Fistful of Lead Game

 

Charlie ran a Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles game at one of the local game stores last evening.  I was on the side of the Zanzibaris trying to 'break through' down the road.  That's one of my units down by the road - with a bit of shock on it.  Another unit I ran can be seen in the top far right.  Both of those units eventually got wiped out.  You might say our side got our butt's kicked - but had fun in the process.  He put on a very nice visual game and perhaps the highlight was the rope suspension bridge above from Miniature Building Authority - as were a couple of tents - one in the background - and the hut on the right of the photo with cool interior; the tents really didn't measure up to the usual MBA standard.  My musket armed unit did better and did quite a bit of damage to units approaching from out left rear.  And the last act of the game was my leader, seen just to the right of the tent, telling our survivors we had urgent business back at the tribal council fires - and then turning and placing a terrible curse on our enemies, no doubt greatly souring their feelings of victory!
