we usually use a 2x3 board for JDMG and paper buildings and army man barbed wire fences and sand bags. (as well as a few old film prop buildings I have from an old movie I made.) Because they are not delicate you can set em up pretty fast.

another option would be to do act 1 along the long axis and act 2 across the short axis of the board. Gives you 2 games with one setup.

We're gaming on a 3x3 at the moment.

My Plant/Gantry Bridge etc arrived today from Tablescape  :D

And finally,  a bit of muscle; Punks with Clubs, to add to the Cabal.

I can now put out the Demonic Cabal that I had in mind for 500pts. I'll post the list later Drooges ...

I can't remember the name of this character from the film.

Apologies for the quality of the photos. Using the camera on the tablet, which is easy to post, but they're not the best

most excellent droogs and perfect for JD
Thanks fella.

My revised 500pt list for the Demonic Cabal:

● Grand Warlock* - Level 2 Hero/PSI 6. Talents: Ectoplasmic Shield/ Attack and Shroud of the Dead
● 3 x Cabalists with Zip Guns
● 7 x unarmed Cabalists. "Mob"
● Minor Demonic Pact
●  4 x Punks with Clubs [Alex has a Heavy Club]

So, we're back to to "brown trousers and bicycle clips" when attempting the Summoning  lol

That looks much more balanced in smaller games and Judge friendly  ;)

Right,  with the possible exception of the Vatican City Judge,  I'm taking a break from painting JD and returning to other long neglected projects.

I shall be gaming JD of course and I'm itching to try out Scurv's suggestion of a 3 part Act, so I'll keep you posted.

I might also arrange a one-dayer competition,  I use the word loosely,  if there's enough interest.  I'll run a separate thread on that one, here and on WL.

Thanks guys for all your support on this. It's been fun.

Best, James

A competition sounds fun ... you Sheffield way arent you James? Within reach for me ... and I have judges, Sov Judges and city defence although only the free download rules ... and never actually used them ... but I could learn!

Hi Archie,

I'm in Nottingham although from South Yorkshire.

There's a couple of decent venues down here that could be used.

I'm thinking no more than 3 or 4 games and a large finale.

500pts, reset after each game. Probably no advances, to keep it simple, but I'll think about that.

Being on only nodding terms with the basic rules will be fine ...  :)

I'll PM you about the other stuff.

J
