Glad to see you got round to another game at last! On your recommendation I bought the 'Sword and Flame' rules and thoroughly enjoy them, all my games have been close and exciting. My 6 year old son played a game last week and manfully marched his British across the table towards safety, while the Beja hordes swept round on all sides. Great fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33102303.post-64834368901851558102009-12-26T11:59:34.590+00:002009-12-26T11:59:34.590+00:00I just found your blog. A good report.

One thing about TSATF is that use of terrain really reduces the effect of fire.<br /><br />Another trick that some like to use is to "recycle" dead or routed native units if you don't have sufficient numbers.<br /><br />Most TSATF battles I've fought have been fairly close-run affairs . . . I hope that you get a chance to finish the next fight.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33102303.post-86619405558627522452009-12-20T15:46:51.255+00:002009-12-20T15:46:51.255+00:00Thanks.

Have you ever considered the rules published by the Too Fat Lardies, called They dont like it up em, published in one of their season specials (summer 08 I Think). They are written for the Sudan wars and give a fast and furious game with at the same time feel right.Suchethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585029649324210649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33102303.post-39319086127639529502009-10-01T09:04:41.514+01:002009-10-01T09:04:41.514+01:00Very Nice!

To begin with I was disapointed a little with firing, thought the chances of hitting were far to harsh, however after some hand to hand combat it seemed about right. The british in line formation and some nice dice, certainly helped me out. <br />As you say, we need to position the fort more evenly so you can surround the fort more evenly. Maybe we need to add a random factor to where you arrive from.<br /><br />Im certainly looking forward to the second game, we should be able to move swiftly through it. Id quite like to get some more buildings and terrain, so the Fuzzies can really sneak up on.<br /><br />All in all a nice succcess, minis looked great and the terrain wasnt to bad either. Whod of thought a bag of cake palm trees would come in so usefull :)<br /><br />till the next battleKeithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314068699244733543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33102303.post-75208529374245919042009-09-17T12:40:11.442+01:002009-09-17T12:40:11.442+01:00Brilliant - good to see your figures on the wargam...Brilliant - good to see your figures on the wargaming table.. nice fort indeed!Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33102303.post-42715015369485978732009-09-16T23:44:13.660+01:002009-09-16T23:44:13.660+01:00A game excellent I must get playing, our games sho...A game excellent I must get playing, our games shop has changed hands in canterbury...promising more historical figures and wargames evenings ...I might have a club soon within 3 miles hurrah!
