There are 5 in total they include a photograph of a portly chap sat on a stool in Middle Eastern clothing, this looks like a certain members profile photo but I cannot remember which one. There's also an image of a large green block with white eyes and a red tongue. Another image of what looks like a Circuit board diagram again the green block appears without eyes and tongue and finally a partial photograph of the game  down the left side of one of the entry's.
Never seen anything like this on here before and I swear I'm not abusing any substances lol.

Excellent! A good old British frontal assault, non of that swinging around and taking them in the rear.
And absolutely no fisting, thank god!  :D

I wouldn't put it past De'Ath either, after his antics with the prisoners in the VBCW game.
 :o :o


I still maintain that was a legitimate tactic, not entirely my fault that the negotiations went bad!  lol lol

Sounds like my profile unless there's an imposter!!!!....but I'm not seeing it other than where it's supposed to be!

I'd lay off painting for a while til whatever you're on wears off! Mind you I haven't updated the software in my iPad either ...eek

Back to the game.....

IIRC most of them are converted Victrix Napoleonic British Infantry (plastic). Converted and painted by Captain Blood, right?
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://tistaminis.com/

I do believe that the variant Kill-Zone rules were last seen on the back of a cigar box in the possession of Captain Blood as he was led to the scaffold, whereas the Little Lead Adventures are being finalised by Dr De'Ath and should be available soon (ish).

I could be wrong on one or both points, though.... ::)

Well done Nick - good battle report (I can't believe you've picked up this ghastly 'AAR' jargon too...  ::))
;)

Didn't realise Dr De'Ath had snapped so many piccies. What a good chap. Nice work.

We should point out that this was the first game we played. The second game was rather different (although the Navy won on both occasions). Good fun, and an unusual setting anyway.

No, but I can email you a set if you care to PM me your email address...

Yes. You can see the 'FCT-P-AAR' ('force construction thread pre-After-Action-Report') here... http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=40047.0

I get that all the time on my iPad. It's something to do with Safari, cookies, and images from certain sites getting scrambled into all the wrong places the next time you go back to that site. Only seems to happen on some sites though. Happens for me very occasionally here on LAF. Happens all the time with the Guardian site. Results in some very interesting and arresting juxtapositions of images and headlines!  :D
As James says, you just need to go into Safari settings and clear cookies. That'll cure it.
Until the next time...
