The Portable Colonial Wargame book: The Battle of Al-Nahr

Yesterday I completed the second of the two battle reports that will be included in THE PORTABLE COLONIAL WARGAME book, and here are a few taster photographs to whet potential readers' appetites:




The battle was generated by the simple Colonial campaign system that is also in the book.

I have one more chapter to finish as well as the selected bibliography ... and then the text will be ready for proof reading.

    Nice pictures Bob. I like the involvement of a gunboat.

      Maudlin Jack Tar,

      Cheers! I built the gunboat for the game I ran at COW2019.

      All the best,

      Bob

    Hi Bob,
    Pleased your keeping busy with your Projects and Book- I'm presuming that you are in semi-lockdown there in London. Your Battle Photos for your Book are excellent - I do like your Essex 15mm and Gunboat. Cheers. KEV.

      Ross Mac,

      I might as well make the best of it whilst I can. Like you, I’m thinking about putting on a few games whilst I am in purdah ... but Sue is already writing a list of things that ‘we’ can do around the house!

      Keep safe and keep well,

      Bob

    The photos alone have sold me on the book. Looking forward to it being published.

      Mike C,

      I’ve used about thirty photos to illustrate both of the exemplar battles in the book.

      All the best,

      Bob
