Fruits Of My Labours .


I've been battling on with my re-basing of my Indian Mutiny figures and have got enough done for a game . Here we see a British attack on a Mutineer held village .


Mutinous Sepoys and guns man a wall .


The attacking British force - Artillery battery nearest the camera then loyal Madras Sepoys , Highlanders and Royal Horse Artillery . The alongside the officers are a home made markers to signify their Staff Rating .


The British C in C's command base - unnamed as yet - I hope he is aware that the regiment behind him looks like it is about to open fire !.


The Indian Commander watches as a regiment of Sepoys moves up into position . There is always the temptation (which I have resisted up till now) to dip into the local Indian restaurant take away menu for names of Indian generals and villages ie the village of Rogan Josh etc . Unfortunately my camera battery ran out of power so I was unable to record the actual battle , which was a narrow win for the British. Getting these figures onto the table has spurred me on to get the rest of the collection re-based .

  1. They look wonderful, sir. I look forward to more photos in the future.

    By the way, I always change my re-chargeable batteries just before a game. I also (very important) add the following to the "end of turn" in the list of game sequence . . . TAKE PHOTOS . . . but sadly while it helps I still often forget . . . *sigh*.

    1. I'm very bad at taking 'in action' photos during a game - I get carried away with the excitement !, Tony

  2. Nice layout and interesting looking game. Too bad about the camera batteries. Is this project using Foundry 25mm figures?
