Played some PITS on Thursday and Friday 20/21st. I think Stewart and i have the rules "off pat" now?
Quite a few variables. Will have to learn these.
I will try to get some videos done next week to help elucidate.

I never realised that Pat contributed to the PITS rules. I assumed they were all your own work Martin.
Looking forward to next Saturday.

I find the PP mechanism-specific videos really helpful - thanks for doing more for PITS, Martin!
Simon
The videos that are currently available are very useful so I'd welcome some for PITS. I appreciate that they're a lot of work so thanks in advance.
I'll be watching 'Khartoum' to get the feel for the period, DVD not video
What about "The Four Feathers" - I think the 1939 Zoltan Korda version is supposed to be the best?
Other directors and versions are available...
I have seen it but don't have it in my collection other wise that would be my 'home work ' Monday.
Guys, any chance if we pop over in the morning Ben could try out a game of PITS?
Dave & Ben
Yes no problem. Do you mean tomorrow or 29th??
martin
29th isn't it at Entoyment?
Dave
29th would be greta
I will get some videos done first to help with the day.
It will be good fun :)
martin
I'm very interested in PITS setting, and as everyone else mentioned, would appreciate some videos to have an idea of the mechanics.

Hi Mathias, are you able to visit Entoyment near Poole Saturday 29th February for the PITS day?
Stewart
Hi Stewart, no luck since I live in South America, most of my wargaming experience is online, except for the rare occasions I actually play a game with my one opponent.
Matías.
Yes, a bit fare to travel
So it there a report on the game session using Patrols in the Sudan and how it went?
Hi Les, long time ago in a different world, I seem to remember about 8 players on 3 tables.
I think we played 3 games During the day with lots of tea and coffee.
There were some winners and a few players came second.
There were some new players and I think the day was enjoyed by all.
Stewart
A long time ago now it seems and a completely different world.
It is an army I would like to do at some point, now I have a fort !I now have the rules as well.
The army that I will do for it will be dual purpose. As it will also represent a British/Canadian force for CWB or at least a percentage will do.
When I done my Western forces this year, I done it with PITS in mind, as Stewart suggested?I ve got an Indian force from PP to do as the Enemy.
Miles
Any rule additions, revisions etc.
No Les, not that I can remember
Stewart
At some point I would love to be able to work with Stewart, on his thoughts and ideas on expanding PITS to other areas ? Like using it for the Wild West ? But I will need to get a fort for that era done as well.
Miles
Morning Mile,
You can use PITs as is for the Wild West.
Replace US Cavalry for British/Egyptian , Native Americans for Dervish.
Scenario - US have to visit a number of homesteads and collect civilians and return
Scenario - US have to recon native village and return
Stewart
Agreed Stewart, these rules would work for any native force against regular trained troops.
