I'll be the first to admit that sometimes my innovations don't quite work, as with the movable perils in this game (Nazis - too easy to beat, buffalo - too threatening).Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-48175619944401819672019-12-11T17:44:00.888+00:002019-12-11T17:44:00.888+00:00Glad I could lighten you day, Phil :-) !Glad I could lighten you day, Phil :-) !Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-5616329040469864002019-12-11T17:43:35.360+00:002019-12-11T17:43:35.360+00:00Thanks, Simon.

Y...Fantastic accounts of a sometimes confused game.<br />You're quite right that the Nazis proved ineffectual as perils, while the buffalo absolutely dominated the tabletop (until Gonga arrived).<br />There's probably scope for some "Between scenario" work on some custom peril types for hostile people and animals.<br /><br />Our expanded leagues meant that the table was even more crowded than usual.<br />I think this contributed to the numbers of malingering underlings during the second phase.<br />We've developed a style of using them as scouts, to screen off enemies and to mop up minor plot points.<br />By the second part of a scenario, the major characters are generally engaged, leaving the "mooks" relatively little to do.<br />I'm sure we will adapt and find new tactics for them.<br /><br />It's really good to see the various league mambers developing a personality that goes beyond their raw stats.<br />Sir Henry's penchant for wrestling the biggest creature, Al Masoudi's always being a step behind the action, Tarzan usually ghosting through the rabble to run off with the major plot point and the cult's dinamitero's grudge against small simians.<br /><br />I wonder whether (the table being a little more crowded now), it might be worth expanding the playing space by 6" each way when the interior has dense terrain.<br /><br />Finally.<br />A great game.<br />A great write up.<br />I can't wait for the final deadly series of encounters.<br /><br />SteveHolmes11https://www.blogger.com/profile/17392212343858957364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-74397360931838783022019-12-10T05:15:02.653+00:002019-12-10T05:15:02.653+00:00Fantastic game!
