I'm a big fan of Indostan and the aar's but still struggle with the Sharpe practice rules I'm afraid.Nevertheless I'm interested in finding out whatever happened to Captain Chase and Sgt Nobbs,struck down with a severe Case of prickly heat,eaten by a tiger or career redirected by a tulwar blow,anyone out there know ?

Cracking stuff Frank, glad to see you returning to Indostan. (As you know these were my inspiration to use SP for my Texas games.) can't wait to see some more scenarios.

And ditto, I would love to see some more of your Texas too Nick! Although Apaches seem to be the thing now.

We were meant to wrap up Captain Chase's fate and that of his good friend Nobbs before moving on, but now it is anyone's guess. Perhaps he has sold his services to a nawab or worse still to the French!

Chase featured in his own series of games while we were still testing out Sharp Practice. My favorite one was Chase's Rockets.

A couple of more things for Indostan, in particular a scratchbuilt palanquin with removable bearers, which has been on my to do list for ages, and a Front Rank ammunition wagon. More waffle on the blog.

We will think strongly about returning Chase somehow now, problem is they both used the same miniature!

The next installment in the Indostan Campaign is on the blog - "The Bandits of Putpari"

I've changed the format a bit to from lengthy text AAR, to lengthy "comic-book" style AAR. I think the new format is easier to peruse.

Can't repeat it all here, but here are a few teaser images:
