I am crossing the Thames and heading onto deepest darkest Kent this weekend. But I don't think I'll need my Pith Helmet and Elephant Gun for what I have planned. Lions, Elephants, Rhinos, even Locusts are safe from me because the kind of violence I have planned is small scale and simulated only. Tomorrow the Rejects will be gathering for a bit of Franco-Prussian action. I'm not sure what rules we will be using, but given my dubious tactical track record I doubt if it will make any difference! I have an uncanny knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of defeat (you read it right).
On Sunday I'm hoping to meet up with my Brother-in-Law to discuss the next build project for our respective Flames of War armies. Our core forces are pretty much finished so its just the divisional support platoons that needs to be decided upon. As always I'll be there camera in hand so expect a few photo's next week.
Well, I hope your game will go ahead but thanks to you, I've just learnt what a Pith Helmet is. I didn't they were called like this.They feature heavily in my all time favorite illustrator (Moebius). Lots of colonial characters wearing pith helmets in his work...

ReplyDeleteThe rules are called "They Died for Glory" and they're a great fun set of rules. Unfortunately like the Oirish said I won't be there :0(
