I have been struggling recently with Yahoo Groups and have decided to start a forum devoted to discussing and promoting 54mm wargaming in all its aspects.
The forum is here:

Everyone welcome!

Action in the North-West Frontier
Anthony and I played another North-West Frontier game using our 54mm collection and Bob Cordery's Portable Colonial Wargames rules.
The game was played on a 3 x 4 mat marked in 10cm squares.
This is the setup at the start of the game. The objective is the small ruined outpost in the centre of the battlefield. They winner is the person who holds it at the end of turn 15.
This is a closeup of the British and Pathan setups. Anthony was playing British as usual...
The natives in the rules can sometimes double move and I was able to use this ability troops into cover and quickly to the objective and to cover the flanks. However, the dice were really against me and with Anthony and I failed to win any melees. When you take a hit you can be forced back or destroyed. I only managed to save a unit from destruction once in the entire game!
Even with me losing most of my units the game still came down to Turn 15 and a final chance to clear the ruin of British forces.
But sadly, I lost the melee again and the British won the day...
Another really fun game with some very simple but elegant rules.
