The Defence of Melbourne

I have been meaning to get around to posting about this excellent emo game put on at CANCON 09, yet sadly haven't found the time. But now, I've found this excellent Blog by the guys themselves:

It was a great game using 25mm figs and modified TSATF rules. And as you can see, the scratchbuilt models and terrain are just stunning!

I'll try to clean up the pics I took and add them too

War of the Worlds with LI

A TMP thread discusses the use of :LI to fight out WOTW scenarios:

Fires in the Night Sky or How I learned to stop worrying and love the Madhi

SitRep: The Madhi forces had been pushing hard along the Nile toward a small port of Abba-Dabba Do. An Anglo-Egyptian force has marched to protect this town from the advancing enemy. During the night before the battle, huge fires in the Madhi camp lit the night skys and the frenzied warchants of the fathful could be heard. The defenders of Abba-Dabba Do steeled themselves for the coming assault.

When the dawn broke, the defenders were in for a suprise….
