More Enfilade 2006 pics
Here are some more pics from the last convention I attended - Enfilade 2006...
Setting: France during the Hundred Year's War
Rules: Medieval Tactica Siege
Scale: 28mm
Scenario: The French are defending a strategic river crossing at Pont du Merde; the English must take it.
Pont du Merde, being defended by none other than Taeklonn!
The start - the English forces: 'Wes' on the English right (left of pic); the empty chair is my position in the center; and Feawin holds the English left flank. You will also note the French defenders in the keep. Also shown is the Reviresco vendor stand.
Charge!
And that is where the photocommentary runs dry...
I was too busy having fun (and taunting my son with terrible Monty Python quotes) to take many pics. It was a great game, with the issue in doubt until the end. The fine English forces were able (albeit with heavy losses) to take possession of the crossing from the French. Our thanks to gamemaster Kevin Smythe!

Yet more blogs...
Since I'm away from my usual computer I'll just fill in some space with a few more links to other interesting blogs:
Tyler's blog at: The General's Tent - info on Warmaster, Heavy Gear, and War of 1812.
Peter's blog at: My Wonder World of Gaming - AT-43 and WW2 among others
Hyun's blog at: WeeToySoldiers - sci-fi gaming and trains, with lots of pics

Wargaming Tekumel
A couple of questions were asked in various Comments about wargaming Tekumel, and I thought it would just be easier to answer them with a proper post than in the comments sections...
Mike C asked about Tekumel rulesets - I have not played any of the official Tekumel wargaming rules. There are three that I know of: Missum, Qadardalikoi, and Legions of the Petal Throne. Copies of these rules can be found at Tita's House of Games - or at Noble Knight Games. Also, Hordes of The Things has army lists for Tsolyanu and Yan Kor armies. One of these days I will get copies of all of these sets, for yet more background info and maybe some information on how the magic system 'should' work on Tekumel.
Maksim asked about the army books - these can be found at Tita's House of Games - or at Noble Knight Games.
The 'official' rules, for which the army books are written seem a bit complex. Each legion is broken down into components - cohorts if you will - and each cohort of a given legion can have completely different stats from each other. In the highly organized Tsolyanu and Mu'ugalavyani empires, the legions are homogeneous and will have only one type of troop in them, be it heavy, medium, or light infantry. Yan Kor 'legions' tend to have a great mix of units together. Throw in the non-human troops and it can be very complicated!
