Hi all.

Sorry I took so long to respond, but I have been having a break from all the madness this project inspired.

It really was great fun all weekend, although it did hurt to see newly painted figures killed off when I had such great plans for them.

Mr Peabody, I think we played at least something like 12 to 15 turns. I did not really keep track but used a d6 for each character as some of us (me) forget when we have moved a figure.

Arteis, thanks those are really good photos on your Blog. I'm glad to have inspired both you and Brian as I've admired some of the games you guys have put on in the past.

The Band was really painful to paint, as every time I thought of them or looked at them I heard "The night Boat to Cairo" tune going through my brain. When I named them the Los Palmos 7, then that tune went through my brain each time I looked at them. It seems to have stopped now I've started other projects.

I should mention that my mate Ray painted some really beautiful figures, chiefly the Cultists. He is going to write a report himself so I will either link that here or take some photos of his figures.

I have been inspired by WW1 now, but should really be painting some Zulus. I will see later what to concentrate on as soon as I have recovered from this.

Thanks Dan. Looking forward to your next project!

My parting comment to Ray while we were packing everything up was, "next year lets do some Gladiators", "just some Gladiators in a ring", "about 8 aside"'

Seriously though, I'm thinking of doing something to fit in with the Gallipoli Anniversary. I have plenty of Turks painted and a few in the Lead pile. I just need to get more Brits to paint up.

I wonder if they had a Band on the beach?

I did not get a chance to photograph anything last weekend as it was too dull to take photos and I was busy packing things away. I was also playing with some WW1 rules as I want to do some Western Front games later in 2018.

It sure was a terrific-looking game.

I took some photos of that table too, and posted them on my blog:

WOW! THANKS for the extra photos. That looks amazing!
