This thread is going to cover all the details of my preparation for the game which I will be presenting at this years BLAM in October.

The game is based on the famous abduction of Cynthia Anne Parker and the massacre of most of her family by Comanche warriors at Fort Parker, Texas in 1836. The John Ford film The Searchers was said to be inspired by this tragic incident.

The game will be played on a 6ftx4ft table and will comprise an area of rocks/buttes, a river, plenty of shrub/bushes and a homestead. I will use my existing terrain boards so no need to build new ones. I am currently building terrain features, organing the necessary figures and developing the rules using Dr De'Ath's Little Lead Adventures.

I have started building the rock/cliff/butte sections and have made three so far out of cork bark mounted on MDF. I still need to design and construct the homestead. This will include outlying buildings, corrals etc. It will not be my usual adobe style buildings, but a mud brick cabin.

Bugsda is painting the figures for me and has already completed half of the Comanche. I'm using the Comanche by Conquest Miniatures and the Texian settlers will come from my Boot Hill Miniatures range and other assorted Wild West figures.

Here are some teasers showing Bugsda's brilliant brushwork on some of the Comanche with the buttes as a backdrop.

Our first play test of the rules is tomorrow night, so expect to see some AAR photos later this week.

This looks like it's going to be spectacular. I admired those Comanche in the LPL so it will be great to see them in the lead.

A couple of teaser shots from last nights game. Sorry about the quality they were taken on a camera phone. I have lots of other images on my camera which I will download later.

The settlement at Walkers Crossing:

Tejano's go about their daily business unawares of the impending attack. (including Pablo the Ass

)

The Walker family take shelter in their corral, assisted by several Texas Rangers.

Sarah Walker making for the hills. The sole survivor?

Awesome looking game! This should be great.

Yes, Dr De'Ath will be posting them for all to abuse once we have tweaked them to death and rewritten them for him
