A Lost Lands battle report with a difference. The Twin Pines wolf pack go hunting: link

That sounds like it was a hoot to play! A nifty idea and wonderful report. By the way my icon heartily approves of it.

Yes, it was good fun – I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

Sorry, but the allusion to "my icon" is lost on me. I don't think you're referring to a small, religious painting…

Who makes the thylacines and proxy small horses?

The thylacines are from Steve Barber Models: stevebarbermodels.com . I don't think a direct link is possible with their website; look for "25mm Prehistoric Animals".

The small horses are actually 15mm mules. I can't remember which company off the top of my head, though there's plenty of choice. If I were doing them again, I think I'd go for 15mm horses rather than mules, though – they'd be a bit slimmer. I suspect that 12mm or 'N' gauge model railroad horses would also work well for representing small prehistoric breeds (just don't look too closely at the toes!)

Sorry, but the allusion to "my icon" is lost on me.

I was referring to the small picture to the left of gamertom. It's a picture of a 28mm black panther that came with some Amazons I bought and then had painted by a "professional" (who did do a wonderful job on both the panther and the Amazons). Anyway, since a panther is a predator…

> It's a picture of a 28mm black panther…

Of course – I get it now. The picture is small enough that I hadn't recognised it as a panther. My apologies to you and to your icon.

I really like the look of these rules, and your aar was superb! One question though, I want to play these with my six year old daughter and I think 28mm would be too small for her hands, do you think the rules could handle larger scales? I am guessing we would end up playing something around 54mm.

I really enjoyed the write up and the pics, good job!

> do you think the rules could handle larger scales?

I don't see why not. Either keep the distances and ranges from the original rulebook (and everything will be a bit foreshortened) or increase them to suit – perhaps 1.5x or 2x for 54mm. I've never been worried by the idea that a set of rules wouldn't work with a different scale of figures and terrain!

To help you in this, most significant increments of reaction or shooting distance in Adventures in the Lost Lands are either 6" or 12", though the move rates of animals are rated in 4" steps.

Great, thanks for the info. These rules along with Gutshot will be the core of my evil plan to get my youngest into wargaming [insert evil laugh here]. thumbs up
