Stockade in the Early Americas

[Operator5]

Working on Among the War Parties and I've been messing aorund with getting terrain ready (still waiting for Pete's painted Native Americans to fill it out).

Anyway, thought I would post the test shot I took.

Looks good. I can almost see Indians(Native Americans)

Great looking table!

[Furt]

Nice blockhouse and trees! Looks like it will be a fun game.

Indeed trees and blockhouse look nice, but the red ground color really stands out : a very beautiful board.

Very nice

The miniatures which will appear in that scene are Conquest, and were painted by this forum's own tbroadwater and should be delivered to Rich this week. They'll also show up at Historicon this year for my demo game, which I suppose I ought to get around to writing. 

[Mad Doc Morris]

Might have missed that, but which rules will be used for this demo game?
Anyhow, a well designed table with nice scenery. I'm looking forward to see it 'in action'.

Among the War Parties, the Gloire expansion I believe. I have been salivating in anticipation for months. Unfortunately I am unable to attend Historicon even though the hostile tribes between Pittsburgh and Lancaster were cleared out!

[Mad Doc Morris]

I read that, but didn't even dare to ask. That's great news from Rattrap!

[Operator5]

Yup. Among the War Parties for Gloire will be used. Pete really captured the period with this book. I think it's my favorite for Gloire so far.

I really had fun writing War Parties - a bunch of stuff came together well for it, I think.

The Scenario at Historicon will involve at least Colonial Rangers, French Marines, Hurons, and Iroquois. I think I have two backup factions as well.

As I said, the painted miniatures will be done by tbroadwater (check out the Gothic Horror section here for stuff he's painted brilliantly), and my grandfather is preparing the board, which looks more and more like upstate New York as time goes by. We're moving in mid-June and there's no way I could have prepared all this in time for the show, and since everyone involved is doing such top-notch work I regret nothing (other than I wish I could do as much and as well as they have!)

Pictures will of course appear here after the fact.

Is there an on-line review that you know of for this? Reason I ask is that I have a whole heap of Conquest figures in the lead mountain and I'm dithering about rulesets. I was thinking either modified LOTR or Sharp Practice ...

I don't think there is because the book isn't out yet. Should be out in July. Rich submits review copies to various people, and in the past tabletopgamingnews.com (hi Pixelgeek!) has reviewed the books.

What would you like to know about the game?
