 lol
Is this analysis?

I prefer to set up this way sometimes for two reasons.
Firstly so that when we start the game there is not automatic 'fire corridors' rom one side of the table to the other, and secondly, becuse I like the way that it makes it look like the table is part of the 'bigger picture'.
 ;)




I have sorted out the pictures, I just need to upload them to photobucket and I will pop them up here later.
 :)

No matter how the game played, the table was a visual success...a BEAUTIFUL creation!

Clash at Dunliving!...M.O.O.S.(E)- Ministry of Occult Studies (England) UD:09/09

The Old West game for BLAM will be played with a more 'conventional' set-up, in order to fit all the needed buildings on to the table.
Most games I play will set up with more of an 'angle' on the set-up.
I prefer the look of it.

Speaking of the game......

The scenario was pretty straightforward, with the Cavalry and Texas Rangers hot on the trail of the Notorious Clump Gang.

They had chased them up into the mountains, both parties having to abandon their horses and continue on foot.

When the Clumps discovered that it was a small patrol and not a full troop of Cavalry that was pursuing them, they decided to stand and fight it out in the old deserted mining town of Dunliving.....


The shoot-out would take place in the main street, all that was left of the once thriving mining camp.






The Cavalry and Rangers quickly set up a hasty barricade to prevent the Outlaws from escaping.







Ma Clump quickly got into cover and ordered her Boys to prepare themselves to inflict a serious case of whoop-ass on the Lawmen...











A serious fire fight quickly followed, lead flying with a serious crescendo of noise to accompany it ( ;))......the whooping of the Clumps adding to the cacophony.











Of course, all the noise may have been the cause but maybe the formerly-living inhabitants of Dunliving would have come out to 'Howdy!' anyway.

Whatever the cause, come out to play they did....






They seemed to have had  a particular interest in the Brewery before they had departed this world and came out to introduce themselves to the Cavalry who were clustered around their barricade...






The Cavalry were not the only ones who were on the receiving a 'loving embrace' from the undead, however...the dead seemed to be everywhere!











The Lawmen seemed to suffer the worst of it, though, becoming overwhelmed with dead people...











The casualties inflicted by the walking dead turned out to be too much and the Cavalry were eventually taken out by the combined firepower of the Clumps and the close attentions of the zombies and were eventually destroyed, allowing the Clump Gang to escape and continue their murderous rampage.

That fella looks rather like the Prospector that I made recently...



He could pass for his brother, at least.

That's one fine town  :-*

You should be proud… I take it you will field yourself as a mayor or sheriff or reeve or such depending what setting is used?

I do not depict myself at all, to be honest.
The Creek is populated by LAF members but I am not one of them.

The Creepy Building...M.O.O.S.(E)- Ministry of Occult Studies (England) UD:09/09
« Reply #2724 on: 09 September 2014, 10:28:47 PM »
Oh, I forgot to mention, having had a couple of questions about it, that the building in the middle is not from my Old West town of Upsheet Creek but is the Undertakers that I built for Mordheim...



....it has already had more pictures posted of it on page 2 of this thread.
I think it works pretty well as a creepy ruined building for a Weird West setting too.

They never did find out what happened to Old Man Jenkins. There's some folks claim they've seen an old hunched figure wandering through the ruins late at night.

It's probably just Brain's mum!

The set up is looking great, really great

There is something about an undertaker's that is infinitely creepy whether intact or in ruins. That fills the bill nicely & will look good in a variety of settings. GREAT WORK!

That sure was one fun game Mason. The cavalry had the most of the zombie attack and beat lots in combat until they meet the big guy. he went and smashed my men one at a time till none were left. i only lost one man to the clumps gang. my leader took out a member of the clumps (the old women) with a pistol shot through the head. all-in-all good game, would play it again any time and the zombies made it for me (even if they did all spawn at my end of the board)

It has now made an appearance in three genres, so it is earning its keep.

Glad you enjoyed it, mate.
You did have a harder time of it than The B*stard, I must admit.
You put up a good showing, though, especially as those horrrible Clumps kept shooting you whilst you were trying to deal with the Undead.

If you are ever over this side of the pond, Mike, just let me know.
