"The Al Getya Enigma" Somewhere off an unspecified coast of the Red Sea, near the malodourous port of Al Getya, famous for it's exports of Hashish and slaves, a mysterious fishing boat is sneaking along, with it's navigation lights extinguished. This is because the Royal Navy Destroyer, HMS Vital Spark is hunting for it- due to some spying activity near Aden. Suddenly, there is a crashing and grinding noise as the fishing boat strikes a reef. The captain is knocked out, which is why the coding machine is not thrown overboard when the crew abandons ship. There are quite a few parties interested in acquiring the machine, which is where our game will kick off........

Don what rules, size of forces and board size are you thinking? I seem to remember when we played the Junta Bolt Action game was quite slow because we had quite a few players and quite a large board. Could we do a 6x4 and get stuck into the meat of the game a bit earlier?

This won't be as big- I still need to plan the board though.

Excellent game, chaps! Grand Vizier Rashid is the new Sultan, Caboos being killed in a valiant fight with the Resident's association. Rashid is supported in his new role by his ally , Ivan Skavinsky Skavor. Lo Fat Duk was shot by the White Russians, and Colonel Bogard was killed when a building fell on him. Sub Lieutenant Phillips was mowed down by some very angry Chinese , who he'd annoyed by shooting at their mates for no apparent reason. Lo Fat Duk did actually find the coding machine, but the Whites gunned him down as he fled the scene

Clearly, HMG are not at all pleased at the turn of events, and have dispatched HMS Underachiever commanded by Captain " Old Thunderguts" Povey, nor are the shadowy former owners of the cypher machine. Sniffing around the edges of this as well is Baksheesh Pasha, a renegade Turk, exiled by Kemal Ataturk , and his band of desperadoes. Perhaps the Tongs will seek revenge for the slaughter of Lo Fat Duk? And what of the French Anglophobe Capitaine de Gaulloise.....
