Teaser: Retreat from Moscow project
« on: 08 October 2013, 11:53:26 PM »
Card based skirmish.... Inspired by an article in The Courier "Happy Little Rear Guard." Some of the landmarks......

6 clubs: You find a dead horse, D6 times number of turns to strip the dead animal.  +1 to morale


J spades: You encounter a broken down wagon filled with frozen men. -1 to morale


Q hearts: You encounter a cart filled with goods.  Roll a D20 on the Search, Salvage, and Savage table.


My first attempt at painting Nappys, and using snow flock. Wife says not enough color!!! Still have 3 more wagons to go.... suggestions?

I like them too. Just looking at them makes me feel cold, but that's a good thing, given the subject matter!

Don't listen to your wife, those pieces look terrific, exactly the washed out colours required for frozen corpses.
