Oh I really liked reading this AAR 8). Another 'period' added to my gaming list :D.

Luddite

Cheers chaps.

Hopefully the next engagement will be slightly less one-sided, as the British regular reserves finally get themselves mobilised.

;D

Looking forward to the next AAR already :).

Luddite

I've amended the AAR with a couple of maps concerning the situation.  Who doesn't like maps eh?!   :D

Hordes is a good choice of ruleset, I've even seen it used for 40k epic. Looking forward to the next AAR already.

Steve J

Never played Hordes so might check it out.

Steve J

Forgot to add that the maps are very useful to gain an overview of this campaign. Let's hope the Brits can find some fighting spirit and stop the damned Hun!

GordonY

Steve just remember its Hordes of the Things, not Hordes, two totally different animals, or rulesets if you prefer.

Steve J

Thanks for the 'heads up' Gordon :).
