Had a great day yesterday running an IHMN participation game at the Plymouth wargames show. The Return of the League of a Extraordinary Gentlemen went down really well and made quite a few converts. The scenario was to rescue Prof. Cavor from the clutches of Moriarty who was getting Cavor to create something horrendous, the Cavorite gun! Moriarty and the proffessor were protected by some local thugs and two squads of Sturm-Truppen with a prototype Kliene-Panzerkampfwagon I. I'm happy to report that the a Professor was rescued in each game but Moriarty escaped with a prototype Cavorite pistol on more than one occasion… Here's some pictures from the day- The field of battle
The LXG entered via the ford in the river. The LXG

Never would have thought of seeing LoEG as a minis game, so cool. |

One of my favorite movies. Would love to game this. |

Great feel! Tis the up-close-and-personal battle, for which I most admire IHMN. Nemo walking his 'different path' right where it will be most successful. One small concern: No Madame Harker? Doug Edit: FYI, my friend decided to field Lord Curr's man, Singh, with his Nemo company. Something to consider should you decide to up the firepower. ;->= Edit, part deux: Course, Mohan did some of his best work against Bad Jack with a naked blade… |

Liked the movie and love the idea for using it in a game !  |

Thanks chaps :) IHMN is a great set of rules for LXG games. I never included Madamme Harker as the characters needed to have a chance of being killed to add to the tension… ;o) Quartermain, Nemo, the invisible man, both versions of Moriarty, the thugs and Cavor are West Wind figures, Mr Hyde is a Heroclix Red Hulk, agent Sawyer is from Foundry's Wild West range, the Sturm-Truppen are Wargames Factory sci-fi trooper bodies with Warlord Zulu war British arms and West Wind weird war heads and backpacks with florist wire for breather tubes and the Kliene Panzerkampfwagon I is from Dystopian Legions. |

Excellent report, Mick, plenty of pics and not too much text. And a dashed fine looking farm… Doug |
