Tonks!


I got to try out Tonks! with Jamie, and can report with certainty that they are fun and very easy rules, with a nice dose of nuance and randomness sprinkled on top.  


If I have one complaint, its that a two person game seems to ultimately devolve into both tonks ("chonky tanks?") across from each other just firing repeatedly as the utility of moving decreases.  For this reason Jamie and I contemplated randomized "partisans" who pop around in the terrain and take pot shots at your tonks, to add the danger of another enemy to the board.  Very fun, very social, very recommend.  

 You can download the Tonks rules for free from 28 Mag: https://28-mag.com/games/

Turnipday IX

 

TurnipDayIX, a monthly Turnip28 casual meetup, was a few weeks ago but I have been slow to post up my pics.  Good turnout with 8 players, all of whom played at least 2 games. Four of us stuck around a little longer and played a gonzo 2v2 game on a large board (most of the pics are of that game).  Can't wait for the 10th installment!

An exciting Toff Off between Rob and Matt's generals

"Gone Fishing" and "Chanterelle's Disaster" scenarios underway.






Awesome 3d-printed helmets designed by Jamie.


Procession of Woe on the Scrumford Bridge scenario.

Amazing conversions of Squigs to turnip cavalry by James.

Anna's Knights of Shellwood - I believe these are converted from larger Conquest minis.
