The Lost Payroll of the Beckmanntruppe

[Plynkes]

Our first try at T&T. Sorry for the delay, chaps, I've had the game almost since it came out. Just like the bureaucracy of Austria-Hungary, things move slowly here:

Lovely story Poly

Really taken by this set of rules that have been used by many a nice folk here on this forum.

God Bless

Helen

By the way, the Kaiserin Helena was named in honour of your good self, Helen.

Not that I'm implying that you're a washed-up old boat or anything   , just that it's a little tradition of mine to sometimes name people and things in my reports after fellow Lead Adventurers and other online virtual chums.

Glad you liked it.

[Helen]

I thought so

Thanks Poly

Yay! Another Plynkes report!

Okay, I read the whole report. Another humdinger of a report, too! I particularly like the scatter of the mortar working out in your favor. Mortars never go in my favor, even though theoretically it should happen at some point.

We really have to test T&T out. If Illumisar hadn't booked the next game night I'm afraid I'd have to insist on running these.

"... A laminating machine! I love the smell of lamination in the morning. Smells like victory..."

Thank you for a great report Sir. It was fun to  read. And thank you as well for the review.

Does Sickly need new dice ?

Cheers
Björn

Finally! Really enjoyed the reading, Dylan, I just have to hire you for writing of my reports  :mrgreen:

A new Plynkes' battle reports should be an item in New York Times Sunday Book Review.

Great fun, excellent looking game.

[Vanvlak]

Stunning! Simply stunning. Bet those 1st prize rogues made off with the cash themselves...
And Mr. Plynkes, I viewed the travelogue and regret to report I split my sides. Especially over that famous painting,
The argument over the restaurant bill.

Oh, and I DID listen to the music in its entirety too.

[Plynkes]

Thanks, fellas.

Björn, he used the same dice as me. The only difference was that I, like an old lady playing Monopoly, was using an aged wooden dice shaker. He prefers to roll the dice out of his hands like some kind of high roller at the craps tables in Vegas.

So I think the Juju must be in the shaker.

A new Plynkes' battle reports should be an item in New York Times Sunday Book Review.

I have forwarded this suggestion on to the Times Editorial Office.

Very Nice
Congratulations.
Very much inspring.
I am waiting for my T&T copy in order to test it myself.

Great stuff.

Did Lady Emma Hamilton really say that? :wink:

Spiffing report and photographs as always old chap. Like the white flag to denote the pinned chappies, I shall unashamedly steal that idea.
