Ahh memories, those camel mounted troops did a lot of damage until they came up against the staff in a local cafe who gave them a bloody nose lol.

It took a complete year to put the whole thing together starting in early October 2014, although I had painted 15 figures for the LPL in Apr/May of that year.

Board, terrain pieces and miniatures (especially the arab miniatures which I absolutely adore); done in one year....

...that is absolutely awesome!

Really enjoyed the thread and certainly would have loved to have had the pleasure to play.

And a worthy achievement  8)

I know one really has to be there but the game looked to be one of the best I've seen in the pics :)

Thanks very much for the vote of confidence.

Agreed. Thanks for taking the pictures.  I was too busy durig the games to take my own.

Thanks for the compliment.

As a matter of fact I have.  I will be posting shortly on the Pikes, Muskets and Flouncy Shirts board with a thread entitled 'Drums along the Mohawk' which is one of my favourite films from the era.

Good man ;D

Great film by the way, it was on Flim4 not that long ago. I have fond memories of watching it many years ago and remember the scene vividly where the Indians set fire to Henry Fonda's farm and corn fields and the settlers fleeing to the fort. I can see a game here... ;)

I got to play this game. I had sgt Knocker who's mission was to capture the daughter of one of the Arabs who knew the location of a big shiny diamond. I also had to keep the sgt alive as a secondary mission. Oh and there was something about lifting a siege on a fort but that was a bit far away on the other side of the table

My forces with the sgt leading from the back!

The extent of my advance

My main objective

As far as I got after fighting off a whole lot of Calvary

There was something in my orders about lifting a siege here

Someone else managed it
Fun game Thanks Gary
