The Ayton 2023 Colonial Thread, Friday 28th-30th April.

[MarshalNey]

I wonder whose side I'll be on? Normally, I'm always on the losing side.

[garyp]

Are you bringing figures Ken? Or borrowing some forces.

[World2dave]

Similarly to Buff, my tooled-up mobile heathen conversion unit (armed priest, monks and colonial corps bully-boy escort) are likely to find on their travels a lot of sinners to redeem - or condemn.

[MarshalNey]

I've got 78 infantry (Boer War British), two cannons and two gatlin guns. Tim H has kindly offered to make a force for me. I don't know yet how many Tim will let me use.

[World2dave]

About 4 hopefully.

Scenery - is everyone just bringing anything they've got that might be of use?
Or is there a table design team who've already worked everything out to the last rock?
I've got various stuff but not sure if it'll be useful - rocks, jungle, etc...?

So my decision to include a Spanish element to my force was divinely guided. Technically we are supporting the Godless Albon heretics but The Inquisition have made our duty clear to us.

Presumably using a crystal ball as it was disbanded in 1834.

The main thing we defo need is desert mats, as many as you can bring. I think we have plenty of buildings and flora, but rocks, hills, Drystone walls etc will be welcome.

We have re-engaged the normal table design team, using their patented "chuck it all on the table and see what it looks like" technique.

[Jeremy]

I’ll bring cloths, walls, cacti, hills, roads, rivers erc

[Jeremy]

Even a bazaar. How bizarre
