The Adventures of Claude Canard - A Sharp Practice Campaign

6 months of the year gone and very few distractions so far (ok so a few figures for Planet of the Apes), time to turn my attention to the Napoleon in Egypt Project.
I get more done with a target to aim for, so with that in mind thought I would kick off a number of linked games using the Too Fat Lardies excellent Sharp Practice Rules.

I recently picked up the supplement from the TFL's The Compleat Fondler a series of 18 linked scenario's based on and inspired by the Sharpe Series, they are a cracking read and full of great scenario's to play through, however lacking the suitable figures and terrain I thought I would "reimagine" the scenario's for the French in Egypt.

I give you the Adventures of Ensign Claude Canard and his Friend and mentor Ensign CĂ´telettes de Mouton of the French Sloop "Le Vendeen" a paradogy of all things Sharpe and Hornblower.


Ensign Claude Canard of the "Le Vendeen"



Every hero needs a side kick. Ensign CĂ´telettes de Mouton

Sailing ahead of the French Fleet they land in Egypt and are some of the first Frenchmen to reach land fall....

Who knows what adventures will take place..... 

Coming Soon 
Episode One - "Scaling New Heights" - Canard's First outing.

  5. Very keen to see this campaign develop too Stu. Good luck - it can be challenging to bring these sorts of campaigns to life.

    1. You're not wrong Frank, especially when he goes and get's himself killed.... Now that will take a story to get him out of this scrape. As usual it's the less Big men that perform best...
