from RayR - Mrs Nightingale Balloon Trip with Sarah (35points)

My first trip on Sarah's Balloon and I'd like to go home to Rousell's Sandhill please Sarah?

I'd like to introduce you all to Florence's Grand Mother Ethel, the original lady with the lamp.

Although Ethel has forgotten to light hers!

The figure is from Parkfield Miniatures Smugglers Range,  she's a true 25mm, so she's a little dinky compared to other manufacturers, but fits in well with my Donnybrook civvies!

Points mean prizes, so I've included a pic of a celebration can of Prohibition from Kent Brewery where I work (yum). This is of course instead of Champagne, that's far too posh for me!

I hope this is sufficient to earn me some bonus points???

Ethel looks like a hard working and true lass, and her ticket on the ballon has been upgraded to first class because you WORK AT A BREWERY??? If I'd known that I would have been issuing you a few extra side challenges :-)

From RayR - Donnybrook: 25mm Jacobite Artillery & defenses (70 Points)

Firstly, thank you to all you lovely lot out there who voted me into second place in the "Sport" bonus round. I had a lot of fun creating the figures and have been asked what rules I plan to use to play Lacrosse with them. I don't know how to play Lacrosse, never mind make rules up for them!!!

Another week has passed and I've been very busy with the brush!

I've stayed with the Jacobite Highlanders again this week, but have gone for the simpler form of artillery.

All the Highlander figures are like the Horse in my last post from Reiver Castings, while the artillery is from Parkfield Miniatures and Wargames Foundry.

There are 7 x artillerymen

And 2 guns

Also, there are a few packs of Trade Goods from Crooked Dice that can be used as hastily built barricades or defences.

Not sure what points they're worth Lee?

7 x 25mm  35 points

2 x artillery 15 points??? (Should be 10 points each, but one's a tiddler?)

5 x various trade goods ?????

Nice one Ray, I like a bit o artillery. I'm feeling generous today so I'm awarding 10 points each for the guns, even though one is small. Its a 'crew served weapon' regardless of its size!. As for the various trade goods do I treat them as elements or as terrain?? In the end, I've gone with the former and I've awarded 4 pts each for the large elements, 3 for the medium one and 2 pts each for the small elements giving you 15 points in total for this assortment of baggage/terrain. That brings your total up to 70 Points.
