So, after gaming this I can say it was a great pleasure and the rules a worth to live on. I hope for more support of great escape games, not only promises. Richards Board is a gigantic miracle. Seeing it in reality means seeing the quality. Sometimes in this digital works internet can not show everything. I got a lot of new ideas for my boards. His desert feels so north africa, unbelievable. Looking forward to the next step and we talked about new ideas... Oh, it won't be the italians, I'm afraid. ;)

Haha. Thanks lads. I ran three good - and all very different - games on it, on the day. But alas, was so busy trying to keep each game moving and remember all the rules, that I neglected to take any pictures!

Once again I've bookmarked one of your threads Richard :-)
I'm working through a lot of Western Desert (and Syrian) theatre things right now and this is perfect inspiration.

BTW I can highly recommend the new Perry Dorchester model. Mine arrived today and it just ace - none of warping I've encountered on recent models and almost a diorama in itself. No idea what I'll use it for yet.

They did - they are sprinkled around in the relevant threads. Certainly for Ice Station Zebra and Malamute's Presidio / comanche game...

Keith, thanks :)
I may well add the Dorchester. It looks a lovely piece.
I really hope you will share some pics of your Vichy stuff here on the forum. From the couple you shared with me, they are absolutely awesome and deserve to be seen by as many people as possible.

Cheers.

Richard

The tiger was the only thing that could handle your amazingly lucky dice throwing

Now, this is not a board I normally post on, but I was lucky enough to play - Eric as my co commander with Gamer Mac and Green Knight as our opponents ...

Managed to get a few photos sorted out ...













The Tiger certainley made us rethink our tactics !

Thank you guys.

What was there to re-think?
Roll a lot of 6's on a D6 OR 9 and 10's on a D10 sounds like good tactics to me
