Ram ram Husoors,
The following AAR shows Juergen's colorful and wonderfully clever game at the recent SYWA Assn. Weekend.

Love this picture. I think it would be fun to see modern artillery adorned, in OD of course, such as this.

Bill thanx for running the game and posting these pictures and comments. The French always seem to win on the last turn. The Palm trees I make out of dried Flower Stems ,you can make them any length,and replace the tops w/plastic Palms from Birthday cake decoration supply stores. glue on the tops paint the bases and flock,also spray the palms to dull them.Its cheap easy and looks good.I also want to thank Ken Bunger for all his efforts and rules,India Syw is a riot,looks like Disney went to war. The dried flower is called "Golden Yarrow",if you leave the tops on spray them green and use as high canopy trees,and if they break off after 12yrs or so ,replace w/ palm tops.For elephant grass I use plastic aquarium plants paint and base. The bottle palms I procured on E-bay thru some Hong Kong company cheap and quick delivery. Again thanx to all who played and Ken and Bill for putting it on,and thanx Bill for the delightful narrative…..you should of been in pictures.

Well this is going to change the timeline somewhat. Where will they run and will they be back? Vive le Roi!

Now, thats a pretty awesome cannon. Does its fearful looks give it an extra "terminator" modifier?
I want one of those.

Though, the gunners seem to have spend all of their time in the Gym. They should be lousy with hitting a target, I guess. Drop this "terminator" modifier idea.

Cheers,
Christian

P.S. Very nice figures. Great paint work. I can imagine your games are very colorful and stylish.

They are lousy gunners ,they shoot every other turn.They would mix the powder charges per shot.The rulers loved big guns though.The camp followers all had to carry powder or shot w/ them.The guns were all show no go,but they are cool looking.

JUST TO MENTION AGAIN Keep a look-out for 4 (24 each) units of 28mm Sepoys. Someone stole a box of them at the convention in South Bend (28 March). It could easily have been a non-wargamer.
