Perhaps consider upgrading to a jet engine extractor?

Note to self: make sure extractor fan in games room toilet functioning correctly.

May I refer you to Peeler's comments on the "urinals" thread?

Gary, I’ll be bringing three units, each consisting of 24 Zulus. I’ve also painted up their commander. Are we playing version 1 or 2?

That's excellent Jeremy, thanks. So we'll have 30 units of Zulus then . . .
Tbh I've not decided whether to use version 2. I quite like the command rules but there's so many house rules for the Rorke's Drift scenario I'll probably just make it up as I go along!

[grizzlymc]

Hell, that's what about 1:6?

[Jeremy]

I’d say let’s use version 2, as I think they are an improvement on V1 and we’ll use your house rules regardless?

[Jeremy]

Closer to 1:5. Which means there should be around 28 British on the table to our 720 Zulu’s.

[garyp]

Scale is a bit 'elastic'. There'll be just under 100 British on the table. I have considered doing the British on a 1:1 scale with each figured named, but then I realised I didn't know the names of all the Zulus present . . . . . .

As far as rules go Jeremy, the only differences between BP1 and BP2 that will impact this game, as far as I can see, are those for generals and for fighting in buildings. I'm going to use some special rules for the former anyway and I think the new ability to fire 2 dice per face from a building might unbalance the scenario and mean the Zulus never actually manage to close. I'll have another read and decide.

[Jeremy]

All good Gary. I’m not prescriptive either way. As long as my assegais get to drink their full, I’m happy!

[goat major]

Let's hope Peeler doesn't get his assey gas into action
