Deetails On The Rocks - Indian Mutiny


In a rocky part of India, 1857...


Mutineers mass...


And meet British regiments proudly donning their most favourite shakos...


Well Drilled Mutineer Artillery (we were playing The Men Who Would Be Kings, and this unit's leader rolled up "Bullet Proof Bumbler", which is probably one of the worst Traits an Artillery unit could possibly be burdened with!  But fun though, and even managed to hit something!)


Mid-point in the battle...


Badmashes (Tribal Inf. with the fierce upgrade) about to charge the British Irregular cavalry...


British Irregular Cavalry in their irregular dress - but, ahhh, beautiful Deetails cavalry!  How I love Deetails horses and the mounted poses!!


Unfortunately, they didn't survive...


But the British eventually won.  I have yet to have a Non-Regular force win a game of The Men Who Would Be Kings.  Seems fitting, though.  Great game and very enjoyable rules.

Scots on (and by) The Rocks...

Man The Barricades! (Deetails SCW)

Suddenly it is Spring and the weather is just right for gaming outside again.   So it was off to The Spanish Civil War...


And the Barricades of Barcelona...


The Nationalists Attack!


Led by the mighty Panzer 1!


But the Anarchists are ready.


Although the Nationalist bombardment is relentless.


Germans assist in anti-tank support for the Nationalists.


Still the barricades hold!


A fit of fascination with the Spanish Civil War led to some new Deetails conversions.  Here are some of my favourites...



I plan to use them as Partisans too.


But until then, more barricades must be defended!
