It’s Big Ben! HUZZAAAAAA!
You can’t possibly go to lunch on a full butchering, it’s simple not done!! We are civilised here after all!
Anyone else put in mind of the dinner scene from ‘Carry On Up the Khyber’? ?
Its during the match that the butchering occurs. This is well known to Butcher players of Guid Ball. The only problem is the cleanup afterwards and making sales for one’s handiwork. I don’t know if there’s much in the way of selling the slaughtered remains here unless you go the route of Sweeney Todd… but it was Royal Marines that got featured in song.
What miniatures did you use?
a mix of Empress Miniatures for the metals and Warlord and Perry plastics for the British. All the Zulus are Warlords, because the Perry’s hadn’t made them when I started this madness a couple of years ago…*whispers* in fact the Perry’s hadn’t made the British either, I used Sudanese British but from a distance no one noticed they had the wrong canteens and helment covers 😉
I did notice ??
🙂
Putting BigBen and Gerry in the same room…seems like it’s either a banter match made in heaven or the universe’s gonna implode. I don’t care which one…great fun either case 😀
Was the butcher invited to lunch? Have the Yanks disappeared in disgust? Indeed have the lovely ladies turned vegan?
no, no but they had to go home, and definitely not. 😀
I wish I could have been there ?
aye it would have been fun, but next run out will have the tweaked rules ^^
I hope Men of Harlech was sung!
many, many times, ears bled….
If the Zulu’s had been Vampires you could have changed it to ‘Men of Garlick’
I’ll get my coat!
Super stuff, cant wait to see more
nice to see a game brake out between banter shots
So what was the result??? I had to shoot off to catch a plane home before you returned from lunch
a draw
Just what you were trying to avoid
doesn’t worry me too much, rules were changing and evolving in various turns so the result so good as was the dynamic. A full 12 turn game with the changes from the start may prove how much of a difference that makes mind you
So which one was Michael Caine?
?
in that picture, Ben and I’m Chard, it’s the clip where he gets wounded and Caine is calling for the stretcher bearers
I meant which mini. 😉
I use the holywood heroes set from Empress, so Michael Caine is played by Michael Caine and Stanley Baker by Stanley Baker. They are not offical, but everyone of the hollywood pack look as close to the actors as bedamned
New rules? Oh sure wait till I leave. How about a rule where a leader ahem Colour Sgt Bourne can regroup leaderless troops.
That makes since to me! ?
I’ll need to rework quite a bit there are some things that just don’t really take effect in the game or happen so rarely as to be worthless.. so I’ll see, I feel many traits may change for the british. But more on that once I’ve sorted out the Random Act of Kindness draw, which was delayed for two days because of Zulus from the North!
is it gonna get a re-release??? the the lovely extravaganza that is Horns of the Buffalo!!! please say yes, please, please, please
Gutted i couldn’t make it, alas the stars never aligned. Good to see so many managed too though
shame, some form of the game may appear in the not too distant future to be toured around 😉
I got butchered by Big Ben, he finally got bored of me taking pot shots at his men and sent his single blokes to have a word with me. Sadly they had so much built up sexual frustration that they proceeded to leap over the lovely striped sandbags and spear me to death. It’s wasn’t pretty I can tell ya!
Quite right. I make a point of never butchering on an empty stomach.
In all seriousness it was a grand time and we all truly appreciate all the work you put into it @avernos
“You don’t want lubch after a butchering” **nods** Sound rule to live by
What’s this then @avernos?
that’s me playing with the thing that is being produced before any silly space thing
😛
