A HAT Askari
I've been following Ross's new game on his blog and I was thinking it might be a good fit for some games that don't quite work with CCN. I had intended to use it for an 1850s "what if" style scenario, using my Crimean Russians, Austrians, Hungarians and French. On the other hand, I might actually see if I could use it with my Indian armies as they haven't had a go yet. This was sort of prompted by the fact that I'm getting a game of TSATF in tomorrow and it means I won't have reset the table.
With that in mind, I thought I might need a couple of Indian civilians. I don't actually have any, but I did have a German Askari lying around. So I gave him a quick trim with a sharp knife and added some green stuff for a turban and turned his jacket into robes.
It's not the neatest job in the world, but it might pass muster with a lick of paint.
John Lockwood Kipling bas relief - inspirational stuff.
I'm quite looking forward to getting a game into tomorrow. It's been a dogs age. I hope I remember how TSATF works.
I look forward to seeing this fellow finished and in a game...
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the turbaned gentleman - but no picture?
ReplyDeleteI will get working on one very shortly.
DeleteHmm, nice... and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteNot even remotely in your league old son, but what is?
DeleteA lick of paint and he should fit right in.
ReplyDeleteTS&TF is pretty rugged, you can do all sorts of things different from the book and still have a good game.
Enjoy!
I hope so.
DeleteWe did get that game in - though I managed to make a mess of the turn sequence which caused some problems.
