One of the many things I love about VnB is the way in which small changes in the rules significantly alter the play, the whole feel, of the game. Adrian has a series of tweaks that allow Boer War actions to be totally playable. For example, the Boers are all skirmish stands, sharp shooters, shoot with two dice... you get the idea. If you know the rules, I realise you might go 'what?', but the point is that they work. Game three for the week was a Boer war action with Adrian, Jon, and Alastair. A train was trapped, the Boers having partially damaged the line. A relief force was on the way. Could they make it?
No they didn't. We were too cautious with the relief force, and the Boer troops managed top destroy the train's guarding force before we managed to get there. A really fun game. The game was played using Adrian's 15mm armies.
