Ongoing troubles at the Khyber


-A great day out in Covid times-

A fresh table setup with a load of plastics in their maiden battle. 

The men who would be king ruleset used in a iconic colonial setting: Pathans and Afghan regulars cross a British Naval detachment in the ‘Just passing by’ scenario no:1.
 Playmobil meets Armies in Plastic.


The scenario objective is to earn (more) points by bringing units over half strenght to the other table edge (lengthwise). Extra points for extinguised  units or their leaders. 
What seems like a simple setup can squeeze players into  a complex game of doubt and consideration.
How simple things can become complicated when opponents start ‘popping’ each other.


Order of battle

Natives:

1 x 4 points small (8) Afghan reg. Inf. unit
1 x 3 points Afghan tribal Cav. unit
1 x 5 points reg. crewed weapon (small cannon)
4 x 3 points tribal Inf. unit

Total: 24 points

British:

2 x 6 points naval brigade Inf. unit
1 x 6 points marines Inf. unit
1 x 6 points  crewed weapon (Gatling gun)

Total: 24 points

  1. Nice variety of terrain pieces! I love the rope bridge - just like the one in Gunga Din!

  2. ...and the bridge was used Nick. The tribals (having no terrain restrictions) crossed it fairly swiftly.
