Following on from the cardboard counter armies I made yesterday (see http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,18534.new.html) I've rolled them out onto the battlefield for a go at my newly arrived copies of Big Bloody Battles. Let the slaughter begin!

Very happy to see you enjoyed your first go at BBB! I like your ingenious instant armies. (OK, not quite instant, but way quicker than painting figures or paying someone else.) Looking forward to seeing your 2mm project take shape.

Thanks Chris! Having reread the rules I've picked up a few of the nuances I got wrong first time round but nothing major thankfully. Hope to get a game out again soon. I've also been browsing the scenario files on the Yahoo group, lots of potential games to be had!  :D

Wow, talk about taking the elements of the game back to basic. Quite literally 'rock, scissors, paper' ... and 'string'.
