Title: Saturday Night Fights -- "The Mahdists Strike Back!"
Post by: Cyrano on March 04, 2019, 10:15:58 PM: With Tuna on his way to the convalescent home...or at least convalescence...we must needs re-fight out "The Men Who Would Be Kings" Battle of Abu Klea.

This time using the proper scenario.

Barth, OJ, and Tuna, you all in?

Velker has no choice.

Post by: ojsdad on March 05, 2019, 05:26:10 PM: Depends if our girls basketball team wins Thursday or not. If they win they play Saturday night to a chance to go to state.

Post by: Cyrano on March 10, 2019, 01:10:55 AM: Thanks for everybody who played!

The game was fun, and TMWWBK is now my colonial game of choice, but "Sword and the Flame" scenarios do not translate well.

I will, in future, be sticking to those custom built for the system.

Oh, yes, Mahdist win (on points).

Burnaby survived.

Post by: Barthheart on March 10, 2019, 07:36:36 AM: Yeah Mahdist! :applause:
Title: Re: Saturday Night Fights -- "The Mahdists Strike Back!"
Post by: ojsdad on March 10, 2019, 01:11:05 PM: Should have stayed home and help Burnaby win. Our girls BB team got routed by over 30 points. Never seen them play such a poor game. Acted like they never seen a basketball before.

Post by: Cyrano on March 10, 2019, 03:54:30 PM: Burnaby couldn't overcome one very lucky rush in the early going.

Lots of Mahdists didn't make it, though.

Sorry the game went so poorly!

Very lucky, and also very smart! -- all props to Dortimer for making the attempt! Generally smart play all around on the Madhist side, under the circumstances.

I have now begun to do just that.

Fine suggestion.

And I finally got my "community leader" badge or some such.
