SP2 in the Basement

[Belisarius]

The Basementeer's played their first game of Sharp Practice 2 , an infantry affair set in the Peninsula War. I,m sure we got some small things wrong but overall the game swung along at a fast pace and we'll certainly be returning to it on future Tuesday nights . The possibilities of a British Naval landing party tackling Arab Slavers is forming at the back of my mind.  Pics to follow.....

Great looking game, really like that scenery set.

I agree, the vignettes and little dioramas always bring the gaming table to life. I always like to see civilians in one form or another somewhere amidst the battle scenes

Thanks guys , i agree about the civilians and vignettes they set the scene for the bigger story.

Great looking game - does SP2 play as well as the original?

They do help convey the misery so well.....

That's a very atmospheric table set up. The little details really make it.

I'd say SP2 plays significantly better than the original. Less fiddly stuff, more interesting tactical decision making.

What a delightful set up encapsulating the war in the Peninsular. Really like the buildings.

Wonderful photos.
Figures, buildings and all the little extras,
make a great looking game.

Thanks again Guys, I,m reluctant to give an opinion arter only one game but I can say that it plays differently from the original . There are a lot of subtleties in the rules which will take us a while to get familiar with. There are four videos on You Tube posted by the Lardies to aid gamers.

Can you advise as to the figure used for the hanged man?
