One of my mates has decided to game the great Emu War of 1932! A few miniatures and some terrain building later and we were set to battle the birds! With relaxed Covid19 restrictions we had a play test! Our piece of Western Australia…
The army ready for action…
Vic, by the truck watching Ray and Bert venturing into the bush…
Ray from the Pickering Brook gang warily avoiding some nasty local wildlife…
The full intro to "Through the fence and Defence…To the wheat fields beyond" is on the TSOG blog
link BTW do a search on Google for Emu Wars if you want details on how the Australian Army took on some flightless birds and lost 🤪… |

Absolutely no idea what this is about, but it looks like a bad day for the Emu's, however can I just say that board looks absolutely stunning!! |

Any psychologist could tell you this is the inevitable consequence of prolonged mass confinement. That's a very nice table. I presume the bonza scene-setting eucalypts are from the Murray Bridge blokes. The emus have the edge already: they'll laugh themslves silly at those bare legs*. British army practice and Aussie Gallipoli improvisations notwithstanding, shorts generally remained pre-adult wear globally – including in the Australian summer – until after WW2. The humiliation really should be a negative morale modifier for the humans. *Hypocritical, I know. |

Looking good I included an emu war army option in with my massed battle fantasy rules – I figured if they could operate against Europeans they could also fight dream-time Aborigines and extinct megafauna. David F Brown |

Never underestimate the morale effect of the "Imperial knee",,,, ;-) |

… and like surgery on the imperial knee, this 'campaign' was a 'joint' operation. |
