Today was my birthday and that means it was time for the annual Amazon vs. Amazon battle. This year, I played the game with a twist - instead of being set on Valkae, I chose to set the game on Colonial Lemuria in the Kingdom of Nobelongga - the year is 1900. The queen has… Continue reading Amazon vs. Amazon at the Dawn of the 20th Century
Not a single building was harmed and the raid was repulsed. Jelani, the chief's son, proposed that they immediately sweep the jungle and drive any Niambo back across the border. With the rest of the village's men still away, Jelani's force consisted of one unit of men and four units of women warriors. They set… Continue reading Sweeping the Jungle
The patrol had been a disaster. Isawannayu had been defeated and had barely escaped with her wounded. Ode's group met a worse fate. Her group fought until they were all incapacitated, one of her women paid the ultimate price. However, instead of being captured by the Niambo, the Niambo men disfigured the women's faces with… Continue reading Lair of the Lioness
Played another game of Colonial Adventures today at Area 51 Games in Grapevine, TX. The group had 2 games today. At one table, Americans assaulted a Cuban village where the Spanish had placed a fortress gun. The other table featured the game in which I played, where Zulus & African Tribal Women were to destroy… Continue reading With Spears Gleaming in the Sun

The quality of the pictures won't be as good as the past posts. I used my camera in the game store without a… Continue reading My First Colonial Adventures Game

I even chose a simple scheme for the shields as well. 54 figures are now completed! The next group that is very close to completion is maidens… Continue reading Maidens with Braided Hair
There are times when life really throws a monkey wrench into a person's plans. I had planned on completing 36 additional figures by March 25th and with the figures I have already completed that would have given me at least 2 warbands to play in the inaugural Colonial Adventures Game. However, I caught the flu.… Continue reading Gray Ladies, the Flu, & Some Completed Figures
I've received all of the miniatures for the Colonial Adventures project. There's 133 figures in all. Only 14 have been completed. I have 8 days to paint as many as I can. The Foundry sculpts are so beautiful. It is sad that Foundry is pulling some of figures in the Darkest Africa range from their… Continue reading Bare Nekkid (Metal) Ladies

I've been invited to play Colonial Adventures with a local gaming group! I would have normally turned down the request because I don't like to play periods where there are no women characters or warriors. I know I said I would do no new periods for this year. But guess what! There were several African… Continue reading Coming Soon: Colonial Adventures Gaming
