"Building Rorkes Drift, still got tons to do, but I like it" Topic

still got hospital to modify from another building yet, and ordered more sand bags, so its going good

Recently watched a YouTube video on the grounds today, looking good so far

Very cool. I look forward to seeing the completed project.

I shall watch some more youtube, we did not have youtube when i was young.

I am having a good time building the project

I will be Quick and to the point. I just tried an attack with some standin figs, and these rules work, but unlike westerns where you roll for each man, with a big battle you roll and apply to any of your figs in alternate turns

3 green dice, and 3 Red

green = available actions
red = blocking actions of the green dice

roll green 1 = move,+ any other 1s = more moves
roll green 2 same as 1
roll 3 green climb 1 level
roll 4 defend and attack
roll 5 interact like reload, pickup, mount, etc….
roll 6 attack

roll red dice and matching numbers to green block them

this is generic, but i use it for westerns gunfights. I wanted paperless and no record keeping for an easy solo game, you can alter some of the above eg roll 5 to attack aswell

the brits were in cover, but if one gets killedm then the wall area is free to climb by zulus, so reserves need to move to block again. all the zulus were not in cover and attack in contact. in my small battle i got 4 brits dead, and 8 zulus but the zulus fled at 2 men. the rules worked great. these rules would be good for shows, learn in one min.

I always wondered where Rorke got his power from!

I bet they played dice.

Looks great, is that 28MM you're doing?

yes 28mm, the building was a real find
