Hi all,
I've been having the conundrum of only really owning one army for each game I play, making solo games impossible (I can't do paper stand-ins, I'm allergic.) I did just have a brainwave about my Sharp Practice British though, why not play a mission with deserters vs regulars in the peninsula.
I have enough to do a small game maybe a skirmish in a village or something similar. For example rescuing a captured officer from the deserter's camp in an abandoned village, working with maybe a couple of groups per side or very small forces. What's the best way of injecting a bit of narrative into the game?
I'll use the minor character and sentry rules for the initial set up so I suppose I really need to figure out who has what in terms of figures and give it a bash. The only thing I'm missing is an Elizabeth Hurley miniature, but we can't win them all.
Does anyone have any ideas or tips on making a good scenario around very small / TV drama style actions? Might as well chuck in a bit of dueling of course ;)
Cheers,
Pete
