Carronade test game.

Last night,instead of putting on a game,we play tested and agreed some alterations to my suggested game for Carronade,in May.
I had hinted last week what the game would be,and can now reveal that the consensus of opinion is that my proposed game would be ideal!!-hurrah('cos I have put alot of work into it!!)

This is the info. sheet,which is part of a bigger display,which will be on the end of the table....

This shows the whole display,including authentic,antique, Zulu weapons and shield.
The more observant will also have noticed a cassette player!!!!!!!!!
In the background is Rorke's Drift,manned by "B" company 2/24th foot.

Two shots of the RD model-no Zulus on the board,you'll have to wait until we play the game to see the massed Impis-spectacular!!

Top photo is a bit gruesome!,bottom photo is supposed to be Chard with bugler!
What we didn't know,until last night,was that Dave can play the Bugle,and treated us to "The Last Post",and he will be practicing "The Retreat" for the actual game!!!!

Dave brought along a couple of pieces he had received from "Last Valley"-custom made for him,to let us see-he had asked for the bridges to made to 80mm,to accomodate our bases,and the results are great.....................

Stone bridge(80mm wide)-will easily take our tanks and figures,without balancing them on the parapets of the bridge.

A "clever" wooden bridge-how is it "clever"??-well.................................

The bridge can be removed to show a "ford" or a straight river section-we are impressed!

Finally,Dave painted this lovely "vignette" for Paul-a piece of battlefield ephemera-Napoleonic.

Marvellous!!
We will be playing a 7YW game next Sunday-looking forward to that.
