Isn't that meant to be "Tiger Feet"?

That looks awesome! Clearly the rules are rubbish if they allow Purps to make a sweeping victory using dice.

Agreed! Any rules that actually allow the Purple One to win are clearly rubbish!

It was indeed quite a turnup but very cinematic - Garibaldi on a white horse charging through the archway as the Bourbon regiment crumbles and flees. The great thing about the SP rules is how little narratives appear throughout the game - we had 4 or 5 events that became a story in their own right (Purp's seems to have neglected to tell you about his puny little chopper). Add that to LT's fantastic scenery and figures and it was a very good day all round.

You’re not confusing it with his cannon are you? I thought that was why he wore tiny shorts, to make his cannon look bigger

Look I won’t be embarrassed when one of you declares me a military genius.
“He’s like Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick had a love child with Eugene of Savoy” said one of you quietly as I walked by...
Yes I am really.
That’s quite right.
Really when people talk of Peter the Great, they shouldn’t really be thinking about that Russian bloke.
