The Town of Upsheet (Wolf?) Creek: Captain Blood's Pics!..... UD:28/09

[Mason]

I have just read the article about Upsheet Creek in Wargames Illustrated Issue 331.

It was written after one of the WI staff came to BLAM'14 and saw the game.
He asked me to write a piece for the magazine about it when I bumped into him at SELWG the following day.

I am a little surprised that is pretty much exactly as I wrote it.
I cannot be too bad when it comes to writing these kind of things then.
Pretty chuffed with that.
 

There will be a couple of follow-up articles to come later in the year.

Thanks for letting me use them, sir.
Much appreciated.

Thanks for the mention to the blog Paul...always does my ego the world of good...

It is also a great article but I see you made no mention of 'fisting' - wonder why

I thought that you might like that bit.

The rules themselves will be in another article.
Lets see if they get edited.

I'll have to buy it and bask in the reflected glory of having been there! 

Well done mate.

You should, mate.
You do get credit where it is due.
 

I'll have to buy it and bask in the reflected glory of having been there! 

Well done mate.

Cheers, Steve.
It wouldn't have worked with just anyone being there.
You were all responsible for me enjoying the day as you all seemed to embrace the spirit that was intended.

That's wonderful Paul, very nice work

The creek certainly deserves the attention it receives.

Cheers
Matt.

Well done on the article Paul. I'll get a wee swatch at it in due course mate!

[Furt]

Congrats Paul - Upsheet is even MORE famous!

[Mason]

Thanks, chaps.
Much appreciated.
 

There will be another article in due course, but it wont be published for some time.
In the meantime, there are a last few things to do to finish things off at the Creek before BLAM this year.
Not a lot, but enough for me to consider things 'finished' so that I can move on to the next proper project.

I can't remember if Upsheet has got a printing press / newspaper building, if not it'd be a good edition to the town.




And yes that was an exceedingly poor joke but adding a news building could be fun

I have just read the article about Upsheet Creek in Wargames Illustrated Issue 331.

Ahh! That'd explain why I couldn't find the article in the Miniature Wargames I bought 

[pocoloco]

Congrats on the featured article Paul, need to check if I can find that magazine hereabouts 

Besides the printing press (which is very cool idea me thinks), did you already have a Chinese laundry? Prospector's office or whatcmacallit?

UC is such a big town it's starting to be difficult to remember everything you have build so far

[Bobble]

Just read your published piece,sir,and it is brilliant! Possible career change in the offing?
(Thanks for the mention  )

I echo all of the above.  Praise where praise is due.  Great article but an even better thread.  I occasionally go back over bits and have myself a chuckle.  Well done.
