Ha ha! No it was Pizza night!

A great game as well with an unbiased account on the blog.  ;) The photo of the buildings aflame after dark looks particularly effective. :)

Very nice, Eric! Looks like a lot of fun. Those burning building markers, and the staging of the dark shot are genius!

I like the look of the burning markers.  Are they painted, extended and illuminated cotton with a battery and light in the base?  Please give a few details from the Shed.  Thanks.

Have to give the fire markers a try.
You can get 4 flashing lights from Poundland for guess what a £1.

If you had had fire water the Native forces might have not performed so well? ;)

Great looking game, very atmospheric photos  8)
