Thought I would get my 54mm out onto the tabletop again . This time it would be a battle to control the main road from Toieland to Wundareland between Army 'Pantalon Rouge' and Army 'Blue' ,.
In command of 'Army'Pantalon Rouge' is Col. Flashman (I do not have a suitable General for 'Pantalon Rouge' yet) and he has drawn a cameo apperance of a War Correspondent in the shape of Mr Kipling .
Army 'Blue' is commanded by Prince Rupert of Hentza and has a Sergeant Major as his cameo .
The left hand objective marker Mrs Miggins's Cottage .
The centre objective The home of Mr H.G. Wells
And on the extreme right a mysterious figure ! , whoever hold 2 of the 3 objectives at the end of the game is the winner.
The 'Blue' Army sets up and starts moving forward.
Unfortunately the Jaegers deploy early instead of rushing down the road, as the Infantry move up onto the ridge.
The Army 'Pantalon Rouge' finally get to move and the Zouaves advance to the hill.
Having 'crowned' the heights with their gun the Sailors from HMS Zenobia advance under the watchful gaze of their officer Captain 'Jolly' Rogers. Move of the battle as it unfolds .......
PS sad to say in a mega clean up of my computer I managed to delete and shred my stored photos of my TSATF Darkest Africa game .... Ooops !
Lovely Toys Tony; great to see them in action.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite collections I think.
DeleteGreat looking battle, the figures and the terrain and buildings are just cracking, really nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks , maxing out on the toy soldiers vibe.
DeleteThe table and figures look perfect, Tony! 54mm is truly the classic scale for a toy soldier battle! I hope that Mr. Wells plays some part in the coming conflict! I notice that he has no lady friend today, quite odd for our hero!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I believe his "lady friend" may be on holiday)
DeleteAre you sure that's 'Mr Kipling the correspondent' and not 'Mr Kipling the baker'? ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt's the family firm .
DeleteVery nice 54mm game there Tony- I particularly like your character figures and the Sailors. Well done. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThanks nice to get them on the table again.
DeleteGreat figures and a perfect set up for these rules and game. Looks like great fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks , AGW are one of my favourite sets of rules.
