News from the Front! – COW2009: Odds and Ends 1

Because there is so much going on at COW, I cannot always get round to see or photograph everything. The following report is illustrated with images sent to me by Graham Evans, who put on one of the sessions I 'missed'.

This session gave Graham Evans the opportunity to run one of his ongoing series of games about President-for-Life Joga-Joga, and the numerous attempts to end his tenure in office.

The figures and models are 15mm scale, and come from Graham’s extensive collection. The rules are his own development of Chris Engle’s POLITICS BY OTHER MEANS.

The Wha-li's elite camel fanatics charge the President as he emerges from the wreck of his command carrier.

The President-for-Life goes prone, showing his penny base to the massed ranks of Condimenti's Parachute Brigade.

  1. I missed Jog Jog too - but apparently the 90mm AT round didn't.

    Excellent and comprehensive coverage, Bob ...

    I have a general overview on my http://soawargamesteam.blogspot.com/2009/07/knuston-hall-3rd-to-5th-july.html Shows North blog ...

    There are some pictures of John Curry's entertaining Recce lawn game towards the end of the entry ...

  2. Phil,

    I am told that the President-for-Life's demise may have been incorrectly reported, and that he is, in fact, still alive and kicking.

    I hope you don't mind if a 'nick' some representative images of sessions that I missed and you photographed (with full acknowledgement to you, of course).

    All the best,

    Bob

  3. No problem, Bob ...

    If you want a bigger file than you can get off the blog, drop me an email (the original is usually bigger and usually doesn't get deleted)

    Jog Jog survives? Do we have DNA records for the real one? Or will they have been lost like all the other vital records?

  4. Is there a place to get the "MIDDLE AGE SPREAD" rules you show being played at the COW?

    Looks interesting even from way over here.

  5. Jim,

    I imagine that they will be published in THE NUGGET is due course.

    Their availability to possible users before then will depend upon the authors, who can be contacted via the WDDG Group on Yahoo Groups.
