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

[Jeremy]

Now might be a good time for people to declare which side they’re on? Will help the organisers plan.

I’m bringing Zulus, so natives side for me.

After driving the British out of Afghanistan and annexing Persia, the Afghan Empire is sending an expeditionary force to release Africa from the colonial yoke.

[Jamanicus]

My British are looking for revenge after the tactical retreat from Afghan.

We heard some of them have ventured into Africa, so it's rude not to put together a little expeditionary force of our own

Supported by a nice river boat (not included in the points value...unless we wanna count that as a 30 pointer of its own? )

[Jeremy]

So you want to put your heavily armed force on a (free) heavily armed gunboat in the middle of the river where the natives (who generally have little to no long ranged weapons) can’t reach you?

[Jeremy]

We need a scenario where the crown Prince of the Gateway forces has had his entire cavalry force wiped out and is hiding out in a rocky outcrop and has to be saved to avoid an international incident (not sure what that incident would be?)

[Essex Boy]

or bring both and lend an army out to someone. Or use different armies on different days.

30 is my maximum

I'm aiming for 4 points.

4 points and a gun boat for me (good thinking Jamie ).

Your traditional allies from the Duchy of Brunswick are happy to stand by your side (we still use rank chevrons!).

4 points more than i was predicting
