Another game that I'll be running at the Fall In Convention,
the theme of which is Polish military history, will be The Twelve Chairs -
Treasure-hunting in the Polish Soviet War. This was inspired by the old
Mel Brooks movie of the same name. While the movie is set in 1927, I decided to bring the story back in time. Thus, in the
middle of the 1919-1920 battles between the new Polish Republic and the Red Army for the Eastern Borderlands, word that the fabulous jewels
of the Vorobyaninov family may be hidden in some dining room furniture on their
old estate in Ukraine. A race is on between Poles, Reds, Whites, Ukrainians, and other
adventurers to find this treasure. Basically, each player will control a portion of one of these forces that will include different troop types and vehicles plus some "treasure-hunter" characters who will have certain abilities to search for the treasure. Here's some pictures. The table for this convention will be double for the convention, the two Cigar Box Mats European mats joined together as a base. Most of the figures are Copplestone, Brigade, Old Glory, and Siberia Studios.

A truly splendid looking game, very well done!
That looks like spectacular fun!
That looks like a whole lot of fun! What rules are you using?
Thanks! I'll be using a modification of the Astounding Tales! pulp rules, available from Pulp Action Library, http://www.pulpactionlibrary.com/
Your plane could be flown by Merian C Cooper, future producer/director of King Kong who in reality was actually shot down flying for the Kosciusko sqdn. He was captured by the Bolsheviks and escaped to Persia.
Regarding Merian Cooper, that's exactly the plan! He'll be looking for money to fund the big monkey movie.
