though looking at the artists pictures of childhood I still find myself grabbing the hair-dryer sometimes and pretending its a laser pistol
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Don't tell anyone, but I have a le Mat pistol which is very like that used in Firefly, which in my not so humble opinion was infinitely superior to Star Wars.

Nice looking table there, Vulture.  8)  Were the buildings scratch-built?

Photo was taken at my local club (Harrogate Wargames Club).  Most of the terrain is club owned terrain, which I believe is N gauge railway buildings.

1) Field Of Battle 2nd Edition ( Piquet )
2) 1745 Jacobite and English ( Pendraken naturally )
3) Played 2 games back to back, definitely beginning to get comfortable in the 2nd game
4) First time playing these rules, I've got a backlog of rules to try out, FoB worked it's way to the top of the pile

Lovely table and, if I haven't already, I'd like to welcome you aboard Vulture ;)

Wulf

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game?
- TFL Chain of Command

2) What armies were confronted?
- Plucky Brits of the BEF vs. brave soldiers of the Reich, France 1940

3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset?
- getting there. I spent much more time playing out the Scout phase than the actual game, that's the bit I need to get more relaxed with.

4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset?
- No. haven't played nearly as much as I should, but have had a go. I really need to get more terrain made...

Answers

1) Black Powder
2) French Army of the Main and Allied Army of Observation (Western Germany c 1758)
3) Broadly - have subsequently looked at Last Argument of Kings suggestions and house rule suggestions for tweaks (this was a test run using my 10mm Pendraken with 7 battalions, 4 mounted regiments and 2 gun models per side).
4) Yes

Answers

1) Spearhead, in 6mm, WW2 scale divisional set. Actually about a reinforced regiment per side.
2) "Early" WW2 American - late '42, with Grants and half tracks and NGFS. Versus Vichy French - so R-35's, Char D1's, 75mm "crash-bangs" and infantry with rifle grenades. Grants are unsurprisingly very hard to deal with... when your opponents AA halftracks are better than your "MBTs"....
3) Very, myself. less so for rest of players maybe as they'd not played so recently and were caught out by the differences to BKC.
4) Nope, not for anyone :) But we are coming back to Spearhead & Rhys Batchelors excellent scenario generation system after playing BKC for ages.

Really good game, stalwart French defense nearly saw the Yanks break as their green troops took a real pounding from the experienced and motivated French Colonials despite massive materiel superiority! If our tanks hadn't been like chaff to the reaper of the Yanqui Panzers...

That's the question.

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game?

Black Powder from warlord games

2) What armies were confronted?

Seven year war prussian and Austrian

3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset?

Very much so, I enjoy the command rules and simplicity

4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset?

Second time, we played the same battle as the first but on a bigger table, it's made a massive difference!
