A Dark Shadow Gathers - Hereward Wargame Show
Andy Mac and I took our Dragon Rampant participation game to the Hereward wargame show today. We played it through twice, with the good (Elves of the Woodland Realm) and evil (Ratkin and the Chaotic Powers) sides winning one apiece. Both games played very differently, which is always a positive thing, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I was too busy umpiring to take many pics, but here are a few. Huge thanks to Andy Mac for taking the lead on organising the scenario and for doing lots of work on the scenery.

The Men Who Would Be Kings at Peterborough's Hereward Wargame Show
Please forgive the lateness of this post - it's been a fortnight since the show!!
Here are some pictures from the demo/participation game that Andy MacTaggart and I put on at the first ever Hereward Wargame Show in Peterborough on 1st November.
The scenario involved a standard 24pt field force of British infantry having just burned a rebellious Jalfrezi Pathan tribal village (sorry...very carry On Up The Khyber, I know!!), withdrawing back to their camp while being assailed by a 24pt Pathan force, supported by about 20 pts of reinforcements that entered the table in random places. To help the British, a 20pt relief force left the camp as soon as firing broke out or the 'hills came alive' with tribesmen. We played the game twice on the day with one British and one Pathan victory.
We took great care over the table set up, using new gaming mats from Deep Cut Studios, as sold by Bigredbat Simon Miller in his online store. We were very pleased with both the layout and the scenario and most of the players who joined us on the day were full of praise for the rules and indeed seemed to thoroughly enjoy the games.
Anyway, on to the pictures...
Am just putting some paint on a lovely desert fort I bought at the show for my NW Frontier games. It's meant to be a French Foreign Legion fort, but it'll be great for my games! After that, it's more painting for Dragon Rampant...
