits gave the Japanese a drubbing!

Hip, hip... Hooray!

Great looking battle chaps - especially as we get to see everyone's toys on the table at once.

@ Bullshot - Although it would probably have helped if the American Steam Walker wasn't stuck in reverse at the start of the battle.

Is that Dewies's Spider thing I can see hiding behind the hut?

Photo censored due to unpainted miniatures???

Red Orc · « **Reply #25 on:** March 01, 2010, 11:08:18 AM »

No, photo censored because he wants to show them first in the Lead Painters' League...

Or because Her Imperial Majesty's Department for the Promotion of Enlightenment didn't want anyone seeing what fearsome weapons - I mean, advanced instruments for spreading civilisation - they have; whichever you like.

Great looking battle guys, you've all done yourselves and the rest of us proud. Yet again I wish there was an 'applause' emoticon because that's absolutely marvellous.

Now PM me some details and we'll retro-fit it into the campaign...

I think it was because they were highlanders in Kilts and it was a very windy day

lots of meat and two veg flying about you see

Ah, of course. Not in front of the children, careful man you'll upset the horses, that sort of thing.

Very wise, and indeed decorous. Must keep up proper standards in front of the natives (and the bally Colonials/Germans), don't you know?

EDIT: just occured to me that you might have misinterpreted the phrase 'fearsome weapons' in my earlier post...

Great-looking game in all respects. I'm particularly interested in the various trees and greenery. The tall, slim trees with foliage on the top... what are those? Are they just long twigs with foliage added, or are they a commercial product, or something else entirely?

More photos welcome anytime. I need to quit my job so that I can pursue other genres. I'm sure my (pregnant) wife won't mind.

Im a little bit suprised how many censored photographs of the unit in question are, they were not on the table for very long , they even lasted less time than the B.R.A.S , one of the few Japanese plus points on a very sobering day.

The foundrys around Osaka Bay are even now working on new contraptions to foil the Western Imperialists adavance into Atlantis.
