Sugar Islands on Tour

Some pics from Saturday's game at Targe in Kirriemuir. A very very busy morning filling folks in about the Campaign - it was three hours before I got a chance to sneak off from the table. We played the Attack on Madame Ducharmey's Plantation.

Caught up with CG and GH and have cooked up a few ideas which I will be working on over the next few months. In the afternoon some youngsters arrived and got a chance to play which was nice.

The table took second prize for best scenery which I'm delighted with and I managed to shift a few books too.

Copies of the book are now on their way to Canada, New Zealand and Australia as well as throughout the uk.

NOW AVAILABLE - Wargaming the Sugar Islands Campaign - A Guide to the British Expedition to Martinique and Guadeloupe in 1759

I received the printed copies of the book from the printer today. It has been a quite a journey but I have enjoyed it very much and hope that you will enjoy reading about and gaming the battles and encounters on the islands.

Wargaming the Sugar Islands Campaign is an 80 page A5 glossy bound guide to the British Invasion of Martinique and Guadeloupe. It contains a detailed summary of the events on both islands, the leaders, the forces involved and the islands themselves. There is information on suitable figures, scenery and rule sets to use and loads of period maps detailing the landing areas and land fought over. I have commissioned two pen and ink drawing from Chris Gregg which sit in the centre of the book. Lastly the book also contains 6 scenarios each with a detailed colour layout and with special rules including a simple campaign and special events.
