Happy New Year & all that malarkey....bah humbug. Work, most definitely took it's toll on MrF last year only a measly 16 posts for the DBA 15K website. Well this year it will be different!!! Though it may not be DBA we'll be playing. I've had a look at a few other rule sets & at last found one that appears to be Ok. We've already started collecting new minis, this time in 28mm, so stay tuned.
Well done to Steve, another cracking website... check it out.

Amy took the Pirate Lads AAaarr!! for that one & went straight for the jugular. My Spanish Army was poorly lead & it showed... Never mind, at least we've started 2011!
Nice scenario! Coincidentally, I had just read a similar scenario on a weirdly-named site called "Balagan":

He did a similar scenario set in the West Indies, this time involving Francis Drake (who was maybe 1 step above being a pirate himself!):

I have to say I like your version a lot better!
Best regards,

ReplyDeleteIt was Steve Balagan's website that we got the idea from for our Panama game. A cracking site with lots of ideas.
