Phil, unfortunately, Dave's reinforcements got lost playing Hyde and Sikh!!!

Excellent day and game with first-class figures on outstanding scenery and a superb host. 

The only thing you failed to mention was my 4x6s as a saving throw, odds 0f 1,296-1!!

They are the old Ian Weekley Battleground foam range. In resin now from JR. Carried by Magister Millitum I think. Mine are the 15mm ones, the 28mm ones are a different style.

A little late in seeing this, but I'll echo what everyone else said: extraordinary stuff, and it looks as though a lot of fun was had by all. Sorry for the silly question, but were you using your own rules? (Can't remember the name of them...)

Thank you for sharing the report!

Naturally I remembered the name as soon as I'd posted the question and walked away. Thank you, though! Looking forward to seeing Part II...
