The Battle of Al Bunrab

Ouargistan's Landship Trafalgar
Al Bunrab was the first, and the best, of the landship battles. David had handed Steve, Max, and Charles boxes of assorted parts, junk and makeshift tools, and asked everyone to build at least one land ironclad; when the day came, there were eight landships plus lesser vehicles. It was a festive event, captured for posterity in the video images below.

Charles and David came up with the scenario. Rules were a simplified version of The Sword and the Flame, plus David's Landships of Ouargistan rules, which (it is to be hoped) will be available on the Landships page soon.

    I really miss the good old MAJOR GENERAL TREMORDEN REDERRING`s website ... especially his battle reports. They were always inspiring.

    All the best,

    Bob

    Great looking 'Steampunk' action. Pity the pictures are so tiny...

    One of the great websites and pretty much single-handedly responsible for rekindling my real interest in miniatures gaming in my adult life.

    It is that Eli, I'm thinking of doing a 54mm funny little wars tribute game of this in the back yard this coming summer.

    Great throwback post, Don.
    I still visit the site (through the wayback machine), and every now and then think about doing a sort of "tribute" tour by getting some bloggers together to replay all of their battles.
