GASLIGHT AAR: Rockets away!
« on: July 12, 2014, 04:22:59 PM »
With a German invasion looming, all coastal towns have been put on high alert. Particularly those towns with the newly installed Smedley-Smutt's patented Anti-Airship Rockets.
Little did the small village of Grumley's Tavern know, Fritz had landed via submersible a few miles down the coast and was planning to take out the new rockets.

Nice little AAR, and I'm impressed by your one day painting.

Nice set up.  An early attempt at blitzkrieg.

Sir Randall has been trying to get our assorted stalwarts together; alas, that hideous beast, Real Life(tm), thwarts his every turn.

One view of your blog will break his heart, I say...  ;)

Awesome beans, though it sounds like the defenders weren't properly supported. I feel a question in Parliament is due!

I predict a counter attack on the German Submersible works...

I've always been a fan of that Eureka tricycle-mounted cannon.  You've made it look great.

Well... normally I don't check out many blogs, but in this case I'm glad I did.

First rate painting, lovely board and an excellent scenario.

I have one of those rockets... one day I'll get it painted up.
