Keep the home fires burning- a Mostly Morschauser Shock Rules game

The  man-orcs have been busy chopping down trees and collecting them for the iron smelting furnaces.After a tiring day all they have to do is to get  home along the forest trail-

However some forest dwellers may have other ideas...

The enraged Ents and huorns have other ideas! This is the set up.The man-orc force has to get the timber safely off the other side of the table.The Ent force has to stop them! Here is the table layout-

Rule amendments-  orc axes  plus + 1 to hit, fire arrows ( kindled on a six) + 1 to hit.
I hope to play out the game later today...

How to do this?

Any suggestions how to do this from the UK?

All is quiet

All is quiet in the Duchy.My youngest finished the final exam of her school career today and will, results willing, go off to Uni post summer. Jan is sleeping as she is in the depths after Monday's chemo went ahead- hopefully she will begin to pull upwards again  towards the end of the weekend. I have been looking at my 1864 books I have already ,some bought in Denmark on holidays and some I purchased here. I have ordered this-

and hope it arrives for the long weekend which we have here.Does anyone know the book?I have read good things regarding it.

Old school mid 19th century rules?

A combination of the current 1864 tv series,my books on the period I have been leafing through and a forth coming book purchase has made my thoughts come round to gaming this period. Any suggestions for suitable rules?

That was the weekend that was

Weekend has flown by and we are poised on the edge of another week. I have not had time to game as I had wished due to visitors etc. We did spend quite a bit of time in the garden and are pleased with how it is looking. Here is a flavour of it-

Last night we all  settled down to watch the following film on dvd-

I have long enjoyed the films of Woody Allen and this proved to be great fun. Well worth a watch.

Jan's Chemo No2 did not take place last Monday due to blood counts. We are reasonably hopeful it will  take place tomorrow. Hobby wise this week I intend to try in spare moments to think how to define my Mythical Earth chaps in terms of Ros's rules and what amendments I might make. Hopefully I will game this next weekend. I also want to do a little reading about late 17th century gardens with a view to a little modelling...

A good watch

On a sunny morning in the Duchy I have just finished watching a splendid new drama (?) on BBC one,but more of that anon. Have you ever tried to get into a novel and try again and again only to discard it? This happened to me with "Johnathon Strange and Mr Norrel" which in the end I passed onto a charity shop and thought no more upon the matter.Until now that is when I gave the tv adaption a go and found it excellent.Who knows I may try the book one day...

1864

Anyone watching this and what do you think?
