Into Darkest Africa (IHMN AAR) 4/12/2014

This is some of the In Her Majesty's Name game that I ran with the St. Crispin's Irregulars in Anahiem at their Hobby Day. I didn't get a chance to take as many photos as I would have liked, as I was busy running the game for some of my friends.

Sweat dripped down the faces of the men in the British Expeditionary force as they peered into the haze. Little did they know that their fellow countrymen from the Queen's Rifles were also after the same goal. Off in the distance they heard foreign voices, and the howls of the natives. They wished now that they had stayed back at the base.

The three expeditionary forces began at opposite ends of the map. Each had the goal of unearthing the Sun Disc, a mysterious relic.

The British Expeditionary Force encounters dense native activity. Being tied up in combat the Steam Riflemen takes a shot at the Zulu.

Lady Hartinger's Expedition arrives at the first site. In her dainty voice she exclaims "Stand back, I'm going to try science!" The Egyptian military vigilance protects the scientists from the native hoard. After several attempts they shout "Eureka!" And hold aloft the golden artifact.

Meanwhile the Queen's Rifles are pinned down in the river by the Zulu.

The Queen's Rifles vanquish their native foes. Amid shouts of "Tally ho good chap!" They advance further into the jungle with the hopes of taking down Lady Hartinger and the Mad Doctor.

Upon spying the natives across the river, Clay Arkwright gets into position to lead the Queen's Rifles against the BEF. But the BEF's specialist Randy Dawes takes aim with his fearsome steam rifle.

Hartinger's Expedition runs off the board to the sounds of covering fire from their Egyptian troops.

The finale of the game, Lady Hartinger, Scientist Maxwell Zwigler and their native bearer escape with the spoils. Maxwell intends to use the sun disc to power his Solar Wave Magnetized Inductor.
THE END

Things I learned. The artifact should be in the center of the map to facilitate more of a struggle. I need to review the armor rules. I forgot that arc weapons ignore armor, And I'll be toning down the armor to make it more of a fight. The other possibility would be to add some more talents to make the soldiers better in combat.

Until next time, have a great game.
This is Kevin,
Over and out!
