Snow Stopped Play!

Unfortunately the planned game of Pulp Alley did not take place due to severe weather conditions last week. I had made a rather poor movie of the set-up which I will post here and a couple of photos of the Snapcase League of Eccentric Gentlemen.

Tragedy at Tenochtitlan


L. to R.: Athelstan Snapcase (Younger brother and black sheep of the Snapcases), Brigadier (retd.) Jethro Q. Walrustitty, Chulmleigh (faithful bulldog), Lord Snapcase, Old Scrotum (the wrinkled family retainer), Captain (retd.) Kevin Darling and Bertie Wells.

Looking good, have you read these, I thought all your clear base were Sally4. The look much thinner and do look very good.
Are they commercial because they are very neatly cut.

Vagabond, I copied your method after seeing your Old West pictures. I am using scrap plastic to make the bases and a 1" punch I got on Amazon. They look good don't they!

Sorry to hear the weather turned old chap, it looks fine in the group photo's - must have been one of those freak weather phenomenons ;-)
Having whetted our appetites with this little 'trailer', I hope you manage to get the game rescheduled in the not-too-distant future :-)

Yes, I do indeed intend to re-schedule this one. It was to be two leagues investigating an abandoned camp site. The other league was possibly a group of Kriegsmarine landed by U-Boat. The mystery is why was the camp site abandoned?

An amazing looking table Martin hope you get to play out the game on it as much for your sake as for mine as I want to see it :)

What scenario are you going to play out if you don't mind me asking ?

Hi Frank, glad you liked it. I'll try again soon. It was a scenario I made up involving two leagues investigating an abandoned archaeological dig and camp site. One League was the League of Eccentric Gentlemen and the other was a U-Boat crew.
