More work on my Late Victorian game.
The floor of The house has been slimmed down, and "intrigues" replaced by "the papers.". I found the original intrigues concept to be far too Roman.
Active in wars, and the Treasury are the only other areas to have cards played directly. Politicians go into their respective parties on the floor of the house.
A second display uses a copyright free world map, and army officers are placed here, beginning in Home Service before being sent out fight. Forces will still equate to 24 point Men who Would be Kings armies.
Lastly the politicians. This is my first group. Sir Sid is the only ringer I used, the rest being all prominent political figures of the period. The additional numbers on the cards denote their influence, added up to discover the strength of the party when voting. Party lines were not perhaps as rigid as in modern politics.
It seems that between this and my scratch built 2mm figures, the game is progressing towards a new state opening of the 1879 Parliament
