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

Is the plan still for a 30 point force each, using the TMWWBK rules??

Yes. 100% yes

Have you confirmed this with Andy?

[Jeremy]

I’ll have a force of British and Boer allies for one of the days and a force of Zulus for the other.

Jeremy, how big a force of Zulus can you bring? I'm thinking that those of us playing natives might be able to take on 2 or 3 colonial forces at once.

Will add up the points and let you know

I'll probably regret this but I re-bought MWWBK just now. I think Buff bought my old copy at a previous Ayton. £9.30 on fleabay if anyone needs a copy.

I have a copy of Pikeman's Lament too so should be covered now.

[Buff Redux]

If anyone wants to prepare for Ayton 2024 I have a spare copy of Lamentable Pikeys.

OK having pondered for some time over the weekend I'm going to do a force based around the regular Afghan list mostly using my sepoys and tribesmen. It'll be imaginations, Independent Principality of Kashmir Expedtionary Force or some such like. Just need to add some cavalry and officers etc.

No African Knights then

[goat major]

Nope that was plan A but required doing an army from scratch

If North Star did more than two variants I might have been tempted .
