Rockets!

 When I was uptown this morning I picked up the wargames magazine with Arthur’s article in it with Congreve rocket rules for use with the Portable Napoleonic Wargame. As you know l am a big fan of the PNW and was keen to add the new rules to my solo games. On my return l looked out the Minifigs rocket set from the “To do” pile. It had been a present from my daughters a while back. I decided to go with the spare crew l had already painted rather than using the ones from the set. I will use the crew for another project. As well as the Minifigs rocket I made a second out of scraps- pins, an old railway ticket, a cocktail stick and glue. You can see both with glue drying in the pictures below. I was rather pleased with my scratch building and look forward to trying them out in a game over the next few days...

  1. Tradgardmastare,

    Arthur’s rules area great addition to the PNW rules, and I am sure they will be copied and used by a lot of players.

    You’ve made a very nice couple of rocket troughs and crews, and I look forward to seeing them in action.

    All the best,

    Bob
