A couple of weeks ago Steve T brought along this jolly game. It uses Eureka Miniatures figures and rules also published by that company. In short, this silliness involves Victorian-era British Lancers riding around on unicycles (obviously) in pursuit of a steam-powered pig. All clear? Good. The game includes plenty of opportunities for stitching up the other players, so Steve judged his players well!

Lined up for some pig sticking. |

The playing arena can get quite busy! |

You get more points for striking piggie's rear! |
I could tell you who won - but modesty forbids!

Splendid stuff - I commend the President for arranging this entertainment.
Very silly - I want some!

It was quite an entertaining game - and well judged, as the main event of the evening was the post-Triples analysis.

I've no idea if the figures are still available. Remember to post photos if you get some!
Think you can still get them from Eureka Miniatures from their Pax Limpopo range:

Thanks for the info. Not really my sort of thing but it made for a jolly evening.
Uni-cycle mounted pith helmet wearing lancers chasing a steampowered pig? I did just see a post that was about that...didn´t I? Please say I did! :-D

I expect it would work rather well on telly. I will pass on your comments on his fine paintwork to Steve.
My eyes have rolled back into my skull, whatever next...Possum picnics?
Nice post all the same.

Look at it this way. The game kept 4 wargamers off the streets for an hour. Surely this is good for society as a whole?
Yes Tim, perhaps you are right. "Pig Tickling" Keeping the street safe from louts!
