This was our annual project. We stage a demo game at our local show. The four of us paint, create & make for 12 months to produce these games. We used a modified version of The Sword & the Flame rules and easily finished the game in two days. |

Thanks everyone. John, if you're ever in Brisbane there's a place at our gaming table for you. @ ron: We tweaked the rules (no wounded for example) so it could be played with a 1000+ figures. TSATF is at heart a very fun rule set. Victory conditions gave the Brits a real shot which they capitalised on with excellent tactics. We've done this show 6 times & this year's game of the AZW got more attention then any other. Why? People knew the movie? ( we had Zulu playing on a screen at the back)
More interaction? (we had a chart with Zulu shield designs & got people/kids to find the regiment)
Hidden movement? (we had a box on the table's edge with a scaled down version of the table where we moved hidden Zulu units. The lid opened to show the punters but the British player couldn't see where we were). At any rate, loads of fun. |

Excllent, is that 1/72nd scale? |

Ochoin, Fantastic set-up!!!! We really like the "staggered" way the Zulu are based; really helps with movement and so much nicer than ordinary trays. Wish you were closer and we could game together. And bravo on capturing the essence of TSATF……it's always been about the cinematic aspect of our hobby. |
